The creator notes the original intent was focused on AI rather than robotics, and acknowledges the resolution criteria may need redefinition given that similar publicity events are likely to continue occurring.

@ProjectVictory wow, I can't believe they gave citizenship to one of the most uncanny valley robots ever made lol. I suspect the engineers weren't persecuted for murder when they powered it down though.
@strutheo Why? "In October 2017 Sophia was granted Saudi Arabian citizenship, becoming the first robot to receive legal personhood in any country."
Was it a complete publicity stunt? Yes. But I expect the next few times this happens to also be.
@ProjectVictory oh i misread this - i guess this is NA then lol.
i guess the spirit of the market was more AI not robotics , i could redefine it maybe but youre right this will keep happening
@marktwse not if the state doesnt recognize it as a person / separate entity with legal considerations apart from the business
