Saudi Arabia gives robot more rights than a real woman
 

More rights than a real foreign worker

Saudi Arabia has become the first country in the world to offer citizenship to a humanoid robot, giving it more rights than millions of human women and foreigners living in the Gulf nation.

Sophia, a robot with human female features that can make facial expressions and hold conversations, debuted at a economic summit in the country’s capital, Riyadh, this week.

"I’m very honoured and proud for this unique distinction", Sophia said, to applause. "This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognised with a citizenship.”
