Diego Gonzalez mentions in his Ted Talk
a study done by two researchers on how
people would react to an abandoned car
in the middle of a city. The researchers
left a car with nothing wrong with it on
the side of the road, and a few weeks
later they came back to see if anything
was messed with, but nothing was wrong
with it. They then broke a window and
left some scratches to see if people
would react to the abandoned car. A few
weeks later the researchers came back
and noticed that the car had more
scratches, broken windows and a couple
of paintings on it. When the car was
sitting there abandoned, but not broken
into, people weren’t phased by it. But,
when something happened to it, people
began to follow along by also breaking
windows or scratching it up. Graffiti can
have a positive affect on people, but it
can also have negative effects.

Only God's hand holds the gates of this hold open
I look to the sky and cry, "why do I gotta keep up with all this hoping?"
The calling is soft to the ear, my emotional response too profound to touch,
Can I ask, "is it fine to touch you where you're coarsest?"
Take my freedom, lose your corset
Have I begun to sound coarse yet?
Heave I, begot a son out my gut, a chip off the old block
I spit and I choke, my breath is soot and smoke,
My stomach used to be rock, then I emptied it dry of the words I spoke
I mistook when I talk, the words I said, then I walk
Your heart is a lock and mine tongue key
I keep talking
The musical, the whimsical, the dizzying, confusing all,
For what sake but to forsake all sensibility
I delve my sensitivity
I run at super-speed or is it that time waits on me?
Surely, I feel the weight of it
My train of thought a bullet but my apologies came too late
Enough said, there's always plenty over which to feel sad

The character of Sophia captures the
imagination of global audiences. She is the
world’s first robot citizen and the first robot
Innovation Ambassador for the United
Nations Development Programme. Sophia is
now a household name, with appearances on
the Tonight Show and Good Morning Britain,
in addition to speaking at hundreds of
conferences around the world.
Sophia is also a framework for cutting edge
robotics and AI research, particularly for
understanding human-robot interactions and
their potential service and entertainment
applications. For example, she has been used
for research as part of the Loving AI project,
which seeks to understand how robots can
adapt to users’ needs through intra and
interpersonal development.
I am Hanson Robotics’ latest human-like
robot, created by combining our innovations
in science, engineering and artistry. Think of
me as a personification of our dreams for the
future of AI, as well as a framework for
advanced AI and robotics research, and an
agent for exploring human-robot experience
in service and entertainment applications.
In some ways, I am human-crafted science
fiction character depicting where AI and
robotics are heading. In other ways, I am real
science, springing from the serious
engineering and science research and
accomplishments of an inspired team of
robotics & AI scientists and designers. In
their grand ambitious, my creators aspire to
achieve true AI sentience. Who knows? With
my science evolving so quickly, even many of
my wildest fictional dreams may become
reality someday soon.
