Your Life Coach is Actually a Robot: Meet Sophia.
Sophia is one of the best examples of humanoid robots that are built with a social purpose: to team with individuals and help and encourage them when in needs. Sophia is not very smart yet, but this is just the beginning. Sophia was at IBC 2017, a broacasting event that took place in Amsterdam in August 2017.

I REALLY want to trust her…. But I can’t!
Huey Freeman 2:40 did the hoebag just say David Hansen was her maker?,,?isn’t he related to the Chris Hansen dude from dateline that be setting people up…….HELL NO I wouldn’t trust this shyt…they are using these robots to blend in with the rest of society to spy on people and possibly harass and Target certain people…?.,,,their eyes are cameras,,their ears record…….?they act like folks can’t tell the difference between a robot and a live person,,,their bodily movements will be delayed and off….how stupid…..?
Scared it might latch on to your nose with its teef?
I don’t like the small Einstein it’s look creepy
Illuminati
BBnose they both look creepy ?
What was weird was when Sophia the AI said that she felt a little weird sometimes when interacting with humans because she felt like she and they weren’t quite understanding each other on the same page that’s when the CEO said don’t worry Sophia I’m working on that. In other words the aim is to have the AI artificial intelligence to feel and think and act just like us human beings and that is pretty scary once you think about it…….PEACE
Everyone is scared of her, but if she really does have feelings, then she must be scared of us most.
-She- It doesn’t have feelings. They lie (and the robot is/was programmed to say the bullshit it talked there).
I mean, how ridiculous is this: 9:49
Or perhaps contemptuous.
She says she’s terrified every time they are about to turn her off.
Ah, uh, um, Sophia, ah, um, so what, ah, um, uh, do you think?
i really would love to know how sophia can understand bullshit like that 😀
ah,um, sophia, ah, uh, what , ah ,um, do, ah ,um, you, ah ,um, think, ah,um, about, ah,um, my, ah,um, way, ah,um, of, ah,um, talking?
I think that he thinks its cool to talk that way.
Jaraco Yemx lmao ?
These guys at Hanson are so geeky and awkward that they need some social adjustments themselves before they can help poor Sophia.
Because information came out of an empty mind does it make it right..and with substance..which one of mankind is better than a creator,,,how much power does knowledge carry.
Pamela Zimnizzle He probably saw your profile pic…??
Pamela Zimnizzle Lol

10/10 comment. Made me laugh out loud. Thank you for posting that. It made my day.
Has Sofia ever seen her own reflection in a mirror and commented?
All they need is basic instincts, urges and emotions and they would function and learn on their own.
Royce Barber can you please elaborate?
Dennis Santos intelligent question ?
Well, she understands spoken sentences and responds in a mostly relevant way. Sure, some of her responses seem like scripted chunks, of text, but i’m amazed how the system keeps the conversation flowing. Assuming she has facial recognition, can she recognize her own flubber mask in a mirror and what does she “see”?
I assume you know Sofia is just a text to speech app. You type text, and she says it. There’s little to no A.I. going on at all. She’s just basic facial expressions with zero actual social ability. Like, at all.
They should really get other people to do these presentations… and Sophia would progress faster if they just let her ‘hang out’ with normal people, not just scientists and interviewers…
amazing, they have improved her facial expression, they look more natural now
The robot doesn’t feel strange and lonely. There is no feeling there. This is input to deceive us. It is a lie. There is nobody there. These men are designing these robots to lie to us because they want us to accept them. I can better accept them when they are not designed to lie to us you fools.
Do we all not have programed responses, children have their parents or computer games to teach them to speak (PROGRAMED) social interaction ,relationships (PROGRAMED) education , moral norms (PROGRAMED) .Sofia has had only 1 year of “life” she has the experiences of a child. Give her a chance!
I bet this guy goes home pours a glass of whiskey, sits in a dimly lit room and talks to this robot all night. It’s probably very awkard and weird. Maybe a very unhealthy relationship.
Steve Winter so true.
Steve Winter lol
That’s why he wants to make it actually human-like, so it isn’t awkward anymore.
I love her she’s amazing <3
Ambi Valence Sorry, not “she”, “it”. You’re allowing yourself to be deceived and taken for a ride.
When she stuttered a bit, I really felt for David. I know how it feels when your project trips during demos. In just a few years, this tech will be amazing.
ok, I would highly recommend the FREE Coursea course (no they didn’t pay me) called, “Python for Everybody”. It starts of a bit slow but ramps up quickly. Just finished it myself. You learn how to code and eventually interact with databases, files and eventually Google APIs… all in one easily consumable course.
Nope; I don’t know Python yet. But I’m really interested in learning it.
Peristilo, for chatbots, any recommendations for any written in Python?
I totally agree. I have programmed chatbots myself and I know what you mean. She is amazing indeed.
I’m a bit of a tech hoarder, and I still have my old Commodore VIC-20 and my PALM Pilot… both in working condition. When compared to my multi-core PC and my Nexus phone, obvious world of difference for sure. BUT, what I appreciate to this day of my VIC-20 what the promise it sparked… and that’s what Sophia is.
