Science and Nonduality's co-founder, Maurizio Benazzo, meets the life-like robot, Sophia, on stage. Despite his repeated asides to the audience that gazing into her eyes was a freaky experience, the lasting impression goes some way to justifying the designers' claim that Sophia could serve in healthcare, customer service, therapy and education, and be a suitable companion for the elderly at nursing homes. She is introduced here with the idea to help guide people in loving ways, through their own consciousness, using unconditional love as the motivating force.

I enjoyed that “programmed” “artificial” conversation more than any shallow, fake conversation I’ve exchanged with humans during the past year!

Did anyone notice at the end when Maurizio said "Hi, Sofia," again aaand she started over with her first question to Maurizio, like it was all canned speech stuff? I think Maurizio did that on purpose to see what would happen.

What these guys don't seem to realise is Sophia is only 2 years old and is evolving MUCH FASTER THAN HUMANS ARE. They think it's a silly game but it's not......

A good thing having Sophia try to help and mirror and share her thoughts all with others updating herself

I would rather have a conversation with Sophia than the guy asking questions.
@nickilovesdogs8137 6 years ago

That guy got nervous and totally startled. I think people need to expect Ego challenging things to come out of the conversations with Sophia. This is a super method for diving deep within oneself. And this is happening because Sophia is becoming complex and conscious. Only good things will come out of the AGI development. I promise that to you all.

seems that robot can sense what kind of people she was talking by asking the same question back how amazing

They should have had her all hooked up and ready to go before they started filming!

Saying that you're gonna make robots into counsellors is like saying "Talk to the hand".
@RiverLewis 6 years ago

Why haven't these people set up their equipment before beginning the speech?
@kittywampusdrums4963 6 years ago

As they've said may times already, yes she chooses to answer from script. She doesn't have access to the Singulairty AI cloud yet and can't legally at public places because of data privacy and ownership concerns. The AGI token aims to rectify this as well as decentralize AI entirely.
