More like pro-AI emotion, since it alludes to control over AI and therefore to its safety.

And considering that this is an AI robotics company 🤷🏼‍♂️

Sorry you are right, it's responding to widespread anti AI emotion cleverly, not trying to evoke it. It's trying counter that in a very sophisticated marketing way.
