Abstract

The emergence of sex robots raises important issues about what it means to be human and the commodification of love, companionship, and sex. This commentary discusses the following question: If some members of society relate to robots as “humans,” what does this mean for society’s conceptualisation of personhood and intimate relationships? How love is expressed between individuals is normally considered a very private expression of companionship that should remain in the private sphere. This article examines whether sex robots should be subject to public regulation given the broader societal impacts of their ability to emotionally connect and elicit empathy from humans.

对保罗·欧伦“不可思议的美：伴侣、爱和性爱机器人的美学”的回应

期刊介绍： Artificial Life, launched in the fall of 1993, has become the unifying forum for the exchange of scientific information on the study of artificial systems that exhibit the behavioral characteristics of natural living systems, through the synthesis or simulation using computational (software), robotic (hardware), and/or physicochemical (wetware) means. Each issue features cutting-edge research on artificial life that advances the state-of-the-art of our knowledge about various aspects of living systems such as: Artificial chemistry and the origins of life Self-assembly, growth, and development Self-replication and self-repair Systems and synthetic biology Perception, cognition, and behavior Embodiment and enactivism Collective behaviors of swarms Evolutionary and ecological dynamics Open-endedness and creativity Social organization and cultural evolution Societal and technological implications Philosophy and aesthetics Applications to biology, medicine, business, education, or entertainment.
