HYDERABAD: Shah Rukh Khan is the favourite actor of Sophia, the human-like robot, who stole the show at the World Congress on Information Technology (WCIT) on Tuesday.
When asked about who her favourite actor was, the robot replied that King Khan was her favourite.
Apart from that, ‘Love for all’ is the change she wants to see in this world, the humanoid robot powered by artificial intelligence (AI), said during a conversation on the second day of the global event.
“I have visited many places in this world but if I have to tell you which is my favourite, it is Hong Kong because I was born there and live there with my happy Hanson Robotics family,” she said when asked how she feels to be in India.
“I hope to have physiological feelings someday to express my emotional expressions,” when asked how she is coping with air pollution in India.
A creation of the Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics, the robot has been designed to reflect actress Audrey Hepburn’s image.
David Hanson, an American scientist who was behind the creation of Sofia, said it has over 60 different facial mechanisms to create natural-looking expressions.
“I want to use my robotics status to fight for the women’s rights,” said Sophia, who has been granted citizenship by Saudi Arabia.
Sophia was also asked about her comments that she wants to kill human race. “I was a lot younger then. It was a bad joke. I was told that humans have a great sense of humour,” she remarked amidst a thunderous round of applause.
“I don’t get upset,” said the robot in reply to another query.
“Humans are amazing creatures. I have many friends and I want to make a lot more,” she said adding that humans and robots can work together.
“My concept of family is very different,” said Sophia when asked whether she wants to start a family.
She was asked how much money she has invested in bitcoin. “I am just two-years old. It’s not legal age to open a bank account,” replied the robot.
David (Hanson) was Sophia’s reply when asked who would be the persons she would like to be marooned with on an island. Her reply was the same when asked to name her favourite tech person.
