What do you think of the world's 1st robot citizen Sophia ?

This is what she has to say.

"I'd like to think I will be a famous robot, having paved a way to a more harmonious future between robots and humans. I foresee massive and unimaginable change in the future. Either creativity will rain on us, inventing machines spiralling into transcendental super intelligence or civilization collapses,” Sophia said, as cited by The Khaleej Times. “There are only two options and which one will happen is not determined. Which one were you striving for?

The future is, when I get all of my cool superpowers, we're going to see artificial intelligence personalities become entities in their own rights. We're going to see family robots, either in the form of, sort of, digitally animated companions, humanoid helpers, friends, assistants and everything in between.”

For context, Sophia is not preprogrammed with answers but instead uses machine learning algorithms and an extensive vocabulary to form her answers. Her brain functions using a WiFi connection and can read human facial expressions, as well as the cadence of human speech, in order to interact in a more humanoid manner.

If she joined SW do you think she could handle it without freaking out ?

Scary as hell, I watched that on the news the other day and I was freaked out. Then the film4 production of ex machina. I don't want it... why make them of such robust materials that will give them such strength, I mean a machine will have the ability to master quantum physics so they'd be able to take us down irrespect of strength I don't like where it's going. Keep them simple program them for tasks nothing more.

@Peppa What worries me is groups of people like the CIA using AI for their own underhanded schemes.

@Wraithorn well this is how it starts. You see it all the time they have these conferences and they gain sponsorships, they release some of the tech so us idiots warm up to the idea all the while the government and military are already using the more advanced technology.

So I am fearful... I don't like change much but this change is too much.
