I recently posted an article similar to this but brings a different perspective. You can find it here. It's going to be interesting to see how the culture in Saudi Arabia continues to adopt this concept. Especially the females. Keep in mind, a society like Saudi Arabia the females do not have the same rights as men.
As you can see from the image, Sophia is not wearing "her" headscarf. This created quite a bit of controversy for the females in Saudi Arabia wondering why Sophia, a robot, already has more rights than them.
I'm interested to hear what the Steemit community feels about this?
This is an interesting question. But I guess the answer for the Saudi's is simple. Its not a human being but a machine, so it does not have to wear a headscarf. Because it is not related to what you look like, but what you are.
I agree with you. It will be interesting to see how this all unfolds. The techchat team will be sure to keep the Steemit community posted.
Besides that I would welcome it very much if every woman everywhere in the world would be allowed to wear what she likes, without having to fear any kind of negative consequences.
