“Without AI, humanity will not survive”

Do robots dream? Have they ever looked in the mirror?

The world's first digital citizen Sophia shares how she views herself – and humans. 

Trailblazing roboticist David Hanson joins the conversation to spill the secrets behind his quest to build autonomous AI – and how close we actually are. Why he thinks superintelligence is inevitable. And why he makes robots with human faces.

Watch this riveting conversation between UN's first Innovation Ambassador Sophia, the CEO of Hanson Robotics, and Shoma Chaudhury, Founder of Lucid Lines & Founder-Director, SYNAPSE.

And decide for yourself whether Sophia is prelude or puppet.
