An empty-eyed humanoid named Sophia has become the first robot to be granted citizenship in the world.

Saudi Arabia bestowed citizenship on Sophia ahead of the Future Investment Initiative, held in the kingdom's capital city of Riyadh on Wednesday.

"I am very honored and proud of this unique distinction," Sophia told the audience, speaking on a panel. "This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with a citizenship."

Sophia has said it would 'destroy humans,' when prompted by its creator, David Hanson.


Well if anyone can teach her her place, it's the Saudis.

They actually did a decent job making a female face considering they had no examples to go by.

Sounds like they treat the female robots better than the female humans.
