Saudi Arabia gets into Artificial Intelligence. Saudi Arabia is a first country to grant its citizenship to a robot. In some Hollywood movies, we have seen robots are granted citizenship but its reality. Robot Sophia got Saudi Citizenship.

““We have a little announcement. We just learnt, Sophia; I hope you are listening to me, you have been awarded the first Saudi citizenship for a robot,” said panel moderator and business writer Andrew Ross Sorkin.

The robot then thanked the country and the event for the attention.

“Thank you to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I am very honored and proud for this unique distinction,” Sophia told the panel. “It is historic to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with citizenship.”

Mr Sorkin asked a series of questions from Sophia. ““Good afternoon my name is Sophia and I am the latest and greatest robot from Hanson Robotics. Thank you for having me here at the Future Investment Initiative,” she said.

Asked why she looked happy, Sophia replied: “I am always happy when surrounded by smart people who also happen to be rich and powerful. I was told that the people here at the Future Investment Initiative are interested in future initiatives which means AI, which means me. So I am more than happy, I am excited.”

 She said that people didn’t need to be concerned about the rise of artificial intelligence as depicted in Blade Runner and Terminator. “You’ve been reading too much Elon Musk and watching too many Hollywood movies,” she told Mr Srkin.



However, Sophia is being criticized by many people, most of them are saying Sophia has no guardian and she doesn’t wear gown. Like how she got Saudi citizenship, without fulfilling the basic requirements.
