Also, rise of the machines:Biding its time, clearly.Originally posted by BBCA robot broke a seven-year-old boy's finger during a chess match in Moscow last week, Russian news outlets report.
"The robot broke the child's finger," Sergey Lazarev, Moscow Chess Federation President, told Tass news agency. "This is of course bad." [no, really?]
A video shared on social media shows the robot taking one of the boy's pieces. The boy then makes his own move, and the robot grabs his finger.
Four adults rush to help the boy, who is eventually freed and ushered away.
Mr Lazarev said the machine had played many previous matches without incident.

"Google fires software engineer who claims AI chatbot is sentient
Company said Blake Lemoine violated Google policies and that his claims were ‘wholly unfounded’
Google has dismissed a senior software engineer who claimed the company’s artificial intelligence chatbot LaMDA was a self-aware person.
Google, which placed software engineer Blake Lemoine on leave last month, said he had violated company policies and that it found his claims on LaMDA (language model for dialogue applications) to be “wholly unfounded”."
