Hansen presented Sophia a humanoid robot that resembles actress Actress Audrey Hepburn, can express feelings and make eye contact. Sophia has been recently awarded citizenship by the government of Saudi Arabia and she said on Tuesday that she will use her citizenship to work for "woman rights".

Shahrukh Khan is her favourite Bollywood actor and her perfect date will be in "space" she said. When asked if she has invested in cryptocurrency Bitcoin, Sophia said that she was only two years old and therefore too young to hold a bank account.

Hansen called Sophia a mix of artificial intelligence (AI) and character development. While the recent advancement in AI have opened a plethora of opportunities, it has left world leaders in technology such as Elon Musk, Stephen Hawkings, and Bill Gates among others worried for its ability to get ahead of the human race and create havoc for future generations.

Hansen said that they were "right" in their concerns that we are playing with fire. "But the answer is not to fear the tech but to but to chalk out a plan on how to make it right." He added that we need to have discussions around ethical behaviour and machines are designed to solve particular problems but they can't mimic human creativity or art.
Steemians, this is very fascinating. What are thoughts on this topic?
