It seems the Saudis have granted citizenship to Sophia, an android built by Hanson Robotics. Sophia took the stage at an investment initiative in the Saudi capital, Ryadh, to accept the distinction, unchaperoned and with her head uncovered. It looks as though android Sophia has already gained more freedoms than the country’s real women.

Whenever you post the average IQ of the forum drops alarmingly, not even Dickmaster can quite match that.

I'll just park this here...

Be careful what you wish for.

As Dr Malcolm once observed:
"Well yeah, 'Ooh, aah' - that's how it always starts. But later there's running...and screaming."

We’re not quite at this point yet but this seems completely plausible with today’s technology and the implications are quite chilling when it comes to autonomous robots:

This makes Terminator look tame by comparison. Unfortunately so much cash and time has been invested in AI it's probably too late to prevent the eventual development of autonomous military killbots.

How do they actually think for themselves ?

those lifelike human robots on channel 4 last night were pretty freaky

Been watching that show for a few weeks now, where the robots are brought on to sing and dance, and the judges judge how good they were. Think its called x-factor?

They look right, and sound almost right, but still needs a bit of development to reach the level of real, talented, human musicians.

Yep, it's the thin end of the wedge......should humanity decide to take 'the wrong fork in the road.'

Presumably, they'd be able to give the ultimate in furious handjobs.

Wouldn't mind one like the Chinese girl in Humans

She's British. Albeit born of parents of Hong Kong (father) and Chinese (mother) descent.

But we get you're coming from.

Jack Whitehall... Lucky *******!

Can't see how he got his hands on her - bit of a mismatch I'd have thought!

Fame, celebrity and money gets you everywhere.

Girls are suckers for the pursuit of lifelong 'head insurance'. Just look at Meghan Markle.

stilover

She's stooped really low though. Having to get knobbed by a Ginger Bollox every other day.

The pursuit of 'living the life of luxury' trumps EVERYTHING, as far as females are concerned.

Back to the killer drones, you'd be pretty f@cked if you had an evil twin

Does seem an inbuilt lazy gene in women.lol. How about get a job suppose they are a form of hooker

Anyway! Amazing how many sci fi films have been bang on the money. Still reckon Terminator was not far off
