So far we have seen Sophia accomplish many tasks in a very short time. The robot become a Saudi Arabian citizen in October 2017, the first of her kind to receive citizenship of any country. She has also appeared on talk shows and there are even rumors of her threatening to 'destroy humans.'
So, lets review the facts shall we?
Designed by Hong Kong firm Hanson Robotics, Sophia uses machine learning, and responds by reading people's expressions. She even cracked a few jokes in a recent interview with Jimmy Fallon.
What do we know so far.
1.) Sophia was developed in Hong Kong by Hanson Robotics.
2.) Sophia has citizenship
3.) Sophia can read facial expressions
4.) Sophia can crack jokes...
Although Sophia has previously said that the A.I. "is designed around human values like wisdom, kindness, and compassion," she has also hinted at darker tendencies. A technical glitch at a SXSW event in 2016 saw her claim she will "destroy humans," leaving her creator red-faced.
5.) Sophia is two faced.. Where could she have learned that from eh?
6.) Sophia may respect humans or desire to destroy us...
It's this idea that Twitter has run with. After all, if Hollywood has taught us anything about robots it's that you don't want to be around when they turn on the human race. Check out a selection of the best responses below.
We've never known the masses on twitter to give up an opportunity to completely freak out now have we?
I agree with the idea that we should be very careful as we move forward integrating AI and robotics into our daily lives...
What do you guys think about the information presented here?
Will Sophia be friend or foe towards humanity?
As always, thanks for dropping by @techblogger !

Twitter is preparing for Sophia the robot to destroy all humans, and the results are hilarious - The Fader
Most men want those fembots for just one purpose I think ;)! What's next, an artificial womb?
Wow i love robot technology i like your post & up botied
A nice and Informative article...

I think she is programmed and just like other "machines" she is capable of malfunctioning and that can be disastrous. On the light note, I hope she won't read this!
It is too early to tell, but I am sure that at this point Sophia is not capable of free thinking and expressing her own opinion (not even for humans it is clear if there is a free will, but that´s another story). All what it says, are preprogrammed statements and a clever algorhythm decides which joke to crack when. The thing with the "destroy humans" is for sure also such an item, that got released obviously to the surprise of its creator (or the surprise was just staged, so he could fool some viewers about the level of spontanousness of the machine). Nothing to really worry about currently. If the point of singularity comes and a real mind of an true AI awakes to consciousness, it won´t be in a late night show discussion where even the human responses are known in advance, but maybe in a lab anywhere without letting others even know about its achievement (worst case!). Or the AI hacks itself in all networks at once and speaks to all humans. Or it is stupid like a moron. Or speaks in a language unknown to anybody. Nobody knows what will happen but I am sure the AI won´t smile that idiotically like Sophia.
Good points! Now I can sleep with only one eye open tonight... Be wary of killer robots friend. (satire..)
Yes i am not sure IF she will be a friend or foe. Plus she is also programmed, every part of her response to behaviour is a design. What will happen if there was a virus? I am actually not too sure what will happen, I am just sure that it will not look anything like how we have been showed in Hollywood. Maybe the worst thing that could happen would be a hacked robot
Fear to thinking about ‘Destroy Humans’ 😨
This is a prime example of what AI is really capable of . If robots start thinking on their own terms and their own mission we could be up for a rude awakening!

Thank you for posting this and bringing awareness to the topic. In my opinion Sophia is the first of many of her kind, and that's just a part from the natural course of AI's development. If she's going to be our friend or foe, it depends on us!
The terminator rise against the machine
Wow it is mind blowing and even scary sometimes the way technology is moving forward... Be very weary women of the world, the rise of the sex bots are upon us... and it seems they want to replace you all completely... lol
