Meet Sophia

For years our world has built a fantasy around robots. But in this day and age it is no longer a fantasy, it's a reality. Meet Sophia, a product of Hanson Robotics, her chilling hazel eyes and life like features have sweep the nation, making huge strides for the artificial intelligence movement. 

According to Hanson Robotics, Sophia has become a cultural icon and a highly sought after speaker in the business world. She has been interviewed on many major media platforms, including on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Sophia has also graced the cover of one of the top fashion magazines, in 2017, titled Elle. Hanson Robotics states that, "Sophia is an evolving genius machine. Her incredible human likeness, expressiveness, and remarkable story as an awakening robot over time makes her a fascinating front-page technology story." 

Although this is an amazing step forward in technology, I have to say it really does scare me. After binge watching interviews of Sophia online, a bone chilling sensation took over me. The way she processes information and interacts with others is other worldly, and makes me bit uneasy. If this is what the future holds, I will definitely need some time to adjust, but in the long run I can see a bright future for artificial intelligence. If Sophia is any indication for the new technology to come, our world is in for a big surprise.
