Saudi Arabia has granted citizenship to the robot. As a result, Sophia became the first robot in history to receive citizenship. However, for many, the issue of robot citizenship seems to be just a ‘PR stunt’ or a bit of propaganda.

Because for Robots, citizenship doesn’t really matter – at least common sense says, where people have to struggle to get citizenship.

However, let’s find out some information about robot Sophia.

Saudi Arabia has granted ‘full citizenship’ to a female robot named Sofia at the Future Investment Initiative conference in Riyadh.

Sophia is a ‘social robot’. It can understand human language through space recognition technology. With the help of artificial intelligence, Sophia listens and analyzes you and is able to answer accordingly. The primary purpose of the Sophia robot was to help the elderly in their daily work. In addition, Sophia can help with customer service and various information and small tasks for visitors to various events and parks.

SophiaThe AI ​​(artificial intelligence) used in ” encourages it to agree with humans. But a lot of times it comes up with some embarrassing answers. Many fear that robots with artificial intelligence could wreak havoc on mankind. For this, Hanson, the creator of Sophia, once asked Sophia on a show Did“Sophia, do you want to destroy mankind? ো Please say ‘no'” Sophia replied “OK, I will destroy mankind”. In fact, Sophia answered so quickly that she prepared the answer before she heard Hanson’s “please say no.”
