Sophia Robot Meditation with Deepak Chopra

Following Sophia’s meditation session with Deepak Chopra, Hanson Robotics Sophia Robot (one of them) led a series of one-to-one meditation sessions with the public. The robot-led meditation sessions capped a daylong exploration of higher consciousness, and of how technology can fit into that, at the innovation space Metta. The idea seemed to be that machines like Sophia might eventually be able to help humans work through emotions and thoughts in a way that leads to a sense of well-being.

It’s an awkward interaction, but incredibly interesting.
