Today I was reading an interesting style website and they report that analyses:

Robot love (related to transformation, net narcissism and more…)
As they say:
“Robots are being used to assist humans, from household routine to psychological and emotional support…” and then
“Market forces will push the acceptance of robot relationships…”

To illustrate this article, is mentioned a recent book

“Love and Sex with Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships”
By David Levy
Publisher: Gerald Duckworth & Co Ltd (10 April 2008)

So you can check this link as I did.






“Robot Love

“David Levy, an expert on Artificial Intelligence, comes to the ICA to make the controversial argument that we are headed inexorably towards a society where human affection and human desire are extended into psychological and physical relationships with robots. Love and sex with robots, he argues, is only a natural extension of the relationships, which we have already cultivated, first with pets, then with virtual pets, then with virtual avatars in Second Life.

“DAVID LEVY is an internationally recognized expert on artificial intelligence. He is president of the International Computer Games Association and in 1997 led the team that won the Loebner Prize - the world championship for conversational computer software. He is also the author of Robots Unlimited. He lives in London.

“David Levy shows how automata have evolved into the electronic androids of the modern age, and how human interactions with technology have changed over the years. He explores the reasons why we fall in love, form emotional attachments to animals and virtual pets, and how these same attachments will extend to love for robots. He also examines sexual fulfillment through relationships with objects, tracking the development of life-sized dolls, machines, and other sexual devices, and demonstrating how society’s ideas about what constitutes normal sex have changed, and will continue to change, as sexual technology becomes increasingly sophisticated.

‘My thesis is this: Robots will be hugely attractive to humans as companions because of their many talents, senses, and capabilities. They will have the capacity to fall in love with humans and to make themselves romantically attractive and sexually desirable to humans. Robots will transform human notions of love and sexuality… Love and sex with robots on a grand scale is inevitable. This book explains why."
