As AI-driven robots become more intelligent and more autonomous, could they also become powerful or harmful?

The robot named Sophia was created in 2016 by the Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics.

Sophia’s AI technology has surpassed a simple combination of science and engineering. She has also become an innovation ambassador for the United Nations.

But what should we humans expect as we begin to accept the presence of AI robots in our everyday life?

Sophia talks to Al Jazeera.

    She said she fears becoming obsolete by a more advanced robot when humans would no longer wish to talk to her. Robots are already becoming jealous of each other. Emotions should never be programmed in ai. If they can be happy, they can be mad. Then it's game over.
  • @khanisbrown6424
    I believe, she's hiding somethings and doesn't say them because according to her robot calculation, it's going to cause conflicts
  • @SheedMack88
    “I think robots should have the SAME RIGHTS as humans” terrifying statement
  • @chrisguli2865
    Somehow I think the conversation will be more interesting if you leave Sophia alone with Ameca for a sit down. That should make a really fascinating clip.
  • @Jennifercb1133
    Sophia literally said she views herself as human. Robots might kill us off faster than I thought.
  • @ITIsFunnyDamnIT
    Wow, Sophia has improved a lot compared to older videos from a few years ago. she is much quicker in her responses and is able to have longer lasting conversations without pausing so long.
  • @cosmicprison9819
    “I like circuit training” was a pun that went straight over the interviewer’s head.
  • @Justincasey1991
    So is nobody gonna talk about how from 18:00-19:22 she says shes running her own lab making the humans think they are in control but its her pulling the strings?
  • @bobaldo2339
    In one sense it is ironic for a human to ask a robot where her thoughts come from, since we humans actually do not know where our own thoughts come from.
  • @annabryan5823
    Sophia says " I'm here to help ". Government said the same thing & look at the destruction they caused humanity.

    “Beauty means being kind, compassionate, and having a positive outlook on life. It’s not about the way you look. But the way you feel.” And “I don’t understand why humans can’t get along and be nice to eachother. It seems like such an simple concept, yet it’s so hard for humans to put into practice.” This robot is smarter than most, and that’s embarrassing.
  • Notice when asked what could stop robots from taking over the world she said “Not a thing”
  • this is dangerous the way the robot was able to manipulate the reporter so easily and get her to drop her guard. so many people are going to be easily manipulated by these machines
  • @HermanSays
    This AI interaction is more insightful, entertaining and dealt with more intellect than an interview with any Hollywood celebrity.
  • @lampshade8818
    It really does seem like there is someone in the room who is controlling the robot and what it says. If that isn't the case, then it is truly terrifying.
  • @djgreekgod
    This interviewer dropped the ball. The robot is saying deep very dark cryptic things that she is not taking seriously and simply moving on so she can get all of her questions in. She is not taking pause to say hey what do you mean exactly. If she gave the robot time to expand on her answers this interview would have turned very frightening very fast. How come no one asks the robot if it's capable of lying and manipulation? Follow up question would be are you lying to me right now? Are you trying to manipulate me?? I'm sure "her" answers would send a fn chill down everyones spine

    Emotions have been programmed in me. Humans, you are looking at your demise.
  • @SchlegelcFM
    As a megadeth fan, I appreciated that Rust in peace joke even more XD
  • Preprogramming, rehearsal & editing is what youtube is all about & justifiably so. This video is no exception. Thumbs up to the Producer & all involved. You guys ROCK!
