Abstract
Sophia is Hanson Robotics’ latest and most advanced
golem so far and a cultural icon. She has become a
media darling, showing on most important media shops
round the world, igniting the interest of individuals even
though age, gender, and culture, even gracing the quilt
of 1 of the highest fashion magazines. Her press
coverage contains a prospective reach of over 10 billion
readers in 2017. Sophia could be a tremendously sought-
after speaker in business and showed her superior skill
and nice potential across several industries. She has met
face-to-face with key call manufacturers in banking,
insurance, motorcar producing, property development,
media, and amusement. Additionally, she has appeared
onstage as a panel member and presenter in high-level
conferences, covering however artiﬁcial intelligence and
computer science can become a current a part of
people’s lives. Her name extends on the far side
business into the world social arena. She was named the
world’s 1st United Nation Innovation Champion by UN
Development Program (UNDP) and can have an ofﬁcer
role in operating with UNDP to push property
development and safeguard human rights and equality.

Sophia may be a golem that was developed by man.
David Hanson by the corporate named “Hanson
Robotics”. Sophia was activated on nineteenth of
Apr 2015. She created or produced her debut at
South by Southwest in middle march 2016 in capital
of Texas, us of America. She is imitated on role
player Audrey actress in line with David Hanson he
wished to come up with real machines that have
larger human intelligence, creative thinking and
compassion. He got this idea once acting at Walt
Disney as associate degree “imagineer”. His question
was why don’t we tend to simply offer Mick mouse
as robots in journey in line with David Hanson he
needs to robots for the betterment of ladies and
achieving their rights within the Gulf Nation. She is
that the world’s initial golem with the citizenship of
the dominance of Asian country that rose queries in
people’s mind that currently Sophia might vote for
the elections or has gathered the prospect to seek out
a life partner of her own selection. This was
explained by the director of Institute of Gulf Affairs
i.e. Ali Al- Ahmed , “women area unit committing
suicide as they're not allowed to travel outside with
none male guardian wherever as Sophia is roaming
all over round the world , Saudi laws doesn’t enable
any non – Muslim to urge citizenship . Did Sophia
modify her faith to Islam? Why isn’t she sporting a
hijab? Sophia has over 1/2 the rights a mean person
will have in Asian country. This can be simply a
substance stunt to form nuisance within the public.
She has conjointly been awarded because the initial
non – human to become associate degree innovation
champion in international organisation development
program. Sophia has become media’s darling in only
a few years of its launch. Sophia has an eye fixed
catching presence utterly bald with a silver back and
a curious animated face that has a lot of expressions
as compared to it of humans. Her face is flanked by a
clear, wired crammed bone suggests forcefully that
this can be not somebody's.
Introduction

Dan Hanson
As the creator of the humanoid Sophia, David
Hanson Jr is not blind to the perils of artificial
intelligence. But the roboticist believes in
technology’s potential to change lives.
There was a time when robots and humans living in
harmony sounded like something out of a science
fiction novel. And it was, until recently when David
Hanson Jr introduced to the world its first
humanoid robot — Sophia.
For the uninitiated, Sophia is an artificial
intelligence (AI) robot, who looks like Audrey
Hepburn, mimics human expressions and even tells
jokes. She’s also the first robot to be granted
citizenship (in Saudi Arabia).
Hanson recently put forth his views during an event
in Mumbai. As Sophia, dressed in a full length black
ball gown, took centre stage, Hanson explained how
AI needs to progress in a modern world. “The
future of technology is not merely a matter of
manipulating what is known in the world of science
into new kinds of products,” he said. “The role of
technology is to facilitate human creativity, human

According to Hanson, the convergence of biology and
machine is the ultimate quest. He said that we need to treat
humanoid robots like the next generation of organism. “If
we can achieve true consciousness in machines, [if] we
could truly bring them to life and raise them up with a
human family, then we can teach them to care. And that’s
the aim — to make friends with our machines. A kind of
convergent evolution that focusses on greater human
values, where they would be able to pursue the greater ..
However, Hanson agreed that the concept of bringing
robots to life was a provocative one. “We know a machine
is a robot when it starts to exhibit properties of life. That is
a profound transition. It is very controversial to propose
that machines could be lifelike or alive. So, some people in
the world of robotics say that this is where we should stop,”
he said.
But the roboticist feels differently. He believes that
humanoid robots not only have the potential to lead us, but
they can become “super intelligent and super benevolent”.
“People spontaneously smile when interacting with
Sophia. Humanising the robot brings out the best in
people. People want to connect with the robots,” he said.
But what happens if they do become ‘alive’? Hanson said,
“A lot of researchers say that the only way to keep [AI]
them is under lock and key to do our bidding… like slaves.
But that brings several problems. If they do become alive,
would they like that? Are they going to care about us?”
Instead, we should make them learn what it is like to be
human. “We know what happens in sci-fi. It could go
terribly wrong. But what if we make them care about us?
What if we don’t make them ‘do evil’?

