SingularityNET (AGI) : Sophia Guest at the Africa Blockchain Conference 2019
TechInAfrica — The Africa Blockchain Conference 2019 is scheduled to take place for two days starting from tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. As confirmed by Kwame Rugunda, the Chairman of the Blockchain Association of Uganda, Sophia the Robot will be the honorable guest of the event. The event will kick off at the Serena Hotel in Kampala, Uganda under the theme “Africa 4.0: Preparing Africa for the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR).
The African Blockchain Conference 2019 will bring together experts, panelists, and industry leaders to sit together and discuss a range of topics, including Africa’s readiness for the 4th Industrial Revolution, fintech, blockchain, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, robotics, drones, and other emerging technologies.
Coming as the special guest of the event, Sophia is an AI robot developed by a humanoid robotics company, Hanson Robotics which is based in Hong Kong. She was first activated in 2016 and is a Saudi Arabian citizen. Her citizenship status is the first in the world achieved by a robot.
Sophia has made her appearances in public several times, including at South by Southwest Festival — which was her first public appearance — on TV shows and interviews, even on YouTube. She even has been on international media headlines multiple times.
Sophia uses Artificial Intelligence (AI), visual data processing, facial and voice recognition. She can make human gestures and show more than 50 different facial expressions. In additions, she is able to answer certain questions and make simple conversations on predefined topics.
Some reports say that Sophia’s intelligence is designed to keep improving over time. As she is programmed to analyze conversations and extract data, her responses will also be improved in the future.
The SingularityNet AGI begins the greatest age of progress and exploration in the history of artificial intelligence. We can put together many pieces of smart AI technology into super systems increasing complexity and stability. It provides a framework for safety and transparency and Argos. While providing privacy for people’s personal data. Right now there’s no platform anywhere in the world that it’s specifically designed to make it easy for different Ai’s to communicate with each other to share data with each other. To make requests of each other to compensate each other for their work. To rate each other and as to how well they did different things. Sophia is a good platform for bringing together the technologies with artificial intelligence using SingularityNET AGI has a kind of networking protocol the AI code is there free and open source.
