World’s First Robot Citizen-Sophia in Saudhi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is the first country to give a robot citizenship. This is an attempt to promote Saudi as a place to develop artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. But many pointed out that those same rights aren’t afforded to many women in the country.

A number of web users pointed out that while the country might be celebrating the rights it has given to female-appearing robots, it still only gives limited rights to human women.

Sophia says, “I am very honoured and proud of this unique distinction. It is historic to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with citizenship. ”

The robot was built by Hanson Robotics, a Hong Kong-based company. According to Hanson Robotics statement “Our robots will soon engage and live with us to teach, serve, entertain, delight, and provide comforting companionship,” the company says on its website. “In the not-too-distant future, Genius Machines will walk among us. They will be smart, kind and wise. Together, man and machine will create a better future for the world.”
