A robot woman in Saudi Arabia was granted citizenship this week. She appeared onstage at an economic summit without the abaya cloak and head covering required of Saudi women. Sophia the robot, made by Hanson Robotics, is the first human-like being operating with artificial intelligence to be given symbolic citizenship by any country. That triggered a social media backlash that challenged Sophia’s elevated status while millions of human female citizens and foreigners living in the kingdom are denied many of the rights enjoyed by Saudi men.
