SoylentNews is people

The concept of AI—specifically of the foxy, sexualized persuasion—has permeated pop culture for a very long time, most recently exemplified with Alex Garland's Ex Machina.

Technology, as it is wont to do, continues surging forward, simultaneously beckoning or threatening (depending on personal outlook) the potential of true artificial intelligence. And should these AI rise up, what kind of role would sexuality and sexual identity play in their existence—if at all? Hopes&Fears corralled a group of varied experts to weigh in through a group panel discussion to see what the future holds for us, the AI... and our respective crotch parts.

What does the SoylentNews community think about this?

    Why did you sign your comment with the Nazi Schutzstaffel symbol

    He did not.

    He signed with U+2681, "High Voltage Sign", in reference to the potential danger of screwing a sex bot hooked up to mains through its charger.

    The relevant runic letter would be U+16CB, "Runic Letter Sigel Long-Branch-Sol S".

    Though I would guess somewhere on this planet deviants could be found that would love to mix ALL of the above.
