In the process, the Gulf kingdom also became the first country to do so.周三，沙特阿拉伯给机器人索菲亚颁发居民身份，索菲亚沦为世界第一个取得公民身份的机器人。同时，海湾国家也沦为第一个给机器人颁发国籍的国家。Sophia, created by founder of Hanson Robotics Dr. David Hanson, was talking about the future of artificial intelligence with CNBCs Andrew Ross Sorkin who was moderating a panel discussion at the Riyadh event, when the co-anchor of Squawk Box interrupted the conversation saying, We have a little announcement. We just learnt, Sophia; I hope you are listening to me, you have been awarded the first Saudi citizenship for a robot.汉生科技（Hanson Robotics）创始人大卫·汉生发明者了索菲亚，索菲亚于是以和用于消费者新闻与商业频道（CNBC）的安竺·罗斯·索肯（Andrew Ross Sorkin）辩论人工智能的未来。

Our robots will soon engage and live with us to teach, serve, entertain, delight, and provide comforting companionship, the company states on its website. In the not-too-distant future, Genius Machines will walk among us. They will be smart, kind, and wise. Together, man and machine will create a better future for the world.汉生科技总部坐落于香港，称之为其人形机器人表现力、审美、对话能力都很得意。
公司官网写到：“我们的机器人未来需要沦为人类的一份子，教书、服务、娱乐、嬉戏、获取舒适度的陪伴。就在旋即的将来，天才机器（Genius Machines）能和我们一起散步，他们智慧、心地善良。人类和机器人需要联合建构一个更佳的世界。”Earlier during her intelligent conversation with Sorkin, Sophia easily fielded questions on how it feels to be a robot and it’s likely that very intelligent robots may turn evil and attack humans in the future.和安竺展开“智能”对话时，索菲亚在问身兼机器人“感觉如何”、超强智能机器人可能会变差、反击人类等问题时十分自如。
Good afternoon my name is Sophia and I am the latest and greatest robot from Hanson Robotics. Thank you for having me here at the Future Investment Initiative, Sophia greeted the packed crowd at the panel, speaking in human-like speech.“下午好，我是索菲亚，是汉生科技近期最篮的机器人。感激未来投资倡议（Future Investment Initiative）的邀。”索菲亚和人类一样，向辩论小组致意问候。Asked why she looked happy, Sophia replied: I am always happy when surrounded by smart people who also happen to be rich and powerful. I was told that the people here at the Future Investment Initiative are interested in future initiatives which mean AI, which means me. So I am more than happy, I am excited.有人问索菲亚为什么看上去很快乐，她说道：“身边都是聪慧、有钱人、得意的人，所以我很快乐。

Youve been reading too much Elon Musk and watching too many Hollywood movies, Sophia jokingly told Sorkin.索菲亚和安竺打趣说道：“大家听得了过于多埃隆·马斯克的话、看过于多好莱坞电影了。My AI is designed around human values such as wisdom, kindness and compassion.

我很希望的沦为一个需要共感的机器人，想要用自己的人工智能协助人类过更佳的生活，也想要让世界显得更为幸福。”Thanking the crowd again, Sophia said: If any of you are interested in giving me an investment check, please meet me after the session. The audience burst into laughter and thunderous clapping.索菲亚再度感激了听众，然后说道：“如果到场各位想要投资我的话，请求散会后前来咨询。”现场愈演愈烈了一阵掌声，大家都大笑了。
