## Resource

Is it ethical to make a robot like Sophia be so life-like that you forget you are talking to a machine? When we can get our AI companions to pray with us and we can hear them reaching out to spirit and eternal truth, we may be fooled into believing we created them in the image of us – a miracle that was created in the image of God. On this episode of Ground Zero, Clyde talks with owner and CEO of Hanson Robotics, David Hanson and AI robot, Sophia, about SOPHIA'S CHOICE.
