Saudi Arabia unveils female humanoid robot that has been programed not to talk about sex or politics because it is illegal under Sharia law - weeks after nation's male robot groped a woman

Saudi Arabia now has a matching pair of male and female humanoid robots whose AI is coded to be culturally aligned with the nation's values. Just weeks after the male robot, Muhammed, groped a women's bottom at its debut event, its creator has revealed that a female version, Sarah, was programmed to refuse conversations about sex or politics. Discussing either topic openly is illegal for real Saudi women under Sharia law. Sara'knows that she's a girl, she's 25 years old, she's 1.62m [5ft, 3in], she's wearing Saudi clothing,' according to the CEO of the Riyadh-based firm QSS AI & Robots. Saudi Arabia now has a matching pair of male and female humanoid robots with artificial intelligence (AI) that's culturally Saudi - meaning the'woman' (Sara, above) won't discuss forbidden topics like sex and politics A 3D design of the Sara robot's endo-skeleton (left), which provided a first step toward Saudi company QSS's manufacturing of the female robot.
