Saudi Arabia Becomes First Nation To Grant Citizenship To Humanoid Robot (foxbusiness.com)

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday October 26, 2017 @05:25AM from the up-next dept.

Saudi Arabia became the first country in the world to offer citizenship to a humanoid robot, but Brad Keywell, CEO of Uptake, a predictive analytics technology company, told FOX Business on Thursday artificial intelligence (AI) will not replace humans anytime soon. From a report: "Humans are made super-human through the intelligence that can be derived from these sensors and there is a clear argument that's made about the possibility that there will be no humans, there'd be just autonomous everything... but this is something that has historically involved humans and I just don't see that changing," he told Maria Bartiromo on "Mornings with Maria." Uptake's products are used in a collection of industries ranging from energy to aviation, helping "people and machines work better and faster," according to the company website.

So... AI can vote now? by Elixon · 2017-10-26 05:58 · Score: 4, Interesting

Is it a new trick how to program new citizens to ensure that totalitarian dynasty will never be ousted?
You know... it is so easy to clone new citizens by just one key press in case the real ones decide to vote for somebody else...

Is the robot required to be Muslim? AFAIK non-Muslims are not allowed to hold Saudi citizenship.
