The technology is great! I can think of many uses for it: decoy security guards, scarecrows, animated mannequins for retailers, amusement park attractions, movie stunt doubles, and animated museum exhibits, to name a few.

But, the creators, operators, and owners must take care in how these machines are described and presented to an audience or user. Sophia is a MACHINE, no matter how much programming, a machine is not a living, thinking, male or female.

People can be weak-minded, and some people will use these robots for nefarious purposes. However, I think the overall good far outweighs the bad. I look forward to the fun of it!
