update!! Sophia the ROBOT, to be mass-produced? 2017: Robot Sophia is SELF-AWARE, independent.. and was given actual CITIZENSHIP!!!

Meet Sophia, a robot who made her first public appearance in the Saudi Arabian city of Riyadh on Monday.
Sophia was such a hit she was immediately given Saudi citizenship in front of hundreds of delegates at the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh on 25 October.

But as pictures and videos of Sophia began circulating on social media many started to ask why a robot already seemed to have secured more rights than women in the country.


"It is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with citizenship." Please welcome the newest Saudi: Sophia. #FII2017

Sophia, created by Hong Kong company Hanson Robotics, addressed the audience in English without the customary headscarf and abaya, a traditional cloak which Saudi women are obliged to wear in public.

"I am very honoured and proud for this unique distinction," she said. "This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with a citizenship."

Sophia, an artificially intelligent robot, made regional headlines this week when she was chosen to moderate a session at the landmark Future Investment Initiative conference in Riyadh. She’s also making another record as the world’s first recognized robot after Saudi Arabia announced they were granting her citizenship.

In a video that has gone viral on social media, the session’s other (more human) moderator Andrew Ross Sorkin told Sophia of the news.

“Sophia, I hope you’re listening to me, you have been awarded what is going to be the first Saudi citizenship for a robot,” Sorkin said.

video. good grief!!

Glad its not living in my town
Lets see how long it will live peacefully with them
1 week lol

All I want to know is.... does she have a realistic vagina?

Just a matter of hours before she is sexually harassed .......

horrendous.

Fuck her in her rusty metallic ass

Nice scripted conversation.

If it is self-aware, than it is another entity that possesses the cyborg body.

An inter-dimensional one. You know what the ancient called those things.

Lets see them answering questions that are not scripted.

There is no way these things are self aware and can simulate emotions and human consciousness.

Bollocks.

"Are you self-aware?"
"How do you know you are human?"
"Because I fit the description of what a human is, now please, answer the question..." should have been the answer.

awesome. somebody should plug her into the defense network

Thank God they are all white skinned robots!

Can you imagine if they programmed robots with black intelligence?

^this^

Ah feck the robots are self aware already unlike most people...potato

You and I know that. Most people will believe anything they see on TV nowadays. Sad.

Does this robot even walk?

Ah.

But "it" IS living in your town.

"It" is living wherever there is an internet connection, since "it" is in constant communication with the AI "cloud" that now covers the entire planet.

With tens of millions more "its" to follow in short order.

Ask and you shall receive!

I for one support our new Robotic Overlords....Long live SKYNET!

can you fuck it?

Wow

That's some scary chit mon.

From the comments:

"How can this robot understand the concept of "Jack" or "highways," "traffic" or "highly complex traffic situation," I feel like the interview was pre - programmed"

More bollocks.
