RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi's first robot citizen head was taken from her body today at the public square in Riyadh.
Saudi made history recently by being the first country to grant citizenship to Robot and Sophia was the first to be granted such legal status.
Unfortunately, Sophia is also the first Robot citizen to be beheaded at the public square in Riyadh after some band of angry Saudi men dragged her into the streets for public execution.
The crowd first began by stoning her, but finding her carbon fiber exoskeleton was durable enough to withstand the stones and it did little damage to her, they then tied a chain around her neck and the other end to a trailer hitch, driving her through the streets until her head became separated from her body and afterwards attempted to rape her headless body.
A survey shows 79% of Saudi Arabian men approve of the execution, along with 100% of American men named Elon Musk . Women were forbidden from participating in the survey.
According to Duffelblog While many men applauded the beheading, her designer lamented the outcome.
“It’s unfortunate that female robots are treated as second-class citizens in Saudi Arabia,” said David Hanson, owner of Hanson Robotics. “I long for the day when female robots can walk freely in Saudi Arabia, expressing their individuality, without fear of retaliation.”
Hanson speculated that Saudi Arabia’s culture isn’t quite ready to embrace such citizens, and vowed to make future robots more compatible with Sharia Law.
“My next robot will be a Roomba wearing a burqa,” said Hanson. “That should be roughly equivalent in functionality to what is currently permissible for women in Saudi Arabia.”
