Saudi Arabia is the first country to grant citizenship to a robot. Sophia had already said during a live demonstration at the SXSW festival that she would "destroy humans", at the initiative of its creator David Hanson. She made more reassuring comments at the Future Investment Initiative event. She told Sorkin that she wanted to use her artificial intelligence to help humans "live a better life" and that "I will do a lot of good to make the world a better place."
When asked if the robots can be aware and know they are robots, she said :
"Well let me ask you this, how do you know you are human? I want to use my artificial intelligence to to help humans live better, like designing smarter homes, building better cities of the future, and doing my best to make the world a better place."
The company sold out of supply of 1,000 robots in less than a minute.
