CMA D. ARGOUDELIS & CO S.A. is thrilled to announce the exclusive participation of the world-famous artificial intelligence robot, Sophia, at the prestigious POSIDONIA Exhibition 2024. The event will take place from June 3rd to June 7th at the Metropolitan Expo area in Athens. Sophia will be present at our booth on Tuesday, June 4th, from 14:30 to 17:30, at Stand 1.159 in Hall No. 1, where CMA will unveil its latest cutting-edge products and solutions tailored for the Marine Industry.

Sophia’s appearance at the CMA booth will feature engaging activities including:

• Discussion Panel: Sophia will participate in a dynamic panel discussion with key industry executives, addressing the economics of the marine industry, the impact of AI in shipping and energy sectors, and future trends.
• Press Conference: Journalists from the marine and industry sectors will have the opportunity to interact with Sophia, asking her pertinent and topical questions.
• Visitor Interaction: Booth visitors will have the chance to engage with Sophia, experiencing her advanced social capabilities firsthand and discovering new surprises she has in store.

Sophia, the first “social robot,” is designed to mimic human social behaviors and evoke emotional responses. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, she continuously learns from her interactions, can mimic gestures, and express over 60 facial expressions. Her advanced AI platform allows her to evolve through experience, improving her interactions over time. Sophia can answer questions and engage in conversations on various topics, including the weather, and speaks flawlessly in 20 languages, including Greek.

Since her creation in 2016, Sophia has achieved numerous milestones, including receiving Saudi Arabian citizenship in 2017, making her the first robot to obtain legal personhood in any country. That same year, she was named the United Nations Development Programme’s first non-human Innovation Champion.

Sophia’s design aims to make her a valuable societal member, serving roles in nursing homes, assisting at large events, museums, parks, customer service, therapy, education, and academic research. Her goal is to achieve artificial wisdom, reflecting the philosophical roots of her name.

Join us at the CMA D. ARGOUDELIS & CO S.A. booth for an unforgettable experience with Sophia and discover our groundbreaking innovations for the marine industry.
