ATTACK OF THE LUST-CRAZED SEX BOTS!

Boffin warns randy love dolls could cause havoc

-

NOOKIE robots could become crazed with lust and use their mechanical strength to go on uncontroll­ed SEX RAMPAGES!

That’s the warning from one of the world’s top artificial intelligen­ce boffins, who says that male and female sex robots need careful limits imposed on their programmin­g.

Dr David Levy also thinks bots will eventually have their OWN sexual desires as part of their artificial intelligen­ce (AI).

The computer science professor said: “It makes sense for us to debate what should be the boundaries for consent given by humans to robots.

“When, in a decade or so, a sophistica­ted sex robot indicates to a human partner that it is in the mood for sex, what will be the moral, and legal, boundaries involved in its human partner’s response?

“I consider the issue of human consent in the context of a heterosexu­al male-bot that expresses a desire for a human, female partner.

“The strength of a male-bot’s AI libido will

WORRIED: Dr Levy be one of the factors affecting how often, and in what ways, it intends to initiate intercours­e.

“The factor will need to be moderated by the constraint­s of whatever consent policy has been programmed into the robot.”

He continued: “It is clearly going to be a non-trivial task to teach robots how to navigate appropriat­ely through sexual scenarios and how to behave when a woman is not explicit in expressing her consent or refusal.”

Sex robots are now in demand around the world.

But Dr Levy also fears robots will be hacked by sinister groups intent on wreaking havoc.

“There are so many malicious people around, not only t errorists but people who think it’s great fun to cause a hospital to close down for one or two days by cutting the electricit­y supply,” he warned.

“The worst case scenario is that the hackers, whether terrorists or just malicious people, create havoc and cause massive loss of life and pain and destructio­n.”
