Robotic sex partners could be a reality by 2025: Study

Washington, Aug. 16: Robotic sex partners will become commonplace by 2025, says a report that looks at how continuing improvements to artificial intelligence and robotics will impact society.

The 66-page report also focuses on how robotics will impact jobs in future. More than 50% of the experts consulted said that robots will displace more jobs than they create by 2025, reported extremetech.com.

The report, called AI, Robotics, and the Future of Jobs consists of a bunch of experts explaining what the world will look like in 2025 if robots and AI continue to advance at the same pace of the last few years.

Stowe Boyd, an expert from GigaOM Research, said, “Robotic sex partners will be a commonplace, although the source of scorn and division, the way that critics today bemoan selfies as an indicator of all that’s wrong with the world.”

These “sexbots” or “robostitutes” won’t necessarily have human-level intelligence but they’ll look, move, and feel a lot like humans. What effect these sexbots will have on human relationships, and human trafficking trades, remains to be seen.
