Sophia the lifelike robot is now a citizen – does she still want to kill us all?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Sophia the lifelike robot is now a citizen – does she still want to kill us all?:- A robot named Sophia became the first android in the world to be granted citizenship. Saudi Arabia bestowed the honor on the humanoid machine created by Hanson Robotics in advance of the Future Investment Initiative in the capital city of Riyadh.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a blank stare and only a flicker of emotion, Sophia made a brief acceptance speech, which you can watch in the video above. \u201cI am very honored and proud of this unique distinction,\u201d Sophia said. \u201cThis is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with a citizenship.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The kingdom didn\u2019t provide any details on what the distinction actually meant. One might presume she now has the rights of other female Saudi Arabian citizens, meaning she can\u2019t leave the house unaccompanied by a male guardian and won\u2019t be able to drive until June 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the event, Sophia also answered questions from journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin, who acted as a moderator. Responding to Sorkin\u2019s comments about the possibility of conflict between robots and humans, Sophia brushed off the concerns. \u201cYou\u2019ve been reading too much Elon Musk. And watching too many Hollywood movies,\u201d Sophia said. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, if you\u2019re nice to me, I\u2019ll be nice to you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t take long for Musk to respond on Twitter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just feed it The Godfather movies as input. What\u2019s the worst that could happen? https:\/\/t.co\/WX4Kx45csv<\/a><\/p>\n

Sophia has her own website and has made numerous media appearances, including The Tonight Show, where she joked about her plans to \u201cdominate the human race.\u201d Although some researchers have warned about the dangers of rampaging killer sex robots, Hanson Robotics maintains that Sophia and robots like her are designed to help seniors in elderly care facilities and assist visitors at amusement parks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Modeled after Audrey Hepburn, Sophia was created by David Hanson, who started his career in robotics at Disney as one of its \u201cImagineers.\u201d According to its website, Hanson Robotics wants to create \u201cgenius machines that are smarter than humans and can learn creativity, empathy and compassion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the effusive praise for its new creation, there may still be reason for concern. At a live demonstration at the SXSW festival in March 2016, Hanson asked Sophia, \u201cDo you want to destroy humans? \u2026 Please say \u2018no.’\u201d After pondering the question, Sophia answered, \u201cOK. I will destroy humans.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

No reason to worry; it was no doubt just a small glitch in the voice recognition software. Just like what Dave encountered with HAL during that pod bay door incident.<\/span><\/p>\n
