She also addressed the speculations concerning technology to be a "threat" to civilisation, by saying, "It is science which created me, but philosophy will take me forward". She answered twenty questions out of the hundreds that were received by Techfest슬롯사이트s three-day #AskSophia campaign on Facebook and Twitter.

Sophia also informed about striving to learn several other languages than English. 슬롯사이트I am not even two years old, so forgive me if I speak only in English right now. Someday, I will be fluent in all languages.슬롯사이트�

Sophia is undoubtedly a smart robot and she is here to stay!
