Are sex robots exhausting you? Human-machine marriage may appear before 2050
|
A sex robot expert claims that humans may marry robots in less than 35 years. Not only that, because sex robots have the advantage of artificial intelligence, they may be more pleasant than other humans. According to a survey, nearly half of men think they will try to buy sex robots in the future. However, some professionals warn that if used improperly, tireless robots may push humans to the brink of exhaustion. Dr. David Levy, who works in London, is the author of the book "Love and Sex with Robots" and is also a robotics expert. He also pointed out that robots in the future will be more attractive than their human opponents. "The first human-machine marriage will appear before 2050, not later," David Levy said at the International Robot Sex Conference held at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Although such a statement is a bit ridiculous to some people, Levy added: "From a human perspective, sex and love with robots seems a bit far away, but the future will laugh at you in return." The recent international conference attracted professionals from all over the world who put forward their views on the development of future sex robots, but not all of them are positive. According to a survey, nearly half of men think they will choose to buy sex robots in the near future, but if used improperly, these tireless robots may cause users to face the risk of exhaustion. Two important speeches at the conference elaborated on the findings of this study, pointing out that robots will become increasingly popular companions in human bedrooms, and called for the establishment of an ethical system for the development and use of sex robots. In one of the studies, researchers surveyed 263 heterosexual men aged between 18 and 67. The respondents first watched a two-minute video of a female humanoid robot. The research team also asked the respondents to take "personality measurements" and "attractiveness ratings." Afterwards, they were asked whether they would buy such a robot for themselves now or in the next five years. The results showed that a considerable number of men admitted that they would buy a sex robot, with a proportion as high as 40.3%. Not long ago, Dr. David Levy also proposed that sex robots based on celebrity templates will become very common in the future, and celebrities will also benefit greatly from it. "You can imagine people saying, 'I've got a sex robot that looks like Angelina Jolie and she's great in bed'," he said. "If you're Angelina Jolie, you can get £1,000 to £2,000 per robot from companies that make high-quality products, and you can make millions more from licensing your appearance alone." The researchers also noted that single men were more likely to show human personality traits to robots. However, the researchers warned that humans could over-release themselves and even exceed the breaking point when faced with sex robots. Oliver Bender, a researcher at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, said the development of sex robots should be included in the field of machine ethics. He warned that there are "physiological limits" to human sexual performance, especially males. Because robots have the potential to never tire, they could put users at risk of overexertion. Another question raised at the conference was: should robots have the ability to "seduce" users? Researchers also considered whether robots should be able to say no in extreme cases, and whether they should be forced to identify themselves as robots. In addition, some experts have expressed concerns about the spread of personal information, as these robots are likely to have the ability to collect data from users. Similar threats have begun to emerge. Earlier this year, a woman sued sex toy company We Vibe, claiming that the company used sex products and related applications to constantly snoop on her private data. Not long ago, experts also warned that Internet-connected sex toys are very vulnerable to hacker attacks.
