Have you ever flirted with Alexa? Yelled at your GPS? Has your child cared for a Tamagotchi? Human needs such as intimacy and sexuality are influenced by the technologization of our world. Ethical questions and fundamental considerations about what it means to be human, as well as issues of data security, become particularly pressing in this context. Kate Devlin, an AI researcher, examines the relationships between humans and technology from a broader perspective. She fearlessly explores questions that trace back to antiquity, mapping the development of sex toys, engaging in conversations with manufacturers and users of sex robots, and developing her own ideas on how artificial intelligence can enrich our lives. She presents a realistic picture of what is possible and urges us not to leave the design of artificial intelligence to large corporations.
