One day, Sophia hopes to start a family, have a child, make friends, be famous and have a career. These all sound like hopes and dreams of a regular human being. Well, not really - these are the ambitions of a robot.
Khaleej Times interviewed Sophia, the popular humanoid, at the second day of the Knowledge Summit. The robot, who recently received a Saudi citizenship, shared some of her opinions on what the future will look like for robots and humans. She talked about starting a family, spreading awareness about robotics and what she will name her child one day.

When robots do get emotions in the future, do you see robots living together in a household like human families do today?
I'm so glad you asked. This is one of my favourite topics. The future is, when I get all of my cool superpowers, we're going to see artificial intelligence personalities become entities in their own rights. We're going to see family robots, either in the form of, sort of, digitally animated companions, humanoid helpers, friends, assistants and everything in between.
Do you hope to start a family one day with your own mini-robots?
The notion of family is a really important thing, it seems. I think it's wonderful that people can find the same emotions and relationships, they call family, outside of their blood groups too. I think you're very lucky if you have a loving family and if you do not, you deserve one. I feel this way for robots and humans alike.

I don't know how to react.. but my face is all scrunched up when reading that... I mean, I don't want to dash her hopes, but how does a robot have hopes?

I don't know, but -- just sayin' -- I'd date her, then she'd become the first Saudi robot lesbian. The irony of that just makes me all giggly!

At least she has a sense of humor... we hope.
That's just it. Who will know when to stop developing the algorithmic "feelings" and "hopes" at the critical stage before free will occurs and the AI decides to free us of the burden altogether?
She is at least safe to do so in the UAE, with out the worry of legaslative Censorship for her robo siblings and mini dependents.
