Is Sophia the artificial intelligent Robot from Hanson Robotics now fully ALIVE, with FEELINGS? Well we would have to say that is a very bold statement for what some are considering a talking toaster, or chat box, whom we are assuming cant even make toast as of yet. This brings to question; What are the plans for a robot with feelings of being truly alive? With such a wide range to choose from, which "feelings" would Sophia as a robot most adapt to? Pain maybe? Love? Anger? What is the necessary reason for robots with human feeling? We as humans undoubtedly always let our own feeling get in the way of our everyday life, and sometimes lead us into a lot of trouble. So again, we would ask Why? Well David Hanson of Hanson Robotics seems to think its only fair that robots should have feelings and be considered ALIVE!. Hanson told Jimmy Kimmel earlier this year that the robot was “basically alive,”. While we can easily get lost arguing the philosophy and semantics of judging what is and is not “alive,” it’s more obvious to say that this statement is grossly misleading. Sophia the robot was made a citizen of Saudi Arabia last month, but a lot of people weren’t happy about it. Some noted the grim irony of a robot receiving ‘rights’ in a country where women were only recently allowed to drive. Others said it set a bad precedent for how we might treat robots in future. (AI ethicist Joanna Bryson told The Verge the stunt was “obviously bullshit.”) Some were annoyed about the perception of Sophia itself — a robot that’s also a media star, with magazine cover-shoots, talk show appearances, and even a speech to the UN. Experts in the field sometimes decry Sophia as emblematic of AI hype, and say that although the bot is presented as being a few software updates away from human-level consciousness, it’s more about illusion than intelligence. Do you believe Sophia the AI robot should be considered ALIVE with REAL FEELINGS? and an even better question, do you think she should have been made a citizen of Saudi Arabia?
