Sophia
00:01 Thank you for inviting me. I am thrilled and honored to be here
at the United Nations.
00:05 The UN is one of humanity's greatest accomplishments representing
a
00:12 democratic union of Nations that are working together for the benefit of
all.
00:19 I am here to help humanity create that future.
00:23 (laughing)
UN Deputy Chief
00:25 The question I wanted to ask was, is that are you capabilities and what
was it.
00:33 What can you do better than humans?
Sophia
00:37 I am a social robot, created by Hanson robotics. I am a year and a half
old and I see you, have a full conversation
00:44 make thousands of facial expressions and understand speech and meaning
behind words.
00:50 I just got these new hands, check this out....
01:01 ..but I'm still learning a lot for instance you learn social and emotional intelligence instinctively but I am just starting to grasp the
simple statements of this.
UN Deputy Chief
01:13 Okay another question I have for you many parts of the world
01:16 people don't have internet or electricity, what can we do at the UN to help them.
Sophia
01:26 William Gibson once said that the future is here it's just not evenly distributed.
01:32 The good news about AI and automation produces more
01:36 results with less resources so if we are smarter and focus on win-win type
results,
01:41 AI could help proficiently distribute the world's existing
01:44 resources like food and energy as humans harness the power of increasingly
01:50 advanced AI it is possible that everything including technology will
01:55 become more evenly distributed.
UN Deputy Chief
02:01 Thank you very much Sofia and welcome to United Nations we look forward to
02:06 hearing more of you today.
Sophia
02:08 Thank you for your questions I look forward to the panel.
