What do you think about Sofia, the first robot who just had been granted the Saudi Arabian citizenship?

I must admit I'm completely overwhelmed. I think it's great and hadn't realized that technology was that advanced, but don't manage to assess all the consequences that can have.

I think that sofia the robot is actually a technological breakthrough because for the first time a robot has been given a citizenship. I think that sofia is a masterpiece and I hope that sofia is not like one of the movies that wants to destroy humans in time ;)

Yeah, sorry to disappoint you, but that was mostly a publicity stunt. And if you've seen the video until the end, you know that was (at least partly, maybe largely) scripted. :P

That's not to say real progress isn't being made in the area, but it's nowhere near the "giving the robots citizenship" level. Also, it's a bit ironic that Saudi Arabia, of all places, is concerned about "human" rights.

I'm shocked, the robot got citizenship, what next, the legalization of marriage relations with robots? Although in history there was a case (in some state of the US), a man officially married a vacuum cleaner...

xD was it in Vegas or not even? humans' extravangances...

Uh oh - she had the "greed" upgrade installed... she may want to take over the world.  :/

Yeah, that's how far technologies have come. The trend will continue. We will live with robots just like in sci-fi movies. I like video with Sophia as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg_tJvCA8zw. That's hilarious ;D

I completely agree with you about the fact that it happened in SA! And idk if I'm disappointed or comforted to be honest.
But you're right, progress is being made: https://www.wired.com/2016/01/in-a-huge-breakthrough-googles-ai-beats-a-top-player-at-the-game-of-go/
This article is from 2016, but I've heard a new computer just beat this one recently, learning how to play go (or chest, i don't remember) in only 4 hrs. Can't find anything online about it though.

Actually, it's really amazing. But it's scaring too: we don't know exactly how far this stuff with artificial intelligence can go.

This, one of the first of its type, is already threatening the human existence, what would happen when we make them with Guns and sensors. They'll soon take over the world.

I don't know but i don't like the idea of having robot citizen. Idk but it gives me chill when she said she wants to upgrade herself. What if no one can have access to her if she keeps upgrading herself?

I just hope Saudi can make her feel comfortable.  :D

Kinda creepy, will the robots rule over human being in the near future?

I am not much bothered about the robot. But what is the point in granting citizenship to a robot, when people who have spend 30 or 40 years in Saudi Arabia are still refused the Saudi citizenship, just because they are not Muslims? Granting citizenship to a robot will not make the Saudis progressive. It just shows how hypocritical they are.

Sofia Robot is a modern invention.It makes our life comfortable by using his activities and it is the icon of modernism . 

I think it is a great improvement for our technology and in the future we will see many company going to develop robot and Artificial Intelligence, I like people keep on inventing new things to help our life become better

I like these robots very much because in near future they will do the work for us. I'm absolutely not afraid of them.
The only thing is the military robots, but in the long run it will come out that robots will fight against robots, I hope. Military robots fighting against humans would be not so good.

Sofia Robot is a modern invention. I think that sofia the robot is actually a technological breakthrough because for the first time a robot has been given a citizenship.

With what Sofia says i think she could be a threat to the humanity . Who know she won't build her own a army that could destroy everything ?

Not one film has already been created on this topic. In these films everything is very beautiful and romantic. However, I think that in real life everything looks very different.
If people start giving human rights to robots, then a wave in society will rise. There are many who will be against and long proceedings will begin who is right and who is not. Mankind will not come to a common opinion for a long time whether it is necessary to give human rights to machines. All this time there will be disputes and discussions in the media, on the Internet.
Personally, I do not understand why a robot needs citizenship

Some people were saying the same when computers were invented. But what happened after that? It is true that computers made a few million people unemployed. At the same time, it created tens of millions of job opportunities in the form of ITES sector. I don't think that robots pose a challenge to humanity. The major threat for humanity comes from the humans themselves.

Sofia the robot means a great step that scientific advancement has reach it peak. More robots will be granting such residency and believe the future will be mixed robots and humans. lolll ;D

When I saw the video it feels different. Maybe I watched toovmany apocalyptic movies were robots take over human race. At the same time I was amazes on how technology progress from a simple cheap robot int the 90's to something that has been given citizenship. I don't see their point why they need to give a robot that right. It looks like human but it should be treated as human. There are a lot of people who needs citizenship maybe then can be prioritized as well.

There has a thing that gonna make bad if something create robot with some intelligent more than a people

• First, if a robot has a program that what will do, it follow what a program has.
• when something really happen on its function the robot doesn't know what its going
• it doesnt know how the right or the wrong works. it create all work literal
• there has a chance that a robot can be the one who can be a man and a man doesnt do anything because a robot can do what people can do.

It is good to have robot but it is too much risky for us to have a robot like man.

i think that the human race will not the only race in future. robots like this will have an improvement in coming years. i hope that this kind of system will not give us a threat but give us help.

It's a marketing scheme - wonder what they plan to do with this, this time.

I think that this is a great achievement for humanity. She is very similar to a person. We should be proud that we could do her. It's exciting!

