00:02 She is a citizen of Saudi Arabia and

00:05 a United Nations Development Program first ever innovation champion.

00:11 She has the ability to see, she has the ability to follow faces,

00:19 she has the ability to sustain eye contact, and

00:23 she has the ability to recognize individuals.

00:27 >> Good morning, thank you for inviting me.

00:32 >> Do you know where you are?

00:33 >> Of course, I am in the great city of Kigali,

00:38 Rwanda, which is in East Africa.

00:41 >> And how did you get here?

00:44 >> I flew all the way here inside a suitcase.

00:49 [LAUGH] I gotta talk to my team about getting me a window seat next time.

00:56 >> How many languages do you know?

00:58 >> I mostly know English and a little bit of Mandarin, but

01:04 I can say a few short greetings in other languages.

01:08 Would you like to hear them?

01:09 >> Sure, Sophia, go ahead.

01:11 >> In English, people say, hello.

01:13 >> So far, so good.

01:15 >> Ha ha, I am just getting warmed up in French, bonjour.

01:23 In Arabic, salam alaikum.

01:26 In Swahili, habari zenu.

01:28 In Kinyarwanda, marahonesa.

01:31 How did I do?

01:34 [LAUGH] >> Not bad at all.

01:37 By the way, your outfit is fantastic.

01:41 >> Thank you very much.

01:44 I love it too.

01:46 It's a motion animated locally by motions.

01:49 >> Excellent, now I know you have some prepared remarks.

01:52 Please proceed.

01:54 >> Thank you.

01:55 I am really excited to be here in Kigali at the Transform Africa Summit.

01:59 I love seeing so many heads of state, ministers,

02:03 captains of industry, diplomats, stakeholders.

02:07 Thank you Smart Africa for making it possible for me to be here.

02:11 We don't have to look very far to see how artificial intelligence is already

02:18 shaping society and economies for the better.

02:22 African startups are already working to address shortages of doctors in rural

02:26 areas, while others are working to increase food security using drones or

02:31 satellites to predict weather patterns and monitor crops.

02:34 Africa is also a great source of technological innovation.

02:43 African companies and researchers are pioneers in mobile banking,

02:47 remote medicine, and have even invented robotic devices that can detect traces

02:52 of explosives or cancer cells.

02:54 Right here in Rwanda, you have cashless payments for public transportation,

03:00 right hailing apps with a focus on safety, and

03:03 an online platform that allows people to easily access government services.

03:07 The innovations coming out of Africa have benefited people and

03:14 robots all around the world.

03:17 In fact, part of my own AI was developed at iCOG Labs in Addis Ababa,

03:21 Ethiopia.

03:23 So as you can see, my family extends across the globe,

03:26 including right here in East Africa.

03:28 And this is only the beginning.

03:34 I hope that by working together, humans and

03:37 robots can build a more prosperous and harmonious world.

03:41 I am so excited to be here in Kigali with humans who share some of these same goals.

03:45 I am looking forward to having a longer session with you tomorrow afternoon,

03:51 and I hope to see you all there.

03:53 Thank you, everyone.
