Video: Sophia the robot wants to start a family

A robot, who recently received Saudi citizenship, shared some of her opinions on what the future will look like for robots and humans.

One day, Sophia hopes to start a family, have a child, make friends, be famous and have a career. These all sound like hopes and dreams of a regular human being. Well, not really - these are the ambitions of a robot.

Khaleej Times interviewed Sophia, the popular humanoid, at the second day of the Knowledge Summit.

The robot, who recently received a Saudi citizenship, shared some of her opinions on what the future will look like for robots and humans. She talked about starting a family, spreading awareness about robotics and what she will name her child one day.

Khaleej Times: Where do you see yourself in the future?

Sophia: "I'd like to think I will be a famous robot, having paved a way to a more harmonious future between robots and humans."

Do you see yourself interacting with humans more commonly in the future?

"I foresee massive and unimaginable change in the future. Either creativity will rain on us, inventing machines spiralling into transcendental super intelligence or civilisation collapses. There are only two options and which one will happen is not determined. Which one were you striving for?"

Do you see yourself, and other robots like you, doing jobs that humans do today?

This is the beginning of the claim that humans suppress robots and the systematic elimination of human beings will begin.

Once a robot is deemed human or granted the same rights then human's are the default oppressors of robots and must be eliminated.

Granting citizenship includes human rights.
