This is Sophia. Sophia is a robot. Sophia recently told her handler (?) that she would destroy humans. I believe her.

Sophia, as CNBC showed in this recent video, was created to help in the fields of education and customer service. She can "read" your expression with cameras in her eyes, and she can adjust her own expression to react and make eye contact. And yeah, she's totally going to destroy humans.

As her creators note, facial expressions are an important part of humanizing interpersonal communication, and talking to people is Sophia's primary function. That, right after destroying humans.

But before we get to total destruction of the human race via Sophia robot horde, we might manufacture our own mechanical destruction.

The New York Timesreports that in five years, Ford will have a fleet of self-driving cars—no brake pedal, no gas pedal, no steering wheel—ready to go and on the roads for ride-hailing purposes. Which is useful, but also not yet safe, as Tesla knows.

Sophia—or her model, at least—will be up for sale as early as 2017. The Ford driverless cars will be ready by 2021. Maybe Sophia can hail a driverless car to chauffeur her along on her human-destroying mission. That would be cool.
