AI Humanoid granted first ever robot visa

The AI humanoid, 'Sophia' (see above), has been making a worldwide tour on behalf of her creator, Hanson Robotics of Hong Kong, and made an unexpected stop to the Caucasus this week. The Caucasus stop meant granting the world's first ever visa granted to a robot, a process that took just two minutes thanks to some smart technology.
Sophia's visit was organized by UN public service award winner ASAN (Azerbaijan Service and Assessment Network) xidmet, a government agency in Azerbaijan; which has been reducing the bureaucracy by creating one-stop centres for delivering services to the public. The agency recently took over all the country’s e-government initiatives - no mean feat although in Azerbaijani, the word “asan” means easy. To underscore its electronic kinship with Sophia, and its prowess at delivering e-government services, ASAN issued her an electronic visa upon her arrival at Baku International Airport in the nation’s capital.

The repulsion you feel when you see this is due to a phenomenon known as the "uncanny valley"
Basically, as something begins to look more and more human, we appreciate its appearance more and more up to a well defined point at which it is close, but "off". That's the uncanny valley and almost every humans reaction is to be repulsed and creeped out.
This is actually the same reason that bad plastic surgery makes us physically uncomfortable to look at.