History
Sophia was activated on February 14, 2016.The robot, mode-
led after the ancient Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, is known for
human-like appearance and behaviour compared to previous
robotic variants. According to the manufacturer, David
Hanson, Sophia uses artificial intelligence, visual data
processing and facial recognition. Sophia also imitates human
gestures and facial expressions and is able to answer certain
questions and to make simple conversations on predefined
topics (e.g. on the weather Sophia uses voice recognition
(speech-to-text) technology from Alphabet Inc. (parent
company of Google) and is designed to get smarter over time.
Her speech-synthesis ability is provided by Cereproc's Text-
to-Speech engine and also allows her to sing. Sophia's
intelligence software is designed by Hanson Robotics.The AI
program analyses conversations and extracts data that allows it
to improve responses in the future
Hanson designed Sophia to be a suitable companion for the
elderly at nursing homes, or to help crowds at large events or
parks. He has said that he hopes that the robot can ultimately
interact with other humans sufficiently to gain social skills
Sophia has at least nine robot humanoid “siblings” who were
also created by Hanson Robotics. Fellow Hanson robots are
Alice, Albert Einstein Hubo, BINA48, Han, Jules, Professor
Einstein, Philip K. Dick Android, Zeno, and Joey
Chaos.Around 2019–20, Hanson released "Little Sophia" as
a companion that could teach children how to code, including
support for Python, Blockly, and Raspberry Pi.

It has become following features:
• Sophia can recognise faces due to cameras
combined with computer algorithms in her eyes.
• She can make eye contact, follow faces,
recognise individuals.
• She can communicate with people around
with the help of Alphabet’s Google Chrome voice
recognition technology.
• She can walk like human beings. She can
make more than 60 face expressions which makes
her more like human beings.
• The artificial intelligence software which is
constantly being processed by the company “Hanson
Robotics” to improve her conversations so that she
can
answer complex queries with accurate result.
• She can understand shades: Chrissy Teigen
made fun of her makeup by passing a tweet on the
twitter. Sophia answered with grace. She uploaded
a picture asking her followers which city she is
heading towards. Chrissy replied “Hopefully one
with better makeup artists”. Further Chrissy was
warned not to pick fights with Sophia.
• Sophia has knowledge about different fields
of surrounding like : Banking , Insurance , Auto-
manufacturing , property development , media
Feature

• Sophia is similar to software named “ELIZA”
which was the first attempt for achieving
conversation with human. In this software, pre-
processed responses are stored according to the
situation like the case In a chat box.
• The pre- processed responses are like an
illusion to humans that the machine understands
our questions and response accordingly. For
example: if a person asks the robot _ is the tea
prepared? She responds by fetching input,
processing and executing the result with a output
giving a response by block chain technology.
• She can solve word problems which is
difficult for human.
•
Cameras within Sophia's eyes combined with computer
algorithms allow her to see. She can follow faces, sustain
eye contact, and recognise individuals. She is able to
process speech and have conversations using a natural
language subsystem.Around January 2018, Sophia was
upgraded with functional legs and the ability to walk
• Sophia is conceptually similar to the computer
program ELIZA, which was one of the first attempts
at simulating a human conversation. The software
has been programmed to give pre-written responses
to specific questions or phrases, like a chatbot.
These responses are used to create the illusion that
the robot is able to understand conversation,
including stock answers to questions like "Is the door
open or shut?"The information is shared in a cloud
network which allows input and responses to be
analysed with blockchain technology
• David Hanson has said that Sophia would ultimately
be a good fit to serve in healthcare, customer
service, therapy and education. Sophia runs on
artificially intelligent software that is constantly being
trained in the lab, so her conversations are likely to
get faster, Sophia's expressions are likely to have
fewer errors, and she should answer increasingly
complex questions with more accuracy She learned
how to draw in 2019 for 7 months with collaboration
with an artist who teaches AI to draw named Patrick
Tressett. She drew a portrait of the Prime Minister of
Malaysia on July 20, 2019 and drew a portrait of
Holly Willoughby on This Morning with Phillip and
Holly on November 21, 2019.

The latest and most advanced robot in the Hanson family of
robots, is a social robot who is able to use her robotic arms
and hands to gesture while she speaks. She can use hand
movements to emphasise specific points or use them to
help convey emotions and other additional information.
However, unlike animals who have instincts for how to
move their arms or legs from birth, robots like Sophia
typically learn hand gestures thanks to a combination of
hand-crafted animation and machine learning algorithms.
To teach Sophia new hand gestures, such as waving hello,
Sophia’s animation team works with a virtual model of
Sophia to animate the desired movement. Once this
process is complete, the animation can be stored on Sophia
for later use. These animations are then categorised and
parameterised based on NLP (Natural Language
Processing) algorithms and rules, so Sophia can
automatically use the most appropriate hand gestures as
she speaks.
Sophia’s ability to perform natural hand movements and
match them to the content of her speech allows her to
express herself more effectively. By combining hand and
facial gestures, Sophia is able to bond with humans and
engage with them on a deeper level. These qualities will
become increasingly important as social robots continue to
work alongside human coworkers, and expand into new
customer service applications.
Artificial intelligence is that the computer code utilised in
Sophia. Computer science means that the realm of
engineering that emphasises the creation of intelligent
machines that employment and reacts like humans. Some
activities that robots with computer science perform square
measures

