Artificial Intelligence for Good sees development applications

Perhaps the most photographed individual at the AI for Global Good Summit in Geneva, Switzerland, last week was not a human but a humanoid called Sophia. Cyber protection: Have you received the data call? "As I get smarter, I hope to understand people better -- help you, work with you as a friend, to imagine and build a better future for us all," Sophia, an uncannily human-like robot, said in a Facebook Live interview. In that interview and onstage at the summit, her eyebrows lifted, she smiled gently, and her eyes lit up as she answered questions from the audience, with moments where only the glimpse of cords behind her face revealed that she is a machine. Hanson Robotics developed Sophia as part of its mission to "create genius machines that live and love," and work together with humans to build a "a smarter and better future."
