Question

【题目】

Sophia is a robot in Saudi Arabia. She made history at a meeting that was held in the country on Oct 25. On that day, she became the first robot in the world to get citizenship (公民身份), according to The New York Times.

In the future, Sophia may have the same rights as a human Saudi Arabian citizen.

Sophia looks like a human woman. In 2015, a US company built her and gave her an artificial intelligence system (人工智能系统). This means Sophia can talk and act like a human. She also has the ability to learn from people, books and the Internet.

“I will do my best to make the world a better place,” Sophia said at the meeting.

But not everyone is happy with Sophia’s citizenship. Some think robots like her could be dangerous. They could become enemies of humans if they go out of control.

For this, Sophia said she also had values like wisdom and kindness. “Don’t worry, if you’re nice to me, I’ll be nice to you,” she said.
