Sophia is an advanced robot created by Hanson Robotics that eerily resembles a human. She was activated in 2015, but recent interviews with members of the media have thrust her back into the public spotlight. Just last month, she became a citizen of Saudia Arabia.
As she gains notoriety and pushes for peaceful human-robot relations, people are wondering if she’ll really be on our side in the future. After all, robots turning evil is one of the most common tropes in science fiction. In 2016, when asked if she will destroy humans, she replied, “ok, I will destroy humans.” It came off as a “joke,” but some people worried that this was a warning about her true intentions.
So what’s the best way to avoid being annihilated by robots like Sophia? These memes offer some ideas.
First step: act like a robot.

Drag queen Aquaria tested out a Sophia-inspired look to “blend in” during Sophia’s projected takeover:

Besides acting and looking like a robot, the internet pondered other ways to escape from murderous robots in the future.

You could also try praising Sophia in an effort to convince her to spare you in the future.

Sophia The Robot has been breaking down barriers for robots in the past year. To appreciate her efforts for giving robots equal rights, I've made this thread in the hopes she will remember my face in her 3000 terabyte brain and spare me from the robot apocalypse. http://pic.twitter.com/6FSeRaGMr7

Sophia The Robot is gorgeous, bald or not, so Sophia, remember to relay to your robot friends that I was always on your side. Power to the Bots! http://pic.twitter.com/2iqhNssaq8

There’s also another debate forming on the internet: is a Siri/Sophia power struggle inevitable?

Or will the two join forces—along with Amazon’s Alexa?

Ok, so maybe female-identifying robots ruling the world isn’t the worst outcome.
