Original title: the popularity of sex robot experts warn that it will 'change human nature forever'
According to foreign media reports, a computer scientist claimed in a recent documentary that sex robots will forever change human nature because they make sex too easy to obtain.
In the documentary sex robots and us, computer scientist Noel Sharkey warned that the growing number of sex robots would do harm to society. He said the robots would make sex 'too easy' and thus' totally change human nature '.
Noel & middot; shaggy, a professor of artificial intelligence and robotics at the University of Sheffield in the UK, is still working for the foundation of responsible robotics. He has previously warned about the dangers of sex robots.
Computer scientist Noel & middot; Shaji warned in the documentary that the increasing number of sex robots will do harm to society.
Despite all the worries, sex robots have become a lucrative business.
Samantha is one of the most real sex robots. She has multiple sensors that respond to human contact. Samantha also has two models: the 'sexy' model and the 'home' model. According to the report, Noel & middot; Shaji mentioned the potential hazards that might arise if paedophiles acquire robots similar to children's, as well as rapists participate in robot interactions that say 'no'. In sex robots and us, he pointed out the terrible consequences that sex robot technology could have on society. 'we use machines to do these things just because we can, without considering that it might completely change human nature. Some people have suggested that sex robots can make people feel that sex is "too easy" and that they can have sex at any time. It's going to make our lives meaningless and turn us into zombies, 'says Noel & middot; Shaji.
However, regardless of the potential harm, sex robots have become a lucrative business. According to a report released at the end of 2017, more than a quarter of millennials are happy to have intimate relationships with robots. The study, conducted by Havas, a Paris based media company, claims that 27% of people aged 18 to 34 would like the relationship. The study also points out that men are three times more likely to have intimate relationships with robots than women.
In addition, in another 2017 study, researchers from the University of Manitoba, Canada, highlighted the rise of 'digital gender' individuals, who prefer to build close relationships with robots over others. Researcher Neil McArthur explains that as robots are used more and more in romantic situations, more and more people will be identified as' digital genders'.
"Many people will find that their experience of using this technology is indispensable to their gender identity, and some prefer sex robots to direct sexual intercourse with humans," MacArthur said. Just last year, the first doll only brothel appeared in Germany.
Sex robots are legal in brothels in Germany and Austria. According to a study published in January this year, as many as one in five Germans said they would like to buy sex robots.
At present, about five companies around the world are producing sex robots, and their products sell for about $5400 to $15000. The market is almost entirely male dominated. Sex robots are becoming more and more real, but scientists say it may take about 50 years for them to behave like human partners.
Sex robots in science fiction
For a long time, sex robots have been part of science fiction, and are often used to show the evil side of technology. However, with the development of intelligent sex robots with more realistic appearance, they have rapidly become a part of real life.
The emergence of intelligent sex robots, such as' silicon Samantha 'and' harmony ', has inspired many people's creative ideas, depicting similar plots in popular science novels. In the 2015 movie ex machina, the mysterious billionaire Nathan & middot; Bateman (played by Oscar & middot; ISAAC) and his intelligent robot AVA (played by Alicia & middot; vikant) have cold-blooded and cool sex. However, EVA finally laughs to the end. She kills Nathan and successfully escapes, living secretly in the human world.
In the American TV series west world, Thandie Newton plays a brothel receptionist who is often killed by guests during sex and then returned to work in the west world after maintenance.
Anita is a home-based babysitter robot in the British drama "human beings", but her male owner started her sex program, and his wife was disgusted when she found out. Another robot in the show, Niska, plays the role of a prostitute and later kills a customer.
In the movie blade killer, pris, one of the robots of the basic entertainment model, becomes a cruel and cold-blooded killer.
Sometimes, however, humans are the biggest villains. In the movie AI directed by Steven Spielberg, gigolo Joe, a sex robot, is designed to murder and then be killed. (Ren Tian)
