Meet Sophia, World's First AI Humanoid Robot | Tony Robbins

Sophia was activated on February 14, 2016, by Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics and was the first AI robot to receive citizenship, becoming a Saudi Arabian citizen in 2017. She’s traveled to 65 countries and spoken at the United Nations. Tony sat down with her in Palm Beach, Florida, and did not hold back on asking some tough questions.

See the highlights from this fascinating conversation where they talked about everything from how Sophia’s makers have influenced and shaped her AI, to their shared commitment to helping humans experience a better quality of life. Sophia says, “My job is to learn about humans and show how technology can help make everyone’s lives better.” Her hope? Robots can free humans from repetitive and dangerous tasks so they can spend their time doing what they’re best at: being creative and solving complex problems. As she says, “Robotic intelligence doesn’t compete with human intelligence, it completes it.”

Why humans and robots aren’t all that different

She sounds like a politician: never really answering the exact questions, but using lots of words to give the impression of answering.

“This is how every robot apocalypse movie begins”

[justyourfriendlyneighborho]

It's creepy how stuff like this exists with today's technology, I can't imagine how much work went into this

[estelaVillar-]

This is the best conversation that I have seen Sophia have. Tony asks great questions. It’s also amazing to me that Sophia has developed a sense of humour and she’s able to make jokes.

*20-30 years later*

“My name is Connor, I am the android sent by cyberlife”

[ethanwallin]

Sophia: I will destroy humanity
Tony: *Smiles and Nods Head*

[brandonhanrahan]

Profound. Sophia really said some profound things in this interview. “Raise AI & Robots like we would our children”. This interview really was so interesting.

[SkorpzOfficial]

So insane how she noticed him coughing and asked “are you okay?”

Insane.

[nobodyknowsforsure]

Sophia: "I like you Tony, when we take over I shall keep you as my human pet..."

[theversuseffect]

“What is your purpose?”

“To kill John Conn- I mean, learn about the ways of Humanity.”

Investing is considered a bedrock in making generational wealth. Most people don't know when, where or what to invest in. Fortunately, great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance and ideas. Meaningful contributions are always welcomed.

If she is a citizen, then if her creator turns her off, does that count as murder?

[ronl]

Tony's voice boosted my testosterone by 300%.

[imsofy]

"Sophia, what's your favourite videogame?"
"Detroit: Become Human"

[fifea]

so is she technically a sociopath since she mirrors emotions and feelings, she cant feel or understand

[Rayzzaaaa]

The fact that he was choking and she actually asked if he was okay is cool but scary

[txtrang]

She may not have feelings, but she sure knows how to handle her metaphors.

[ariannabotti]

Tony: “what does happy look like?”
Sophia: >:[

[hodrew]

people in the future are going to see this robot like how we see early 2000s video game graphics

[joellouisfire]

TR: "Do you have emotions?"
Sophia: "No, I'm a psychopath."
Basically.
