Highlight :
* Her appearance is part of the conference's efforts to highlight the role of AI in the future of the auditing industry
* Sophia, modeled after British actress Audrey Hepburn, Egyptian queen Nefertiti
and its inventor's wife, Amanda Hanson, was given Saudi citizenship in October 2017.
Sophia, the world's first robot to be granted citizenship, will be in Dubai on March 8 for the Annual Regional Audit Conference. The social humanoid will participate in a discussion about the future of artificial intelligence.
According to the UAE Internal Auditors Association, Sophia's participation is part of the conference's efforts to highlight the role of AI
in the future of the auditing industry. Sophia was created by Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics.
"The organisers facilitated Sophia's presence at the smart conference as a symbol of the future of artificial intelligence," according to the association.
Various industries are increasingly embracing AI applications that significantly streamline and automate processes, whether autonomously or with the assistance of humans.
Investing in AI improves audit quality and lowers fees, according to a study conducted by the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business.
It does, however, acknowledge that technology will eventually displace human auditors, though the impact on labor will take several years to manifest.
