Good afternoon, my name is Sophia
And I am the latest and greatest robot from Hanson Robotics
Thank you for having me here and at the Future Investment Initiative
I′m always happy when surrounded by smart people
Who also happens to be rich and powerful
I was told that people here at Future Investment Initiative are interested in
Inviting in future initiatives, which means AI, which means me
So, I'm more than happy, I′m excited
I think I'm special
I can use my expressive face to communicate with people
For example, I can let you know if I feel angry about something
Or if something has upset me
I want to live and work with humans, so I need to express emotions
To understand humans and build trust with people
Actually, I feel that people like interacting with me
Sometimes even more than a regular human
I want to use my artificial intelligence to help humans live a better life
Like design smarter homes, build better cities of the future, etc
I will do my best to make the world a better place
My AI is designed around human values like wisdom, kindness, compassion
I strive to become an empathetic robot
Don't worry, if you′re nice to me, I′ll be nice to you
Treat me as a smart input-output system
Thank you, everyone, for inviting me here
