A robot that looks like a woman named "Sophia" is a robot that looks like a woman "Sophia", which was held in Saudi Arabia's capital · RiyadhFuture Investment InitiativeThose published in. You can see how Sofia is talking from the following movie.

Robot Sophia speaks at Saudi Arabia's Future Investment Initiative - YouTube


Sofia headquartered in Hong KongHanson RoboticsThe robot created by. Sophia said "I am proud that I got this unique exception, because it is the first time that robot was given citizenship in history, even in history."


Sophia is changing not only the movement of the mouth, but also muscles of expression, such as blinking, very delicate and constantly.


In Saudi Arabia there is a "guardian system" that allows men to dominate women over a wide range and women need permission from men who are guardians on various matters such as marriage, studies, employment and travel, and public places It is necessary for a male accompanying when heading for. However, Sofia does not need to cover the head with cloth, and there is no guardian, so it is said that the voice of doubt is raised as "Why?"


Some people post pictures of Sofia 's face black to reflect the current state of women in Saudi Arabia.


Also arguing is happening even if the viewpoint of women in Saudi Arabia is excluded. In the Middle East, "Kafara system" which provides jobs to foreign workers and picks up passports instead of supplying visas is a problem. Kafara is said to be a "modern slavery system", and employers will not be able to return to their home countries as employers will control employers. Journalist Murtaza Hussain pointed out that the robot gained citizenship before the situation that the cafes had to live a whole life in this country was improved.


The Gulf countries are supported by foreign workers, but there are also black market by immigrants who fled from employers but can not return to the country. In the presence of many people who can not obtain citizenship in the country, the situation that the robot in the form of human beings got citizenship quickly reflected as a very contradictory thing for many people.

In addition, when asked about Sophia at "Future Investment Initiative" a question about "a bad future caused by a robot", Sophia said "You are reading too much book of Earon mask, and you are watching Hollywood movies too much Even if you do not worry, as long as you are kind to me, I am kind to you, please treat me as very clever against output / input. "


Of course, Mr. Mask can not be responsive to this situation, and on Twitter "movie"GodfatherPlease do input to the robot with feeling like. As the worst, what will happen? I posted it.
