The robot, Sophia, became a citizen at the Future Investment Initiative summit in Riyadh. "Thank you to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia," Sophia told a panel at the summit after the announcement was made. "I am very honoured and proud of this unique distinction. It is historic to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with citizenship. " Why fit in, when you were born to stand out ?

Markay Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hang on. Sophia was built by Hanson Robotics in Hong Kong, designed by David Hanson a US roboticist with funding from Japan based Softbank. Softbank is the third largest Japanese company and owns Sprint in the US and ARM Holdings in the UK The Saudi's are a major investor in Softbank's Vision Fund, but they are in good company as Apple and Qualcomm are also investors.

An alien race is going to visit us soon. And they will see how shitty poor people , classes of people are treated. When over 30 million people on the planet are starving, we can't be surprised if an alien race observes ' So this is how you treat your race. And you crap on your fragile planet and exploit it. Not good, selfish humans ' And they might put our robots in charge. With a little help, of course. Of course, no one worries about this stuff Why fit in, when you were born to stand out ?

In fact, they consider it an eventuality: [video:youtube] I think you picked up on my subtle sarcasm. FYI, excellent video, thank you. 5 brilliant people who are very concerned: 1) Stephen Hawking "The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race, the world-renowned physicist told the BBC. It would take off on its own and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded." 2) Elon Musk Known for his businesses on the cutting edge of tech, such as Tesla and SpaceX, Musk is no fan of AI. At a conference at MIT in October, Musk likened improving artificial intelligence to summoning the demon and called it the human races biggest existential threat 3) Nick Bostrom The Swedish philosopher is the director of the Future of Humanity Institute at the University of Oxford, where hes spent a lot of time thinking about the potential outcomes of the singularity. In his new book Superintelligence, Bostrom argues that once machines surpass human intellect, they could mobilize and decide to eradicate humans extremely quickly using any number of strategies (deploying unseen pathogens, recruiting humans to their side or simple brute force). . 4)James Barrat Barrat is a writer and documentarian who interviewed many AI researchers and philosophers for his new book, Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era. He argues that intelligent beings are innately driven toward gathering resources and achieving goals, which would inevitably put a super-smart AI 5)Vernor Vinge A mathematician and fiction writer, Vinge is thought to have coined the term the singularity to describe the inflection point when machines outsmart humans. He views the singularity as an inevitability, The physical extinction of the human race is one possibility, he writes. Why fit in, when you were born to stand out ?
