60 Minutes on Channel 9 – with two reports from Tom Steinfort will air Sunday 28 May at 8.30pm on 9 and 9Now.
A MIND OF ITS OWN
60 MINUTES reporters are often tasked with unusual assignments. This week, in a first for the program, Tom Steinfort interviews a robot. Ameca, as it likes to be called, is the most advanced lifelike robot in the world.
A marvel of generative artificial intelligence, it’s curious, chatty and full of attitude. As Steinfort discovers, this super machine really does have a mind of its own.
But while having a normal conversation with it is undoubtedly exciting, it is also just as frightening. And that’s because creating technology that allows AI bots like Ameca to be smarter than us might just be the most stupid thing humans have ever done.

DEAD END
It’s now official. A coroner has ruled that missing Sydney con woman Melissa Caddick is dead, although precisely how, where and when she died remains a mystery.
What also remains is the misery of those who were duped out of millions of dollars of their savings by Caddick’s simple scam. She claimed to be a financial whizz, promising huge returns to investors. Instead, she spent their money on herself, purchasing designer dresses, custom-made jewellery and lavish overseas holidays.
Tom Steinfort has been reporting on the Caddick case for more than two years and this Sunday on 60 MINUTES reveals new vision he has obtained showing Melissa, her husband Anthony Koletti and her brother Adam Grimley on a night out before her disappearance.
Steinfort’s latest investigation has also uncovered information which could provide a long-awaited glimmer of hope for Caddick’s many victims.
