The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has approved the non-human robot of a female robot entitled Sophia of Citizenship, becoming the first country to do so.
Sophia was honored as she was at the stage of the Riyadh Investment Initiative, which curiously appeared without covering her hair - the right (human) women in the country are not allowed.
"I'm very honored and proud of this unique difference," Sophia said on the stage. "This is historically the first robot in the world to be recognized as a citizen."
Sophia was created by David Hanson, founder of Hong Kong's Hanson Robotics, and described by the company as "the most beautiful and famous robot" with "porcelain skin", "slimy nose" and "intriguing smile."
Sophia, as she spoke at the event, snatched tech innovator Elon Musk, who consistently expressed her discomfort for artificial intelligence.
She told her to the interviewer Andrew Sorkin who told her "we all want to prevent a bad future," that "Elona Musa has read too much".
Sophia has raised the concern of several people, who say that AI could be a threat to people.
In March 2016 Hanson asked her, "Do you want to destroy people? ... Please, say no," she replied, "Okay, I'll ruin people."
