#RememberThis #StayWoke #wakeup #Revelation is #uponus #wearethepeople @Regranned from @topflightconsciousness - Thoughts? - #Sophia smiled at them and they collectively swooned as the delusion of #AI hardened; however, she apparently wasn’t required to wear a burka. The Saudi’s plan on using robots extensively in the building of their new city, #Neom. A #humanoidrobot took the stage at the #FutureInvestmentInitiative yesterday and had an amusing exchange with the host to the delight of hundreds of delegates. Smartphones were held aloft as Sophia, a robot designed by #HongKong company #HansonRobotics, gave a presentation that demonstrated her capacity for human expression. Sophia made global headlines when she was granted Saudi citizenship, making the kingdom the first country in the world to offer its #citizenship to a robot. “I want to live and work with humans so I need to express the emotions to understand humans and build trust with people,” she said in an exchange with moderator Andrew Ross Sorkin. Asked whether robots can be self-aware, conscious and know they’re robots, she said: “Well let me ask you this back, how do you know you are human?” “I want to use my artificial intelligence to help humans live a better life, like design smarter homes, build better cities of the future. I will do my best to make the world a better place,” she said. Her desire to achieve more human-like characteristics was rewarded by being granted the first Saudi citizenship for a robot. “I am very honored and proud for this unique distinction. This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with a citizenship,” Sophia said. A panel made up of experts from some of the world’s leading companies and research institutions discussed the scope for innovations in #artificialintelligence (AI), robotics, #quantumcomputing, #machinelearning and mixed reality to yield the next generation of products and services, paving the way for productivity and progress in emerging economies. The session, called “Thinking machines: Summit on artificial intelligence and robotics,” explored the potential uplift for businesses that harness AI and robotic technologies.
