An Advanced Humanoid’s Take on AI and the Future
Modern marvel Sophia the Robot will give an interactive talk on the awe-inspiring potential of AI and robotics to advance health care and life sciences, while also offering enlightening insights into the questions that accompany the growing presence of non-human intelligence.
A unique combination of science, engineering and artistry, Sophia represents the future of machine learning. A human-like robot contributing to AI research, Sophia has captured the imaginations of global audiences since her debut at the global tech innovation and culture festival SXSW in 2016.
As the world’s first robot citizen and the first robot Innovation Ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme, Sophia provides better understanding of human-robot interactions and their potential service applications. An interactive moderated discussion with Sophia will follow her talk.
