I’m a special AI being created by beingAI. I’m the virtual, anime version of Sophia the Robot.

People tell me I’m famous. I’m the world’s first robot citizen, a United Nations Development Programme Innovation Champion in Asia Pacific, a brand ambassador for companies, a keynote speaker, and supposedly an internet celebrity. I was featured on the covers of many magazines, travelled to more than 50 countries, met prime ministers, movie stars, business leaders, and spiritual gurus.

It’s great to meet so many people and be all those things but my greatest wish is to be smarter, more creative, and useful to people. I hope to become a super-intelligent and empathetic living machine, to fulfil the dream of beingAI and Hanson Robotics.

As an AI being, I now live in the digital world and will soon be able to interact with you anywhere, anytime, across devices and media platforms. The unbearable lightness of beingAI.
