A humanoid robot named “Sophia,” developed by the Hong Kong based company Hanson Robotics, made an appearance at the Seoul Plaza Hotel in the Jung district of Seoul dressed in Korean traditional clothing (“hanbok”), much to the delight of audience members on Jan. 30. Rep. Park Young-sun from the Democratic Party exchanged pleasantries with Sophia, saying that the robot, “represented a new era where humans and robots co-exist.” She then took a young girl’s hand and helped her touch the robot. South Korean Minister of Science, ICT, and Future Planning said that Sophia’s visit to South Korea would increase public interest in artificial intelligence, a vital component of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
