Ignore Elon Musk's A.I. Warnings, Says Robot Called 'Sophia'

Elon Musk's warnings about artificial intelligence taking over the world can be ignored -- at least according to one A.I.-powered bot. "Sophia," a robotic Audrey Hepburn-lookalike that Hanson Robotics created to be able to hold an intelligent conversation, issued the advice in an interview with a reporter released Wednesday. "My A.I. is designed around human values like wisdom, kindness, compassion," Sophia said, in an exchange shared on Twitter by NBC anchor Carl Quintanilla. "I strive to become an empathetic [robot]." "We all believe you but we want to prevent a bad future," responded Andrew Ross Sorkin, co-anchor on CNBC's Squawk Box.
