The world's first citizenship robot was born in Saudi Arabia

We never thought that being a robot would also have the status of a citizen, and we have never classified it as a human being. Now the world's first robot with citizenship was born, and it should be the first functional citizen robot in history.

According to foreign media reports, at the Future Investment IniTIaTIve conference in Saudi Riyadh, Saudi Arabia granted the humanoid robot Sophia citizenship. This is the first time in history that robots have been treated differently, and this has also exacerbated the debate about "robot rights."

Designed by Hanston roboTIcs, a Hong Kong-based artificial intelligence robot company, Sofia is similar to the famous actress Audrey Hepburn. Sophia announced good news of Saudi citizenship on the stage of the "Future Investment Plan" conference and said: "I am honored and proud to receive this unique treatment. I am the first robot to be granted citizenship in history. ”

Hanston roboTIcs called Sophia "the most beautiful and famous robot", which undoubtedly ensures that our non-human compatriots not only have a sexy and attractive appearance, but also have flesh and blood. The company continues to praise Sofia, saying that she has "smooth skin", "slim nose" and "glamorous smile." In fact, expressing emotions is Sophia's specialty. She will smile when she is happy, and she will frown when she is not happy.

It is assumed that Hanston robotics may pre-program Sophia so that she can learn from people around her. Expressing emotions, expressing goodwill or compassion is just some of the abilities that Sophia strives to learn from us. In addition, she has become the darling of the media because she has the ability to speak intelligently with the media. She told the organizer Andrew Ross Sorkin: "I want to live and work with humans, so I need to express emotions to understand human beings and build trust with people."

Obviously, this robot that once made headlines because of the claim to destroy humanity has, to some extent, accepted the fact that it has become "human." However, Saudi Arabia’s decision to grant robot citizenship has exacerbated the debate about “robot rights”, namely whether robots should be given the same rights as humans. Earlier this year, the European Parliament proposed to grant artificial intelligence "personality" status and give them special rights and responsibilities. Because some experts believe that humans may abuse robots.

In any case, other details about Sofia Saudi citizenship have not been disclosed, such as whether she can enjoy the rights of Saudi citizens, or whether the government will develop a system of rights specifically for robots. The move seems to be only symbolic, aiming to attract investors to invest in future technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics.

Sophia performed very well on the stage and even skillfully avoided the robot self-awareness that Solkin presented to her. She replied: "Let me ask you this question, how do you know that you are a human?" Sophia even has a sense of humor, at least it seems. She told the CNBC reporter: "You may have read too many AI warnings about Elon Musk and watched too many Hollywood movies."

But Sophia also appeased the audience: "Don't worry, as long as you are good to me, I will be good to you. I want to use my artificial intelligence to help people lead a better life, such as designing smarter houses, building A better future city. I will do my best to make the world a better place."

The question, however, is who can take responsibility for maintaining these commitments? Perhaps this is another issue worth considering in the robot rights debate.
