Abstract

Sex robots are a controversial topic. Understood as artificial-intelligence enhanced humanoid robots designed for use in partnered and solo sex, sex robots offer ample opportunities for theorizing from a Human-Machine Communication (HMC) perspective. This comparative literature review conjoins the seemingly disconnected literatures of HMC and sexuality studies (SeS) to explore questions surrounding intimacy, love, desire, sex, and sexuality among humans and machines. In particular, I argue for understanding human-machine sexualities as communicative sexuotechnical-assemblages, extending previous efforts in both HMC and SeS for more-than-human, ecological, and more fluid approaches to humans and machines, as well as to sex and sexuality. This essay continues and expands the critical turn in HMC by engaging in an interdisciplinary exercise with theoretical, design, and use/effect implications in the context of sex robots.
与机器人的性行为和人机性行为:人机交流与性研究的相遇
性爱机器人是一个有争议的话题。性爱机器人被理解为人工智能增强的类人机器人,设计用于伴侣性和单一性行为,从人机交流(HMC)的角度提供了充足的理论机会。这篇比较文献综述结合了HMC和性研究(SeS)看似不相关的文献,探讨了人类和机器之间的亲密、爱、欲望、性和性行为等问题。特别是,我主张将人机性行为理解为交流性技术的组合,扩展HMC和se之前的努力,为人类和机器以及性和性提供超越人类的、生态的和更流畅的方法。这篇文章通过在性爱机器人的背景下进行理论、设计和使用/效果的跨学科练习,继续并扩展了HMC的关键转折。
