Saudi Arabia became the world's first country to grant citizenship to a robot, by granting citizenship to Sophia, an Artificially Intelligent (AI) robot. The robot, Sophia, was awarded citizenship of Saudi Arabia at the Future Investment Initiative summit in Riyadh. Specific details of Sophia's citizenship were not discussed. Sophia was created by Dr. David Hanson, founder of Hanson Robotics. She has been designed to look like late American actress, Audrey Hepburn.
