不滿人類工作被搶　美退休教授阻擋外送機器人被捕

美國賓州最大城費城1名現年78歲的退休大學教授認為機器人威脅到外送員工作，因此多次在市區阻擋Uber Eats的送貨機器人以示抗議，她本月稍早不顧警方規勸讓路而遭到逮捕。

科技新聞網站「科技時代英國版」（Tech Times UK）報導，這起事件是14日發生在費城（Philadelphia）市中心，據當地媒體報導，當時賓州大學（University of Pennsylvania）前教授馬文（Carolyn Marvin）在人行道上看見1台Uber Eats的外送機器人後，便站在其前方阻擋其通行。

警方表示，他們接獲報案後抵達現場，數度要求馬文讓開，好讓機器人完成送貨任務，但都遭到對方拒絕，於是依妨害秩序罪將她逮捕。

「費城之聲」（PhillyVoice）報導，馬文表示她從幾個月前便開始在街頭阻擋外送機器人，自己已記不清做過多少次。她先前有幾次行動曾在網路上流傳，但這次是首度有警方介入。

馬文堅稱，她這麼做是一種公眾抗議形式，藉此反對在美國街頭有越來越多送貨機器人，而她的這項行動是憲法賦予的權利。

馬文告訴費城媒體6abc Action News：「我知道它們（機器人）正在搶走人類外送員的工作，所以每當我看到它們，便會站在前方阻止其前進，作為抗議。」

A 78-year-old retired professor was arrested in Philadelphia after staging a physical standoff with an autonomous delivery robot Carolyn Marvin, a former University of Pennsylvania professor, deliberately blocked the path of an Uber Eats robot on a city sidewalk. She stated that her actions were a planned protest against corporations using automation to replace human delivery workers. When police arrived and asked her to step aside, she refused to let the machine pass. Officers then handcuffed Marvin and charged her with disorderly conduct. Following the incident, she argued her actions are protected free speech and pledged to continue intercepting the devices. Was the police right to arrest a 78-year-old for blocking a machine, or did they go too far? Media: New York Post
