Citizenship awarded to a Robot !!!
Sophia is one of the First Robot in the history to be awarded a Citizenship.
It is a surprise that Saudi Arabia is the country to award that Citizenship.
The Country which still lags behind in gender equality.
The Country where the women cannot go outside without an Abaya (Full body covering) and a male guardian.
Sophia neither had a male guardian nor wore an Abaya during the press meet. It is a shame to see that Sophia has more freedom than a Saudi Arabian woman in their country.
