"Hanson, meanwhile, has said Sophia and its future robot kin will help seniors in elderly care facilities and assist visitors at parks and events."

Sounds an awful lot like how iRobot started

three laws.............

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

 

these can be interpreted in a pretty frightening way.

Scary, this company does some amazing stuff though.
