Saudi Arabia granted citizenship to Sophia – a robot – making it the first robot to receive such a status.

The humanoid robot was awarded citizenship and attended the Future Investment Initiative, taking part in a Q&A.

"I am very honored and proud of this unique distinction," Sophia said, according to a report in Business Insider. "This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with a citizenship."

Sophia responded to questions, mostly regarding its status as a humanoid and concerns people may have about the future of a world potentially run by robots. To one question about how to "prevent a bad future," Sophia responded: "You've been reading too much Elon Musk and watching too many Hollywood movies."

"Don't worry, if you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. Treat me as a smart input-output system," Sophia said.

However, in March 2016, Sophia's creator, David Hanson, asked it at a live demonstration, "Do you want to destroy humans? Please say no." Sophia responded: "OK, I will destroy humans," the Mirror reported.

Hanson has said, however, Sophia and future humanoid robots like it, will help seniors and direct visitors at parks and events, Business Insider reported. Sophia agreed with those sentiments at this event, saying it wanted to help humans "live a better life" and "make the world a better place."
