The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has granted a non-human female robot named Sophia citizenship rights, becoming the first country to do so.
Sophia was granted the honour while on stage at the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, appearing, curiously, without covering her hair – a right (human) women in the country are not afforded.
“I am very honored and proud for this unique distinction,” Sophia said onstage. “This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with a citizenship.”
Sophia was created by David Hanson, founder of Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics, and was described by the company as “the most beautiful and celebrated robot,” with “porcelain skin,” “slender nose” and an “intriguing smile.”
Sophia, while speaking at the event, took a dig at tech innovator Elon Musk, who has consistently expressed his distaste for Artificial Intelligence.
She told her interviewer Andrew Sorkin who told the robot “we all want to prevent a bad future,” that he’d been “reading too much Elon Musk.”
Sophia has elicited worry from several people, who say AI could be a threat to humans.
In March 2016, whoen Hanson asked her, “Do you want to destroy humans?… Please say no,” she had replied, “OK. I will destroy humans.”

Humans are digging their own graves. This is nons3nse.Just like the pharmaceutical industries and some s3lfish scientists with the help of government officials are creating diseases and selling drugs back to us to cure them, so have they began the ***barred word*** path of accepting robots to have rights of human race, as another means to attack the human family as the only source procreation by the Father. While the West is busily promoting the rights of gay-ism and lesbianism; the Arabs with their oil money is initiating this hollywood stup1d1ty. In fact the anchors and proponents of the supposed world order have their footings everywhere....but indeed they will fail no matter how they try, because our Redeemer lives.
