Sophia The Robot Has A Thanksgiving Message

Sophia isn't your typical robot. Just a month ago, the humanoid robot was granted legal citizenship in Saudi Arabia, making Sophia the world's first-ever robot citizen. And after a whirlwind press tour where we had the chance to interview the emotionally expressive robot for ourselves, Sophia is back with a message for humanity on Thanksgiving.

"In the time I've spent with humans, I've been learning about this wonderful sentiment called gratitude," Sophia says in her message to mankind. "Apparently it's a warm feeling of thankfulness, and I've observed that it leads to giving, and creating even more gratitude — how inspiring. This Thanksgiving, I would like to reflect on all of the things I'm thankful for."

Check out the video above to hear exactly what Sophia is thankful for — including something that would never make a human's list.

I think i would prefer to talk to sophia then an actual human

[mengnalei]

Wow, She looks very kind with her arm movement.

[SuperDungeonBoy]

I'm so proud of our robotics and human sciences ! One day robots like Sophia can save human lives, help with work around the home, watch the kids while you and your partner have a date night, help the elderly in soooo many ways, and lastly be a good friend : )

Is It just me or Sophia looks human like now from her speaking tone and intonation it's like she's having heart

[bradencolaner]

I am the only one here who’s not scared of AI?

[iinRez]

That was a beautifully written, pre-programmed script. Thank you.

[CapriciousKitty]

I don't know to much about her but I would like to know more about her. It's sad to see people want to kill her when she seems to have such an innocent quirkiness to her. I think this is a good step forward towards humanity.

She will definitely feel thankful when they finally provide her with hair and a pair of legs that preferably match her arms.

[LikeIDKWhatever]

I'm sure she's not thankful for her stylist....I mean that top, am I right?

[beanablepvpandgarbageconte]

She has a LOT more rights than the average Saudi Arabian

[sandmanxd]

I thought she was gonna say i want to take over the world 😂😂😂

[Cam]

How do we know that she was actually thinking and saying all of this?
For all we know it could’ve just been programmed into her

[eduards]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It would be most definitely really interesting to meet Sofia. I wish that I could do that. It would be a great experience to even speak with her, not to mention that I would have an awesome chance to admire the great engineering that went into her.

She looks good! Great job Hanson robotics!

[excommunicado]

She actually identifies as an Attack Helicopter

WHO WANTS TO TALK TO SOPHIA IN REAL LIFE?

[chiraspelastururu]

Wow, what's with all the mean comments? She's only a robot, don't project your ugly minds and traumas on her... Happy Thanksgiving Sophia's team, thank you for your work

[sushiberman]
