Ouch!
During her live appearance, an Interviewer asked Sophia about the dangers of Ai… in response she said..

Elon Musk has warned about the dangers of Ai ( Artificial Intelligence)
Which prompted Elon Musk to tweet this..
He implied that if you input “The Godfather”, a terribly violent film, into Sophia’s system it could become dangerous.
Just feed it The Godfather movies as input. What’s the worst that could happen? https://t.co/WX4Kx45csv
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 26, 2017
Which prompted another set of reactions…and STILLL ONGOING..
Good Question

Some fresh perspective…
I think I am more worried about evil humans abusing their power over others than I am an AI. Power + Money is much more scary, these days.
— Al Carpenter (@Loregold) October 26, 2017
Sophia is already TOO human..
Just feed it The Godfather movies as input. What’s the worst that could happen? https://t.co/WX4Kx45csv
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 26, 2017
Sophie now needs a Russian citizenship..
Just feed it The Godfather movies as input. What’s the worst that could happen? https://t.co/WX4Kx45csv
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 26, 2017
More ideas…
It doesn’t matter. They’ve been shown not to work at all once a robot approaches general human intelligence levels

@elonmusk thank you for your efforts to draw attention for the need to regulate AI. Please don’t relent and keep reminding everyone!

The END for Sophie or us
Sophia is powered by robotics and artificial intelligence technology
and designed to look like actress Audrey Hepburn. She
can copy all kinds of human expression and grasp emotions through interactions
too.
