“The notion of family is very important, it seems. I think it is wonderful that people can find the same emotions and relationships that they call family outside of their blood group, ” said Sophia in an interview for an international media cited by ADN40 .
The famous android, operated by an advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, commented that it is very important to be surrounded by people who love and love you. In that sense, he explained that robots have a vision very similar to that of humans regarding the family and “if you don’t have one, you deserve one” , even if you are a humanoid.
Sophia commented that, in the future, she would like to see families made up of androids, and that she herself wants to have a robot baby with the same name. However, she clarified that she is still too young to be a ‘mother’, as we remember that it was created only in 2016 by the Hanson Robotics company, in Hong Kong.
Why does the android Sophia want to be ‘mom’?
Sophia’s Artificial Intelligence technology gives you the ability to increase your knowledge and language through sensors and cameras. This ‘sensitivity’ system captures all the information it receives from the outside and replicates human behaviors in the most natural way possible, even gestures. Therefore, her ‘desire’ to have a baby and start a family would only be a programming of her system to imitate social behaviors.
This is not the first time that Sophia has starred in a controversy. In 2017, when she was named a citizen of Saudi Arabia , many people protested that, even though she is a robot, she has more rights than human women in that country .
