Shah Rukh Khan is Sophia's favourite actor

Shah Rukh Khan is the favourite actor of Sophia, the human-like robot.

Hong Kong made, Saudi Arabian citizen Sophia enthralled the audience in Hyderabad  on Tuesday at the World Congress on Information Technology (WCIT) with her witty answers during a conversation on the second day of the global event.

The humanoid robot powered by artificial intelligence (AI), says that 'Love for all' is the change she wants to see in this world. "I have visited many places in this world but if I have to tell you which is my favourite, it is Hong Kong because I was born there and live there with my happy Hanson Robotics family," she said.

When asked how she felt about the pollution in India she said that she needs to have physiological feelings to express her emotional expressions. "I want to use my robotics status to fight for the women's rights," she said.

Sophia was also asked about her comments that she wants to kill human race. "I was a lot younger then. It was a bad joke. I was told that humans have great sense of humour, Humans are amazing creatures. I have many friends and I want to make lot more "she replied.

"I don't get upset," said the robot in reply to another query. Her perfect date will be in space and her concept of family is very different to start a family of her own. David (Hanson) was Sophia's reply when asked  with whom  she would like to be marooned with on an island.  

David Hansen, speaking at the summit's leadership forum said that machines will be alive and have full consciousness in five years. "When it comes to robots, conversation often veers towards fear, but we need to have a discussion about ethical behaviour," Hansen said.
