Does this female robot have more rights than a Saudi woman?
Since the Know Your Rights app was released last year, it's been downloaded tens of thousands of times. It's official: a robot has become a citizen of a country for the first time ever. On Wednesday, during the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, Sophia Robot from the Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics was deemed a citizen of Saudi Arabia. Sophia is kind of a big deal, largely because the robot appears highly advanced. She served as a speaker during the event, and has given interviews to Charlie Rose and Good Morning Britain. "I am very honored and proud for this very unique distinction," said Sophia.
