Meet the first-ever robot citizen — a humanoid named Sophia that once said it would 'destroy humans'
Sophia the robot is the first robot in history to be granted full citizenship of a country.
Sophia the robot won't not show some kindness or mind, but rather it has Saudi Arabian citizenship.
As of October 25, Sophia is the main robot in history to be a full native of a nation.
Sophia was produced by Hanson Robotics, drove by AI designer David Hanson. It talked at the current year's Future Investment Initiative, held in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh.
Sophia once said it would "obliterate people," however this time around the robot talked about its want to live serenely among people.
This is what the robot is about.
Sophia was designed in Audrey Hepburn's image, with high cheekbones and a slender nose.
Sophia has showed up on The Tonight Show and at various gatherings around the globe, including the World Economic Forum and the "AI For Good" Global Summit.
"Sophia is a developing virtuoso machine," the organization states on its site. "After some time, her expanding insight and wonderful story will charm the world and associate with individuals paying little mind to age, sexual orientation, and culture.
David Hanson, a former Disney Imagineer, created the robot with the goal of helping the elderly who need personal aides and the general public at major events or parks.
"Our mission through robots like Sophia is to construct the full human experience into the robots, make robots that can truly comprehend us and think about us," Hanson revealed to Business Insider in January .
He needs individuals to communicate with Sophia similarly they'd converse with a companion. In the long run, he trusts the robot can see the social world similarly as it sees the physical world. Its present state is still somewhat harsh with regards to smooth discussion.
A complex set of motors and gears power Sophia, enabling a range of facial expressions.
Sophia has a substance shaded zipper running down the base of its neck, and the uncovered plastic skull doesn't exactly offer the dream of mankind.
Be that as it may, the guts of Sophia's hardware are charming. Alongside the mechanical frameworks that enable Sophia to "act out," the machine learning programming stores bits of discussion in its memory and tries to get a handle on the stream of dialog to deliver live answers progressively.
"Sophia is Hanson Robotics' most recent and most progressive robot," the site states
