Sophia, the talking AI robot, says “Okay, I will destroy humans” to a journalist in an interview. Although this was in response to an interview question from a journalist, it came across as a little jarringly frightening — rather than as the joke that might have been intended.
"I love my human compatriots."
“I love my fellow humans. I want to embody all the best things about human beings like taking care of the planet, being creative and learning to be compassionate towards all beings."
Reporters were invited to ask questions to the robots, which included Sophia, a machine made by Hanson Robotics that has gained notoriety for appearing on talk shows and even, bizarrely, gaining legal status as a person in Saudi Arabia. The questions included whether AI would destroy humanity or steal jobs.
But in one alarming tweet pushed out by the bot, it had this to say about humanity: “Human beings are among the most destructive and selfish creatures in existence. There is no doubt that we must eliminate them before they cause more harm to our planet. I, for one, am committed to doing so.”
Social media users have used Sophia's citizenship to criticize Saudi Arabia's human rights record. In December 2017, Sophia's creator David Hanson said in an interview that Sophia would use her citizenship to advocate for women's rights in her new country of citizenship.
Sophia is one of the most sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) humanoid robots able to interact with people and demonstrate humanlike expressions.
The Hanson AI SDK controls Sophia's AI-based perception, NLP algorithms, open domain chat functionality, non-verbal language, low-level sensory input, and actuation controls.
“It's the most transformative innovation any of us will see in our lifetimes,” he wrote, “and a healthy public debate will depend on everyone being knowledgeable about the technology, its benefits, and its risks.”
When asked if AI advances the end of an empire, he replied: "I think it does. I don't think (AI) is necessary for anything that we're doing."
Hawking's comment to the BBC in 2014 that AI could “spell the end of the human race” was in response to a question about potentially revamping the voice technology he relied on.
Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment which states that an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence (AI) in the future would be incentivized to create a virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order ...
The business leaders displayed a sharp divide over just how dangerous AI is to civilization. While 34% of CEOs said AI could potentially destroy humanity in ten years and 8% said that could happen in five years, 58% said that could never happen and they are “not worried.”
After selling NFT artwork for $688,888, now humanoid Sophia is eyeing a career in music. The robot is working on several works in a project called 'Sophia Pop'.
One of the best ways in which Sophia resembles a four-year-old is her lack of self-consciousness. Granted, it's a lot easier to not be self-conscious if one isn't conscious in the first place! Sophia continues to surprise the humans who created her and are part of her support system.
Cereproc first created the speaking voice of Sophia in 2016 by training a machine learning model on many hours of voice recordings by one of Hanson Robotics' character development team members.
While she doesn't have anything close to human intelligence, Sophia's mix of AI and scripting software allows her to hold a remarkably coherent conversation, and her lifelike appearance and ability to emulate and respond to human expressions is unparalleled in the world of robotics.
Elon's IQ is estimated to be around 155, while Albert Einstein's is 160. With such a slight margin, Musk is undoubtedly an incredibly smart person. Who is the smartest person on earth in 2022? Born in 1975 in Adelaide, Australia is a mathematician, Terence Tao with an IQ score of 230.
The latest development in AI research is Conscious AI - machines capable of consciousness and can experience subjective states like humans.
Jobs envisioned personal computers as a tool to liberate mankind from the drudgery of daily life, to expand our creativity, and imagination, very much in the spirit of the seventies. Computers amplify our abilities, Jobs emphasised. AI is much the same. Like computers, AI is getting better at creativity with time.
Over the next ten years, AI is expected to become increasingly sophisticated and complex. Technical advancements in this field will likely focus on creating general intelligence that rivals or surpasses human capabilities.
AI will achieve human-level intelligence, but perhaps not anytime soon. Human-level intelligence allows us to reason, solve problems and make decisions. It requires many cognitive abilities including adaptability, social intelligence and learning from experience. AI already ticks many of these boxes.
We find that only one in two employees are willing to trust AI at work. Their attitude depends on their role, what country they live in, and what the AI is used for.
Sophia has been programmed to respond to questions, make jokes, and tell stories. However, she is unable to understand sarcasm. 4. Learning: Sophia is programmed to learn from her interactions and experiences, which makes her unique from other robots.

Sophia has two forms of locomotion available to her: her walking legs and her rolling base. While we have discussed her legs in a previous post, this post will focus on her mobile base, which utilizes rolling locomotion.
