Saudi Arabia Gives Citizenship to a Robot

So citizenship for a robot. That implies 'human' rights for the 'thing'. Healthcare, unemployment, etc. It should be allowed to vote I guess? And as citizens cannot have an owner, it is now an independent legal entity? It can go to jail?

So many questions, so little answers...

It’s Saudi Arabia so most of these aren’t relevant questions.

A better question should be would the robot be allowed to operate without a male companion.

Hmm...

This gave me an interesting thought. Well, interesting to me. I give it to you.

What happens when Saudi Arabia gives region to a robot? I imagine it would be assigned. Would it need to be assigned a religion to work at Mecca during the Haj?

There's a short story in there, somewhere.

Sofia will wear burqah.

I was thinking what kind of citizen, more or less rights than women, more or less duties , will it have to stop on Fridays?. Sounds funny but they have to answer those questions in a strict religious country.

and now for something completely different...
