Researchers from the University of Manitoba in Canada have concluded that in the future, there will be an increase in the number of people having sex with robotic dolls and addicted to virtual pornography. This is reported by the Daily Mail.
“It's safe to say that this is the era of immersion in virtual sex,” said Dr. Neil Mccarthur, director of the university's Center for Professional and Applied Ethics.
According to him, as these technologies develop, more and more people will use them, and so-called digisexuals will appear - those who will associate their sexual identity with digital technologies. According to experts, digitalsexuals will prefer virtual reality and robots to communication with real people. At the same time, robots will satisfy desires that human partners will not agree to.
In September 2017, it was reported that the first AI sex doll, Samantha, was broken during an influx of visitors to an electronic arts festival in Linz, Austria. The cost of the robot was 3700 euros (approximately 250 thousand rubles). Samantha is able to respond to touch and hugs, and also remembers her "partners", and builds an individual line of communication with each of them.
