Since the robots (especially sophia) have no personality of their own, nor the will to change their actions, then, at this point, there is no AIs. And barring a completely radical shift from binary computation, there will be no AIs.
All there are is more and more complex expert systems.
Thus, these people either believe we live in a sci-fi world, or they are trying to blame of any bad happening off on the robot.
Or something worse, like taking away human rights, by programming robots to intrude. Or maybe something even more nefarious.
But, when we still have self-driving-cars that are programmed to ignore bikes (because the program can't deal with them) then we have a long way to go before we actually have real robots.