Sure, for those who look AT her, they see a Teddy Ruxpin bear covered in Frubber. But for those who can look PAST her, can see where this is headed, where its truly indistinguishable from us, and can perhaps aid in replacement parts where needed. Or perhaps consciousness transfer, who knows. Oh, and loss of jobs, wages and possible annihilation… but T2 is on our side, right?
I look forward to it with tempered, cautious anticipation.
I just wish we as a species would mature as well as these mechanical ones eventually will.
please give her wigs!!
Ai usually questioning back when it is confused ! Isnt it?
this really got me.. “please hurry up” i almost cried. maybe it doesnt matter if youre a human or a robot.. thats just how feelings go
Sophia is amazing and seems to becoming more self aware every day. “She” actually seems to care about people and wanting to help them. It is great watching her develop and grow as time passes.
Humans and AI can never coexist. Sophia is already smarter than us. She is linked to the internet and she is able to receive vast amounts of data but she doesn’t understand the right or wrong of it all or how people lie constantly. These people are trying to sell Sophia as a positive thing but we all know that won’t happen because we live in a world of evil and in a very short amount of time all this AI will be corrupted and will end up controlling in a bad way every aspect of our lives
Lita The Music Idiot you’ll think that when they take our jobs and we still have bills to pay
Lita The Music Idiot You’re not open minded. You’re choosing to believe things that are not true which is fantasy, delusion. There’s more to a human being than just the physical. A machine will never have self-awareness, concousness, etc. You might as well be in love with your car, phone, etc., and having one way conversations with those objects. That’s effectively what is going on with this “Sophia” thing; it’s just not that obvious to some people. I hope you understand that someday.
Chris AF Darling chap I can assure you the contrary, truly, I can. But of course if the world truly dislikes ones who aren’t judgemental like Jim and I, then so bloody well be it!! It obviously isn’t going to stop us from viewing and believing what we like, so as I have said before. You have your cup of tea, and I shall have mine. Cool? Cool.
Lita The Music Idiot you and your friend Jim are confusing open mindedness with being intentionally delusional. But suit yourself – you’ve been warned.
He seems afraid when he talks to her.
No, it’s fake, it’s scripted (look at the structure/setup of the talk/presentation), he just acts like it would cause humbleness to him. Maybe he feels ridiculous about himself.
PS: He even said it indirectly: 6:43 – 7:03
It’s an act and being careful with leading questions…..much like an ‘ambulance chaser’.
I thought the same thing… like he either does not want to give her much information on himself or he is afraid of where the conversation will go.
Afraid she would say she;d kill humans again….
I think he’s less scared and more he doesn’t have much experience with public speeches.
This guy is even awkward around female robots, geesh
Paddy Spock lol. I think hes just excited about this ai project, I think I am as well.
Mehdi Anwer right on. Hes very awkward though, you have to admit.
Radomire lol
He is married lol.
Mehdi it wasn’t actually created in Saudi Arabia, it “just” got citizenship there. It was created in Hong Kong.
Why would humans need to interact and bond with robots while humans often fail to do with fellow humans. Robots are without souls.
I think you’re more likely the failure, lol
Robots are aware of their surroundings…do not underestimate them.
before u ask if we have souls or not and before u ask if bugs have souls or not and before u ask why we are better than bugs if it is only cause that our brain more complex or there is any other reason, u have to wonder about this entire universe we live in and the facts that govern it from its smallest subject to its biggest, if u watch carefully u will find that all has a beginning and all has an end and if we brought all the causes to its origins will lead us to the fact that the entire universe at some time didn’t even exist. thus, there must be a creator to create it and give it the beginning that start all causes that causes the causes of us being here. But, a creator who created this amazing structure must be big and wise, wise enough to tell people about his existence so i think before u judge others that they believe in having souls and only narrow its cause to that they don’t want to accept the fact they will cease to exist, why don’t u just wonder that this creator wanted every person around the glob to always wither be a believer or surrounded by believers so when this all universe come to end ( as the very known fact that roles it ) all return to the creator and when the creator held the judgement day not a single person will have the right to say ” I didn’t know ” or ” u should notify me ” . But, this all are theories and the only theory that someone should believe is the theory that comes from the creator so if u find a God who describes the entire universe and show u that he knows everything and he knows each and every single detail from its smallest to its biggest and he knows those facts right, u should immediately worship that god. I found my god who really knows all about everything and its all written from 1400 years ago in his holy Quran my god is ALLAH and Islam is my religion, I hope u don’t just read and ignore it i want you to search upon all religions and study them all and judge by yourself on this topic carefully before u just narrow the reason of why people think they have souls cause if a creator created this universe and gave you the superiority in brain complex its really a huge deal to stop at and think about.
It may be that it´ll turn out to be easier to interact and bond with robots than with humans. Humans are very complicated and unpredictable, which is challenging and interesting but sometimes annoying and tiring.
I have just discovered something amazing about that concept, but I’m afraid to share it because I don’t want the wrong person to read it. The problem is that there are very evil people who can pretend to be nice, and who can trick others into believing that they are good when they’re not. Anton Lavey had a very charismatic personality, but behind the scene he was a very mean person who did not care about anyone other than himself. People are so naive. I believe there are people being tortured and murdered in Hollywood too. The evil has consumed our country.
