What do you think about Sofia the Robot

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.

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...

I'm always happy to be surrounded by smart people, who are rich and powerful

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

[Neurogress]

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

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. 

[Superrbat]

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

[Sithara007]

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 . 

[machinek20]

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

[LivingDeath]

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.

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 ?

[HollywoodCoins]

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.