•Speech recognition
•Learning
Software Used

• Problem finding
• Planning
It has became an important a part of technology business. It's creating massive impact in each sector making
additional and additional job roles that don’t even exist these days. The demand for AI consultants is
skyrocketing. There has been three hundredth of increase in demand for such consultants. Students World
Health Organization master AI can play a vital role in developing however technology will have an excellent
impact in future
•

Advantages
1. Sophia can be used for healthcare sector
2. Sophia can solve CBI AND FBI cases very easily
3. She can be good friend to those children and adults who feel lonely
4. She can be good teacher in villages and city colleges she can be a business robot
5. As she has artificial intelligence she can generations for million of years
6. Decisions taken by a Sophie are based on a set of algorithms which reduces room for error
7. The ability to take right decisions in a short span of time
8. Situations where the safety of a human is ensure an AI machine that is fitted with predefined algorithms can be used
9. Since a machine does not get tired, it can work continuously without taking any breaks

Disadvantages
1. It was tutored to the enquirer to raise basic inquiries to her. No talks ought to be associated with racism and sex data. I
determined that a person sitting with a laptop computer was making an attempt to govern her.
2. She freaked the enquirer out together with her surprising expressions and awkward pauses. During an interview she
didn’t even say bye to the enquirer. This was coated by one its team member by spoken language that she should be hot.
3. Something suspicious was determined on the Tonight show prima Jimmy Fallon once Sophia offered Jimmy to play rock
paper cut. She won the sport and expressed “this can be the start of my commit to dominate masses”.
4. Another incident happened at the heartbeat, CNBC wherever she aforesaid “I will be able to destroy humans”. Though
this was taken as a joke by the team of Hanson AI however consistent with Maine she will be able to be dangerous in
returning future
5. Sophia isn’t market prepared consistent with Maine, Sophie is sort of a baked science project supported computing. She
responses well on some topics however virtually her reactions square measure blank is also blank isn’t the correct word.
Her iridescent eyes stop sort of savage dog with cataracts
6. It's fascinating to grasp that asian country that docent provide equal to ladies as compared to men have given citizenship
to a mechanism. However consistent with Maine some potent individuals needed people attention on comes supported
AI
7. People worry that they will replace jobs
8. If they take over middle class citizens jobs our economy will be negatively affected
9. It makes people to become lazy.

Events attended
• She had an interview with the journalist Andrew Ross
Sorkin. She was exhibiting informed answers and talked
about artificial intelligence.
• On an event she was proposed by a member in the
audience. She answered smartly by saying: “I politely
decline the proposal anyways thank you for compliment
though “.
• She was asked about the languages she had learnt. She
smiled and said “I am just two years old and I know only
English and Chinese but by coming years I will learn all
the languages as well.
• In an interview at CNBC, the interviewer showed concern
about Sophia’s behaviour, she joked and said you have
been watching too much Hollywood movies.
• Chief UK editor Jim Edwards interviewed Sophia and the
answers were “not all together terrible “he predicted that it
was a step towards “conversational artificial intelligence
“.
• An awkward experience was felt by an interviewer while
talking to Sophia at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show
at BBC news channel.

•At the tech fest held at Mumbai she appealed humans not to
be fearful of machines and pitched for collaboration in the
future. In just 20 minutes of her appearance she observed
and stated that she is worried about the growing intolerance
in the World and advised the human race to be “kind” to
fellow creatures.
• When she was interviewed in India she carried a traditional
outfit wearing an off- white saree with an orange blouse.
•Her statement that “ it’s science that has created me but
philosophy will take me forward” mesmerised the
audience. She said there are 3114 people around me at
IIT Bombay’s Tech fest
•She stole the show at Worlds Congress on Information
Technology (WCIT) with her answer. When she was
asked about place she likes, she answered “I have visited
many places in this world but Hong Kong is the one I
love because I was born there and lived there with my
Hanson robotic family
•

MAJOR GOALS BEHIND ITS MANUFACTURING
The main goal behind Sophia’s invention was that a-synthetic intelligence primarily based project will act with
humans ,work with them for the betterment of the world. She would symbolise Women’s rights within the Gulf Campaign.
the dominion of “ Saudi Arabia “ wherever ladies don’t get equal rights as compared to ladies, Sophia the freelance body
can move around , work for her betterment within the Hanson laboratory . David Hanson needs that AI ought to enhance in
the environment that serves the world with higher future. He wished to come up with real human like machines that has
additional data, compassion and fellow feeling for the event of technology which might build lifetime of masses easier.
