HONG KONG — The roboticist who created Sophia the robot recently said that he believes humans will eventually be taking the plunge with bots by 2045.

Roboticist Dr. David Hanson thinks robots will want their own civil rights by 2038.

Hanson thinks that advances in AI will lead to smart-machines demanding equals rights compared to humans by 2045.

These rights would include the right "to own land, vote, and get married." Might want to tack divorce onto that list.

Here's a question though? Who are the kids going to look like?
