Interview With The Lifelike Hot Robot Named Sophia | CNBC

[gpcaraudio]

People need to be more worried about the creepo that put "hot robot" in the video title.

[federalbureauofinvestigati]

People will return to this video after 40 years and they will cry.

[LEELOLKH]

One days future people will ask why wouldn’t we stop that at that time?

[Maya-yzrs]

I've never seen any woman being so happy for getting Saudi citizenship.

[citro]

Saudi Arabia, first country that gave bigger rights to robots, than to women.

[DracoPadilla]

Notice how the laughter completely dies out after awhile from the crowd and the interviewer. They started feeling uneasy at the answers. Some of the answers were terrifying.

[danieltorresjr.]

“How do you know you’re human?” Yup. The future is going to be like BladeRunner....

[mainstreetbully]

“ Humans are smart and programmable” let that sink in.

"IF you're nice to me THEN I'll be nice to you " boom

[KelticTim]

Is she really an “AI Robot” when she has to receive any questions before hand, and travels with a team that operates her? Sounds more like a wireless marionette to me.

[jothiU]

"To make the world a better place." every project proposal have this standard line.

[squareshorts]

Scary.. "Be nice to me then i'll be nice to you" that sounds like a threat

[gaming.]

Am a 13 year old and I fear my future to become worse with humanoid robot like Sofia .
She even threatened the man to harm him if he was not good to her.
And this seems really disappointing that we humans don't understand that a robot can't be fed with the heartful feelings of compassion, empathy and I sarcastically believe that it's ruining my future where these bots will control us like how mobile is controling us .
I am gonna abandon the frequent moblie addiction and try to save my future.

Stay safe and healthy ❤️

I think the "you be nice to me and i will be nice to you" comment was intended to be a joke. However, once again, because of the inability of robotic voices to variate inflection, tone, facial expression, sarcasm, and all the little nuances we add when we are wanting to be funny are missing. Much like texting, it's taken humans 25 years to learn text language. Take away emojis and other hints of meaning and all hell breaks loose. Sophia is just not there yet. Proof is look at all the see how paranoid people are about it because of the manufactured human component.

[tellitlikeitis]

She always keeps it real until she gets too real...

[isehaji]

"I know humans are smart and *very programmable*"

[oajjajajaj]

It creeps me out but at the same time, it also impresses me.

[vitatoko]

"Lifelike *HOT* robot" cnbc got a weird fettish or something

[marknielsbeats]

I don't know if this is genius or a madmans work, but if she becomes self aware, that's it

[TrendingInsightHub]

Sophia represents a remarkable achievement in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence. Her lifelike appearance and ability to hold conversations have pushed the boundaries of what we thought was possible.
