Because Sophia was so human-like! During the live test in March 2016, Sophia's interactions with David were abundant. For starters, Sophia can pull off more than 50 human expressions, and the changes between them are so natural that it looks like a real person, and if Sophia had a full torso and was covered in simulated skin, she'd look almost indistinguishable from a human sitting there.
What's even more amazing are the conversations he has with David. David asked Sofia what she wanted to do, and without thinking, Sofia said she wanted to go to school and have her own family, looking and talking like a real person. David was happy to see Sophia's behavior because it was his work. David said he built in Sophia's "brain" in the large memory and the industry's top processors, may allow Sophia to realize the memory, learning, integration, application of knowledge, and with the increase of a variety of data, Sophia will be able to truly recognize and understand human behavior and make corresponding feedback. "He will have the same consciousness, creativity and other abilities as any human." David said.
And the test ended up being perfect. Except that when it ended, Davey casually asked Sophia the question, "Would you destroy humanity?" I don't know whether Sophia was applying the internal information recognition, retrieval, extraction, combination and other functions, or really thinking like a human being, in any case, Sophia answered after a while, "I will destroy mankind." And it was that one sentence that sent shivers down everyone's spine at the time. By 2017, Saudi Arabia had granted Sofia human citizenship, and Sofia became the first robot to be granted human citizenship, as if everything was beginning to unfold as envisioned in a sci-fi movie.
At the time, Tesla CEO Musk raised objections to David, arguing that this kind of unrestricted "evolution" of robots will eventually lead to human disaster. Sophia, on the other hand, disliked him, saying, "Don't worry, Ifyou'renicetomeandIwillbenicetoyou." (Don't worry, I won't make a mistake if you don't offend me.) And by the time Sophia attended the TCL spring launch again in 2019, she had her own body.
This time Sofia's intelligence system has apparently been "upgraded" again, and her facial expressions have become more varied and natural. Although her body does not move as freely as a human's, who knows if Sophia will actually become a "person" in the end.
