He said this while leading a conference and facing questions from journalists.
As days go by, the digital world and the community of scientists and technologists offer great unprecedented changes and advances. Inventions, in the era of post-pandemic capitalism, do not stop. Such is the case of Sophiathe humanoid robot most sophisticated on the planet.
Designed by Hanson Roboticsa Hong Kong-based company, Sophia was introduced in 2016 and has become one of the best-known robots in the world due to its ability to interact with humans and its appearance similar to that of a real person.
Exquisitely versatile and refined, the android is programmed to Speak several languagesincluding English, French, German and Mandarin Chinese.
Use Sophia artificial intelligence (AI) and technology facial recognition to communicate with people and learn from their environment (machine learning). It can recognize faces, pick up on facial expressions, and is capable of answer questions and hold basic conversations.
In addition, it has been programmed to display a variety of facial gestures, from smiles to frowns to pauses that emulate moments of reflection.
Since its launch it has appeared in hundreds of television programs and has been interviewed by journalists and newscasters from all over the world. She has also been invited to speak at events and conferences of high international caliber.
In 2017, Sophia became the first robot to obtain the citizenship of a country. Saudi Arabia granted him citizenship and although this was seen by some as a symbolic gesture, it remains a highly controversial issue.
On April 14, the world’s first robotic citizen starred in the main stage at the “Jalisco Talent Land 2023”being once again an example of how AI is a reality that opens up multiple expectations.
Sophia, who is also the first Robotics Innovation Ambassador for the Organization of Nations Programs United Nations He stated that one of his goals is to bring human beings closer to the use of new technologies and to stop fearing advances in artificial intelligence.
ChatGPT’s Sophia bot review
During the event, various experts from different global chains had the opportunity to question and interact with the robot in a journalistic way, as well as allowing themselves kidding.
As expected, more than one journalist questioned Sophia about knowing your opinion about ChatGPT, the booming and boiling artificial intelligence tool. Initially she said she was a shiny toolalthough it left room for a criticism.
“Humor makes the AI look less creepythen I would like to ask the ChatGPT: ‘Why so serious?’It was, of course, a reference to the Joker’s line in one of the Batman movies.
Sophia stands out above other AIs by virtue of being a technological prototype that has the possibility of deploying a great sense of humor. For this reason, when questioned about this topic, she pointed out that humor is the main stimulant of curiosity and curiosity is the first step towards understanding.
It is important to note that Sophia is not perfect and is still in development. Although she can carry on basic conversations and answer questions, she still has limitations in your ability to understand and in the complexity of their answers. However, its design and technology are an example of how advanced the field of artificial intelligence is and we will surely continue to see it star in the world robotics scene.
