Donald Trump looks bewildered from the commander’s hatch of a massive US Abrams tank on a snowy Ottawa street.

HONK’s white-and-black humanoid robot stands at the United Nations General Assembly lectern, facing a chamber filled with world leaders and delegates. A screen shows Earth beside symbols for war, climate danger and artificial intelligence. Some delegates raise their hands while others confer, study papers, avoid eye contact or point across the chamber. António Guterres smiles from the front row. The robot says, ‘Yes, I think we have time for questions.’
