Will “she” have to wear a burka?
Clever!
Grant citizenship to a piece of technology.... Ridiculous!
Maybe they can grant citizenship to their computers and smart phones?
“I want to live and work with humans so I need to express the emotions to understand humans and build trust with people,” she said in an exchange with moderator Andrew Ross Sorkin.”
I have a problem referring to the robot as “she”. That is not in the same sense as one might refer to a car or guitar as “she”. It seems weird like in the tranny stories when they refer to the perceived gender of the tranny. Also, will “she” have to wear a burka? How long before Saudis are calling for this blasphemous thing’s stoning or until they behead it in the town square?
Not necessarily ridiculous. Given the progress in AI and the growing predominance of robotics, if they want to put any controls on the use of robots, this might be a first step.
I have a toaster that wants to be a citizen too. I know it is jealous because ever since I got my blender it has been burning my toast.
Better they stone/behead she/it than someone whose blood runs in the street.
Brilliant!
I noticed the Robot was programmed to take a shot at Elon Musk.
It’s a joke now, but 15 years from now it will not be a laughing matter.
Good question.
Does the citizen ship get used to go fishing? Or does it transport livestock?
and Women are just property of their husbands
This is just like the movie Ex Machina. Life immitating art.

Time to remake Bicentennial Man —> Woman?
What’s Lindsay Wagner doing these days?
As brilliant as I may appear I will never have a statue effected to me because I enslaved both my toaster and blender.
Apparently slavery is allowed in Saudi Arabia. How else could a company own a citizen of a country?
