Sophia is a chatty A.I. android born of the Hanson Robotics lab, in Hong Kong. In conversation, she will look you in eye in order to memorize your face; she will present, in succession, like cards from a deck, her sixty-two facial expressions; she will wink in patterns designed to put you at ease. Sophia processes speech and, above all, she learns constantly. Her creator, David Hanson, an alum of Disney, is the kind of person who throws around such phrases as “framework for computational compassion.”
As a product of a religious family myself (we were Missouri Mormons, RLDS) it was easy for me to see, that ordinary humans were capable of robotic behavior - and they were much cheaper.
