stranger then fiction : Sophia the robot & technology
Sophia, who was first presented at south by southwest in Texas in 2016, has become a prominent example of realistic humanoid robots which embody Al . the company designed Sophia as a social robot which could be incorporated into nursing homes.
''the world of COVID - 19 is going to need more and more automation to keep people safe ,'' David Hanson , founder and CEB of Hanson robotics , told Reuters. He commented that robots like Sophia could have applications in healthcare , customer service and hospitality : on of the new Hanson robot , 'grace' ,is intended sell thousands of robots in 2021.
''Sophia and Hanson robots are unique by being so human like. that can be so useful during these times where people are terribly lonely and socially isolated.
professor johan hoorn, an expert in social robot at Hong Kong polytechnic university, told Reuters that the pandemic may encourage humans to form relationships with social robots sooner then expected; ''I can infer the pandemic will actually help us get robots earlier in the market because people start to release that there is no other way,''

what is Artificial intelligence?
artificial intelligence [ AL ] is truly a revolutionary feat of computer science, set to become a core component of all modern software over the coming years and decades . this presents a threat but also on opportunity. AL will be deployed to augment both defensive and offensive cyber operations. additionally, mew means of cyber attack will be invented to take advantage of the particular weaknesses of AL technology. finally , the importance of data will be amplified by Al's appetite for large amounts of training data , redefining how we must think about data protraction. prudent governance at the global level will be essential to ensure that this era-defining technology will bring about broadly shared safety and prosperity.
