Sex Robots could be Hacked to Kill Owners

Artificial intelligence is poised for a breakthrough in business applications, such as robotics and autonomous vehicles, computer vision, language, virtual agents, and machine learning. The sex doll industry leaders too, have unveiled their latest gambit to rule the market with a move towards artificial intelligent sexual robots and launch the first mass-market robotic erotic partner..

Cyber security expert, Dr. Nick Patterson, recently brought into the open his concerns about these AI sex robots, warning that hackers could take control of these synthetic partners and turn them into deadly killing machines. “Hackers can hack into a robot or a robotic device and have full control of the connections, arms, legs and other attached tools like in some cases knives or welding devices,” he declared. Elon Musk has previously voiced about killer robot armies, describing artificial intelligence advancement as “summoning a demon.”

It is true that neither nuclear weapons nor global warming are the latest threats to human, but rather sex robots intended for providing ultimate pleasuring could suddenly turn into a killer weapon. AI sex robot is not dangerous, but fear manifests itself when hackers take control of the system and manipulate them into deadly weapons. “Once hacked they could absolutely be used to perform physical actions for an advantageous scenario or to cause damage.”
