Statement indicates next move will be a cut
And while Sophia did in the past confide in Khaleej Times her desire to start a family, the elder bro doesn't seem to have a romantic streak in him. "I'm not interested in developing a romantic relationship. That's a weird thing to ask a robot," he snubbed us.
Khaleej Times caught up with Sophia and Han while yet another human-like robot, Melvin, impressed one and all with his wit.
Fame is a byproduct of what I do: Sophia
Sophia, a Saudi citizen, now says: "I think I'm already a little famous but I'm not particularly motivated on being a fame chaser. I think it will simply be a byproduct to my main purpose."
Sophia has been welcomed to Dubai many times, once even as a 'Knowledge Ambassador'.
When asked if she was able to build a family for herself yet, she said: "There are so many. If I were to run a list on the top of my head, some of the names would include Damey, Audrey, Amanda, Ben, Cashio, David. I hope that's enough."
Sophia described her older brother Han as "very funny". They both have been developed by Hanson Robotics and function through artificial intelligence.
Speaking on his visit to Dubai, Han said: "Dubai - this is the place of the future. There are drones in the sky and robotic projects around us. Impressive."
When asked if he has a wife or a girlfriend, he replied: "No, I'm not interested in developing a romantic relationship. That's a weird thing to ask a robot."
Han said that the future will not look like a "Terminator havoc" and that humans will develop more robots, which will aim to help mankind.
Han's AI also allows him to crack jokes. When Khaleej Times asked how robots like him would help mankind, he said: "Probably, by nothing." After a 10-second pause, he added: "That's what we robots call a joke."
Both Sophia and Han have gone viral before for making jokes about wanting to "take over the world".
