Sophia is a social human-like AI robot developed by the Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics. Sophia was activated on February 14, 2016, and made its first public appearance in mid-March 2016 at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, United States. In 2017, Sophia made history by becoming the first human-like AI robot to be granted legal citizenship. This human-like AI robot, with nationality of Saudi Arabia, has made various controversial statements, but the most recent has left the world speechless: she wants to have a robot baby and start a family.

They're not reasonably the droid killers viewed within the Terminator movies, however these unsettling machines have bought the information superhighway up in arms. Scientists have created tiny AI robots that can devour, develop and even evolve similar to actual creatures, sparking fears of a robotic uprising. The news has startled on-line commenters, with one comparing the work to'Skynet' – the fictional evil company behind the Terminator robots. "we are introducing a brand-new, practical fabric thought powered by way of its very personal synthetic metabolism," Professor Luo mentioned. "We do not make something that's alive, however we are developing materials that are a whole lot greater practical than have ever been considered before."

Sex robots will soon be able to say'no' to unwanted advances from humans. Dr Sergi Santos, the Spanish inventor of sexbot Samantha, claims he's working on a version of his AI doll that can enter'dummy' mode in certain situations. For instance, 'dummy' mode may be switched on if sensors under Samantha's skin detect that she is being touched in an aggressive or disrespectful way. The robot will also enter into the unresponsive mode if she is bored with the attentions of her potential lover. Sexbot Samantha (pictured) will enter into a'dummy' mode if the sensors under her skin detect she is being touched in an aggressive or disrespectful way Samantha demonstrated her ability to say'no' to overly aggressive sexual partners during a recent presentation held at the Life Science Centre in Newcastle.