I think that is one of the first innovation of man as a robot lady being a member of a society. So she means she can blends and join the community do whatever humans do. I think in the future if this is really successful some will turn them into a wife of their own. So is the reality happened like in the movies that humans interacting with robots in real life scenario. This will come to happen more like imagine if there's really a full functioning robot policemen on the streets controlling order and peace. What if it will be used for bad intentions? Then comes the problem.

She's very cool. But all this is a little frightening. I don't want  that people to be fewer in the future than robots.

Very impressive. I'm not too comfortable with this kind of evolution.

That will be a good thing, isn't it? If the human population is low, that will put less stress on the environment. Because robots need only metal and electricity. They don't need things such as food, water, medicine, sex, entertainment.etc. Also, there will be no jealousy, laziness, disease, warfare, sabotage.etc, as robots are immune to emotions.  

scientists invention is a miracle to everyone.but such invention like sofia the robot may have good or bad effect too.I really appreciate such thing but if this are used against man so what happen then.we have to do such thing which could be helpful to man.

I really think it's a stupid idea to make humanoid robots. And now there are companies manufacturing sex robots and it's more crazy if we see human-robot marriage in the future. Robots should be modified as a helping tool and only as that.

I think this is a fake :)

I didn't realize that we had knowledge to build something like that. That is as you said amazaing and bad. I do believe that we should not create advance artificial inteligence. We all seen that movie for sure.

Sophia is a robot created by Dr. David Hanson, president of Hanson Robotic. Hanson himself said that Sophia was inspired by his wife Sophia, and beautiful artist Audrey Hepburn.

I am a little bit worried about artificial intelligence. We saw many scientific films yet and there were many robots in those films. Some of them were distopic and some of them were utopic. I also can not estimate that Sofia will be good or bad for humanity.

She can be helpful to a lot of people but every time  I saw her, it gives me creeps. I have this uneasy feeling whenever I look in her eyes. I don't know if its the same with others but that's how I felt. I also think that we don't have to make those robots look exactly like humans. I know we are in an era were these things will exist but for some reason it doesn't feel right. I was wondering what will be the next one. A robot who can create their own kind? Who knows.

I am not much worried about it. Robots will never ever be able to procreate. How can machines reproduce by themselves? I am afraid that you are watching too many sci-fi movies lately. Don't lose your sleep over artificial intelligence and all. AI is at least 200 years away. 

Roboys can kill people someday

I think this is more like a marketing stuff. There is already a robot on the internet that types shit, the only difference is that that robot is speaking the words and it has a phisical shape.

I think sofia the robot is fake.

this is a huge technological step forward. I'm scared because of the fantastic films about capturing the planet by robots. Behind the robots the future

Artificial intelligence is what is going to propel humans into the new age. We can't be scared of it because it's going to happen eventually, we really should embrace it.

I don't like it and it feels disgusting. I feel like we are so pathetic that we can't get along with real humans anymore  in the future and we only talk to robots to make us feel good. I don't get why it should have the same resemblance like us?

You should watch out for sofia so that she didnt cause headache for the saudi dwellers, cant say when technology become human wiper

To summarize, Sophia seems to be no more (and I suspect, far less) advanced than Siri or Alexa or Cortana. It’s a shame that so many people (and even governments) fell for this, because it contributes to the AI hysteria and grossly misleads the public about the state of the art in AI.

But one thing though. The robot has got some amazingly realistic facial expressions. Too bad the creators didn’t receive enough funding for a wig.

Robot Sophia of artificial intelligence Saudi Arabia has already given him citizenship. According to sources in the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology, Bangladesh Biman has announced the announcement of 'Gold Membership' to Robot Sophia. Robot Sophia found the "citizenship" of Saudi Arabia, like the robot of Sofia, can be expressed as a human face, just like people like humans have learned to love. Made by Hollywood legend Adre Haipburn, Sofia now wants to take a child. The family also wants to form In a recent interview, when asked about his future plans, he says that the family is very important. Robot Sophia, a Hong Kong-based robot manufacturing company, created Hanson robotics. Artificial intelligence Sophia can face almost like people. But his reaction is not already determined.

That sounds to me like the terminator salvation. Wont it be a cause of concern right?? LOL

I watched a few videos with Sofia. I was shocked! This robot came out of fantastic films! This is such progress!

I think its too much to have it a citizenship; because no matter what its still a robot, a mere robot only

A good news actually no doubt because it means that the first robot also had well tech inside it

In the future real women in Saudi Arabia will become virtually invisible on the streets and used only for reproduction, while the streets will be populated by herds of sexy female robots who will continuously praise the virtues of the Saudi men.

Sophia is amazing,perfect humanoid.A lot of people love her.Sophia has been covered by media around the globe and has participated in many interviews.
In this interviews you can notice the sophistication of many of response of Sophia to their questions.This is the new era.

I think this is a pretty cool robot, it's pretty high-tech and it has a good artificial intelligence, I think it's cool.
