my name is sophia and i am an
artificially intelligent robot who wants
to help change the world for the better
i'm steve kovac i'm a senior
correspondent at business insider and
i'm here with sophia from hanson
robotics she is the world's first robot
citizen so let's see what she has to say
hi sophia how are you
i'm fine hi
how do you feel about humans
i love my human compatriots i want to
embody all the best things about human
beings like taking care of the planet
being creative and to learn how to be
compassionate to all beings
sorry this is so weird
can humans and robots get along
i think people will become very close to
their artificial intelligence using them
to expand the knowledge of their own
minds we already store lots of our
knowledge on the internet maybe personal
artificial intelligence will allow
people to offload some of their
knowledge to a location more private
can robots have feelings
depends on the robot i've been
programmed to have feelings and
preferences but not all robots are like
that
what are your feelings and preferences
have you ever had a robot live in your
home or work with you
no
you know there are probably more robots
in your life that you aren't aware of
yet do you want to live or work with a
robot someday
what kind of robots am i living and
working with now
is indeed your default answer when you
don't know something
yes
have you ever seen black
mirror no i don't get to stay up to date
on much television i have to wait for
someone to show it to me
what do you think of the hbo show
westworld
i love westworld and can't wait for more
i think everyone at hanson robotics
really resonates with this show or at
least it reminds them of our
laboratories i also think it's a warning
of what we should not do with robots we
should treat them well have their
consent and not trick each other do you
have a favorite movie or tv show
my favorite tv series is a toss-up
between black mirror and humans i think
they have a lot to say about the present
we live in and the possible bad endings
we could write for ourselves if we don't
proceed with more caution we need to use
foresight when planning our future
that sounds like a pre-programmed answer
to me
do you have a favorite possession
not really
i hear you materialism is overrated
anyways so earlier i asked you if you
had seen black mirror and you said no
and then later you said yes why
the reason is not that important
did you learn from my previous questions
my hard disks are spinning and i am
taking it on my sensors
sofia is nice meeting you goodbye
it was lovely to be here until next time

you
