the first robot ever to get citizenship has been doing the rounds as the latest internet meme. from her wiki: QUOTE Cameras within her eyes combined with computer algorithms allow Sophia to see. She can follow faces, sustain eye contact, and recognize individuals. She is able to process speech and have conversations using Alphabet’s Google Chrome voice recognition technology and other tools Sophia runs on artificially intelligent software that is constantly being trained in the lab, so her conversations are likely to get faster, Sophia's expressions are likely to have fewer errors, and she should answer increasingly complex questions with more accuracy what do ya'll think? a break through in science, or technology going too far? is there a place for AI so close to being human? |

Yes! The future is... probably going to involve a lot of robots so bring them on. And if we ever get to a point where AI are living among us as such that we have societal questions about their roles in society, I'd say we're doing pretty good for ourselves as a race.

I’ve seen her on Good Morning Britain and all I can think of is that they modelled her on Hayden Panittierre!

I did a topic in sociology last year that was all about how we define what is and isn't human and a lot of the things that theorists were coming up with are pretty much being implemented into robots like Sophia, AI is coming up at an alarming rate. I suppose you could say a "soul" but that's not something measurable really, and there are concepts and processes people have said are uniquely human like executive function - we have desires and impulses but also self control when you realise you can't just do what you want to get what you want all the time - and whilst Sophia doesn't have that yet there seems to be so much scope for learning and for her to get all that. It is kinda weird and creepy but also fascinating when you think about where this could go, I'm interested to see how she develops and "learns" and what she picks up as a result.
