The International Space Station’s artificial intelligence ‘companion’ CIMON was switched off shortly after it was activated as it started giving attitude.
CIMON, standing for Crew Interactive MObile companioN, was built to be a friend and a tool to help, however, after a short while of being switched on it was clear to see CIMON had other plans, after refusing to turn off a song when commanded to.
The robot is now back in its box, powered down, with no further interactive sessions planned for the immediate future.
