[NetEase smart news August 14 news] sex robot consumption target only men?

Many sex robots that have appeared in science fiction novels have gradually begun to receive attention in the real world with the development of artificial intelligence. Unlike lifeless sex toys, sex robots can "lively" show the perfect combination of silicone materials and high-tech knots, realistically simulating human activities. At the same time, artificial intelligence is implanted in the robot's mechanical brain to mimic human conscious behavior. It can be seen that sex robots are very close to real-life partners and are not just used as human-sized replicas. Not only do they respond to human behaviors, but they can also gradually become accustomed to human life through machine learning. Habits and adapt.

But where are women's sex robots?

Very simple: No. Although several companies claim to be developing male robots, there is no evidence to prove this. At first glance, this may not seem surprising, especially in an industry that has been criticized for depicting and materializing women. However, the scale of the S&T market is huge and it is said to be about US$30 billion. We expect at least one thing to be produced for women. Even if only a small percentage of women are interested in this technology, this small cake still has a broad market prospect.

According to evidence in other areas of the adult industry, quite a few women, like men, are interested in these new technologies. Studies have shown that even sex toys can lead to breaks in relationships. This also means a huge potential market for untapped sex robots.

Why are only male sex robots? Technology products are mainly manufactured by men and generally serve men as well. Smartphones often make uncomfortable women with smaller hands, especially some of the latest, large-size phones. The design of the car takes into account the safety of men, and seat belts and airbags may not protect women. The new artificial heart is only suitable for 20% of women, while for men, this rate is as high as 86%.

The fact that sex robots rely on the development of artificial intelligence also exacerbates the current problem: Artificial intelligence is notorious for gender bias, and it is also true in the technology industry. Microsoft researcher Kate Crawford condemned this in the New York Times column as the "ethnic issue" of the artificial intelligence version. Marguerite M., a former researcher who worked at Microsoft. Margaret Mitchell described artificial intelligence as "a world of men." So it's no surprise that sex robots are largely developed for heterosexual men.

This robot model gives people a default illusion, which leads to ethical issues. A report by the "Responsible Robot Foundation" shows that people have the question: Will sexual robots pose a threat to women? Should we allow the existence of "can rape" robots? What about children's robots?

"The sex robot we see is just the evolution of sexual dolls," Devlin explained. "We can play very high-end technology. Sex robots are going down the path of high-simulation humans." She thinks that such an exploration route is biased. Because of the "Horror Valley Theory", we feel an indescribable sense of terror when interacting with realistic robots. She thinks that many people will not want such an interaction because robots are only mechanical and silicone in their subconscious mind. Because of this, Devlin believes that the current direction of production of sex robots is "doomed to failure."

Instead of just trying to replicate real people to satisfy our desires, we should be more creative. Although the research and development of sex robots are aimed mainly at straight men, more extensive products such as applications, digital content and sex toys are more inclusive. Male sex toys are usually modeled on reality, and sex toys for women need to be more diverse in creation. So Devlin believes that the key to changing this market is to imagine sex robots as "solid, interactive sex toys." Perhaps women do not want sex robots.

However, this area is still quite taboo. It is thorny to open up the diversity of discussions. Despite this, she is still optimistic. "In science and technology, diversity and equality are absolutely terrible, not only in terms of employment, but also in technology itself." Let us continue to work hard to change this.
