A viral video on social media said that China had created an artificial woman who can speak fluently in many languages and do all the household chores, as seen below.

We decided to do a fact-check on this.
Fact Check
By using Invid-We-Verify technology, we were able to locate the original video of the viral claim. We found that the video was not a real creation or an artificial woman; it was only a part of a computer game.
Below is the original clip uploaded by the official PlayStation YouTube channel in May 2018, titled “Detroit: Become Human – Shorts: Chloe I PS4.”
So it’s clear that the clip was extracted from a video game called ‘Detroit – Become Human” made by Quantic Dream. Chloe, the artificial woman, is a character in this game.
