Sophia, the most advanced robot and first artificially intelligent (AI) robot to be granted a citizenship, visited Egypt’s Creative Industry Summit that was held on April 17, 18 2018.

Sophia became the first Android citizen in history when she was granted the Saudi Arabian citizenship.

With many recognizing that the creative industry and the AI industry is a boom to the global economy, and has much to offer to the Egyptian economy, there has been a move towards formalizing it since the launch of the Creative Industry Summit in 2014.

Organized by Idea Bakers and The Worx, leaders in event organizing and e-marketing, the summit focuses on the latest developments in the advertising, marketing and design fields in Egypt and the Arab world.

The famed Robot underwent an exclusive interview broadcast on DMC channel in April of 2018, amid her visit to Egypt to attend the summit, where she was hosted by Osama Kamal’s “Masa’ DMC” program.
