Manage episode 435560569 series 3341547
Would you have sex with a robot?
It’s not an outlandish question – at least not to a growing number of people who are interested in high tech intimacy.
According to philosopher Neil McArthur, millions of people around the world are already having relationships – and not just with robots – but with chatbots and other forms of A.I.
And AI is rapidly evolving and becoming more and more sophisticated and human-like in its thinking. So could our deepest and most meaningful relationships be with A.I. partners?
What would this mean for the future of human relationships? Will we still need each other?
