China Media Group heralds Winter Olympics with humanoid robot x -47.4C

With the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics opening this week, China Media Group (CMG) has released this promotional video for its upcoming coverage. The promo features an android developed by Unitree Robotics, and is attracting widespread and understandably mixed reactions. Shot in Altay, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, it represents the first time an android has walked by itself in a temperature of -47.4 degrees Celsius. While some are loving the sheer virtuosity of the AI technology, others will be horrified - for varying reasons - and others still will just be left wondering 'why?'. The campaign launches as alarms heighten over the future of humanity and whether it will be replaced by AI - or humans with AI. What effect does this ad have on you?
