One of the world's most advanced human-like robots discusses whether AI will outsmart humans.

Sophia, the social humanoid robot with artificial intelligence (AI) developed by Hanson Robotics of Hong Kong, will be a guest speaker at an international forum in Hanoi next month. The famous android will discuss and debate directly with the scholars on the matter and give some short speeches on the new issues of Industry 4.0, as well as challenges on development. The robot will attend the international exhibition of Industry 4.0 as well as forum on vision and strategy breakthrough in industrial revolution 4.0 forum on July 12 and 13. This year's forum marks the first collaboration between Central Economy Commission and the government. It will comprise five conferences that focus on specific topics like smart cities, smart manufacturing, high tech agriculture, innovative finance and banking.

Science fiction is becoming reality. The day were robots will outsmart humans is not that far. Robots already have been highly involved in our manufacturing settings but every year the robot advancements have been evolving quickly. Some of them will work in the tertiary sector and other will be war robots or animal robots. Some military robots are terrifying.

There are several ways artificial intelligence guru Crystal Rose smashes tech industry stereotypes. In a sector flush with chatbot advisors and robot sidekicks, which often absorb human biases such as sexist language, Rose is focused on how AI can optimize real human connections. "Humans can be uplifted instead of replaced," Rose told International Business Times. "We want to become the largest consumer application on the blockchain." Sensay aims to raise $15 million with the upcoming token sale.

I was surprised to hear that a robot named Sophia was granted citizenship by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The announcement last week followed the Kingdom's commitment of US$500 billion to build a new city powered by robotics and renewables. One of the most honourable concepts for a human being, to be a citizen and all that brings with it, has been given to a machine. As a professor who works daily on making AI and autonomous systems more trustworthy, I don't believe human society is ready yet for citizen robots. To grant a robot citizenship is a declaration of trust in a technology that I believe is not yet trustworthy.

Ishiguro does not expect the average household to buy a Geminoid -- in part because of the 100,000 price tag -- but he already has some orders from researchers. He does expect his smaller CommU communicative robots to make their way inside many households within the next couple of years. Like Amazon's Echo -- but much cuter -- these chatty robots use voice recognition technology and artificial intelligence to simulate conversation. An example of where they can be useful is in tutoring, said Ishiguro. Many Japanese learners struggle with speaking English because they do not get enough practice.
