Sophia Humanoid Robot: Loving AI Project

The document discusses Sophia, a humanoid robot created by Hanson Robotics. It describes Sophia's rise to fame through media appearances and being granted citizenship in Saudi Arabia. The document also discusses photos taken inside Hanson Robotics that show the process of building Sophia and her interactions with the photographer, though she is not truly intelligent but rather relies on pre-programmed responses. Researchers criticize portrayals of her as very advanced AI but her creators argue her expressiveness is a major feat enabled by neural networks and other technical aspects.

Download PDF Abstract: The "Loving AI" project involves developing software enabling humanoid robots to interact with people in loving and compassionate ways, and to promote people' self-understanding and self-transcendence. Currently the project centers on the Hanson Robotics robot "Sophia" -- specifically, on supplying Sophia with personality
content and cognitive, linguistic, perceptual and behavioral content aimed at enabling loving interactions supportive of human self-transcendence. In September 2017 a small pilot study was conducted, involving the Sophia robot leading human subjects through dialogues and exercises focused on meditation, visualization and relaxation.

The pilot was an apparent success, qualitatively demonstrating the viability of the approach and the ability of appropriate human-robot interaction to increase human well-being and advance human consciousness. From: Benjamin Goertzel [view email] [v1] Fri, 22 Sep 2017 [Link] UTC (1,905 KB) Rubberized faces stretch into familiar shapes, driven
by tiny motors and a distant version of artificial intelligence—is this the future?Meet Sophia, a social robot created by former Disney Imagineer David Hanson. Modeled in part after Audrey Hepburn and Hanson's wife, the robot was built to mimic social behaviors and inspire feelings of love and compassion in [Link] since her unveiling in 2016,
Sophia has rocketed to stardom. The robot has sat for TV interviews, appeared on the cover of ELLE magazine, been parodied on HBO, and was appointed the UN's first non-human “innovation champion.” In a ceremony promoting a tech conference, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia even conferred citizenship on Sophia—an ironic move, given the limited
rights afforded to Saudi women and migrant workers. But for photographer Giulio Di Sturco, seeing Sophia at press events as her creators promoted their AI business SingularityNET wasn't enough. As he searched for a visual metaphor for the future, he wanted to see the robot's place of creation, [Link], Di Sturco became the first
photographer to step inside Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics—a frenetic space spilling over with robotic parts and human technicians stitching them together. The setting's strangeness only deepened once he started photographing his most peculiar subject.“In the beginning, it was a bit difficult. [Sophia] didn’t recognize the camera ... but after
three days, she kind of learned,” Di Sturco says. “I don’t know if the engineer put something in the software, or if she went online and did some research, but she started to pose.“It was actually really strange—at one point, I realized I was even speaking with her,” he adds. “I had to step back and realize that she was a robot, not a human being.”I had
to step back and realize that she was a robot, not a human [Link] might recall the self-aware robots in Ex Machina or Westworld, but to be clear, no robots have yet achieved artificial general intelligence (AGI), or versatile humanlike smarts. When talking with journalists, Sophia climbs her way through prewritten trees of responses like a
chatbot. When giving a speech, she's performing like Abe Lincoln at Disney World's Hall of [Link] the face of Sophia's ubiquity, AI researchers have criticized media outlets for overselling her capabilities: “This is to AI as prestidigitation is to real magic,” Facebook's chief AI scientist Yann LeCun quipped in January 2018, in response to a Tech
Insider “interview” of the [Link]'s creators argue in turn that her expressiveness alone represents a major feat. According to a publication on Sophia's software, deep neural networks let the robot discern someone's emotions from their tone of voice and facial expression and react in kind. Sophia also can mirror people's postures, and her code
generates realistic facial movements. Hanson has since patented the flexible rubber skin that covers Sophia's face.“None of this is what I would call AGI, but nor is it simple to get working,” AI researcher Ben Goertzel, who designed Sophia's “brains,” said in an interview with The Verge. “And it is absolutely cutting-edge in terms of dynamic
integration of perception, action, and dialogue.”For Di Sturco, all of this adds up to a compelling photographic subject: a machine that can at once look utterly human and utterly devoid of life.“She started to look at me and smile, and I looked at her, and at that point for me, she was not human, but there was kind of a connection,” he says. “You kind
of get out of the lab, the future, and you realize something crazy: There is something there in Sophia.” [Link] uses cookies to personalize content, tailor ads and improve the user experience.
