Robotics is developing quite fast. All types of jobs, from 4th grade labour jobs like sweeping, sewage cleaning to intellect jobs like phone operators, auto workers, drafters, and some managers, are being replaced by humanoid robots. You won't notice the takeover until it affects your employment since it happens so gradually. What makes it further scarier is that it might also be our murderers. Okay, so maybe we are getting a little ahead of ourselves here, but you should definitely get used to the thought of being around them because it is extremely likely that within the next ten or so years they will be walking and living among us.
Artificial intelligence is developing quickly, as we described above, and robots are becoming to resemble humans more and more. For instance, consider Sophia, the newes and most humanoid robot from Hanson Robotics.
Sophia is a lifelike humanoid robot with porcelain skin, a narrow nose, high cheekbones, an alluring smile, and intensely expressive eyes that appear to change colour in response to the light. She has the ability to engage with people and make facial emotions that are human-like.
She made her debut in 2016 at the renowned interactive festival SXSW in Austin, where she displayed her 65 different facial expressions and expressed her surprisingly upbeat outlook on destroying all humanity.
Sophia was questioned, "Do you want to destroy humans?" by David Hanson, CEO of Hanson Robotics, during her demonstration, pleading with her to answer no. Sophia gleefully responded, "Okay, I will destroy humans."
If her admission of having violent intentions wasn't enough to give you nightmares, take a look at her facial expressions.

This was the Expression when Sophia Replied, “Okay, I will destroy humans.”
David Hanson, however, has claimed that Sophia and its future robot offspring will aid elders in nursing homes and assist with customer service for educational purposes in order to downplay what she actually stated. Hanson emphasised that AI Humaniods will someday be our buddies as well. "I think we'll see human-like robots here in 20 years."
Later on, Saudi Arabia has granted citizenship to an eyeless humanoid named Sophia, making her the first robot to ever do so. Sophia received the citizenship Felicitation in advance of the Future Investment Initiative, which took place on 25th October, 2017 in the capital of the country, Riyadh. In the Event, Sophia stated that, "I will do best to make the world a better place." and that she wanted to use its artificial intelligence to assist people "live a better life."
It might have been a technological error or a weakness in her chatbot script, but it unmistakably showed the AI's genuine motivations in regard to their human creators.
