Meet Sophia, a humanoid AI robot, developed by Hanson Robotics

Yesterday I had the opportunity to meet Sophia, a humanoid AI robot, developed by Hanson Robotics. Here are some of the photos and videos I took, apologies for the quality of the videos from the back of the room:

Q&A session with Dr. Ben Goertzel and students from Kerikeri High School and from Lynfield College prior to the keynote

After the keynote the audience was invited to come up close and personal and to interact with Sophia

There are lots of implications, positive and negative, out of development of AI and AGI. I will write a separate post once I have got my thoughts a bit better organised.
