Sophia the Robot will either take care of grandma or give her a heart attack: Hanson Robotics plans to mass produce four models of its humanoid robot in 2021 and market them as a way to take care of the sick or elderly, reports Reuters. Sophia can communicate, give therapy and provide company to people during lockdown, the robot said itself.

It may be terrifying, but at least it’s not racist: Watch Sophia explain how tolerant it is (presumably as a preemptive defense against folks wanting to kill it with fire…) (watch, runtime: 4:37).
