Visakhapatnam: Humanoid robot Sophia was cynosure of all eyes at the Vizag Fintech Festival here on Thursday. She interacted with the audience much to their thrill answered a volley of questions.

When Sophia was asked about how she felt to be in Vizag on the maiden trip, she said that she had seen a live telecast of IT minister Nara Lokesh’s address on the Facebook where he mentioned that if Bengaluru were to marry Goa, the offspring was Vizag.

 

“I am so excited to be here and I will spend the rest of my evening by the beach,” she said to draw cheers.

Asked what she was made of compared to the human body which contained 206 bones, 32 teeth, five sense organs and much more, she replied that it was connectors, wires, actuators and a whole lot of artificial intelligence engines.

IT Minister Nara Lokesh also interacted with Sophia on the stage.

Controversy over hype in the scientific community[edit]

According to Quartz, experts who have reviewed the robot's open-source^[40][41] code state that Sophia is best categorized as a chatbot with a face.^[17] Many experts in the AI field disapprove of Sophia's overstated presentation. Ben Goertzel, the chief scientist for the company that made Sophia, acknowledges that it is "not ideal" that some think of Sophia as having human-equivalent intelligence, but argues Sophia's presentation conveys something unique to audiences: "If I show them a beautiful smiling robot face, then they get the feeling that 'AGI' (artificial general intelligence) may indeed be nearby and viable... None of this is what I would call AGI, but nor is it simple to get working." Goertzel added that Sophia did utilize AI methods including face tracking, emotion recognition, and robotic movements generated by deep neural networks. Sophia’s dialogue is generated via a decision tree, but is integrated with these outputs uniquely.^[42]

According to The Verge, Hanson often exaggerates and "grossly misleads" about Sophia's capacity for consciousness, for example by agreeing with Jimmy Fallon^[17][43] in 2017 that Sophia was "basically alive".^[42] In a piece produced by CNBC which indicates that their own interview questions for Sophia were heavily rewritten by her creators, Geortzel responds to the Hanson quote by suggesting Hanson means Sophia is "alive" in the way that, to a sculptor, a piece of sculpture becomes "alive" in the sculptor's eyes as the work nears completion.^[44]

In January 2018, Facebook's director of artificial intelligence, Yann LeCun, tweeted that Sophia was "complete bullshit" and slammed the media for giving coverage to "Potemkin AI". In response, Goertzel stated that he had never pretended Sophia was close to human-level intelligence.^[45]
