• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Using an interdisciplinary approach, this book explores the emerging topics and rapid technological developments of robotics and artificial intelligence through the lens of the evolving role of sex robots, and how they should best be designed to serve human needs. An international panel of authors provides the most up-to-date, evidence-based empirical research on the potential sexual applications of artificial intelligence. Early chapters discuss the objections to sexual activity with robots while also providing a counterargument to each objection. Subsequent chapters present the implications of robot sex as well as the security and data privacy issues associated with sexual interactions with artificial intelligence. The book concludes with a chapter highlighting the importance of a scientific, multidisciplinary approach to the study of human - robot sexuality.

Topics featured in this book include:

• The Sexual Interaction Illusion Model.
• The personal companion system, Harmony, designed by Realbotix(TM).
• An exposition of the challenges of personal data control and protection when dealing with artificial intelligence.
• The current and future technological possibilities of projecting three-dimensional holograms.
• Expert discussion notes from an international workshop on the topic.

AI Love You will be of interest to academic researchers in psychology, robotics, ethics, medical science, sociology, gender studies as well as clinicians, policy makers, and the business sector.

After completing her PhD at the University of Dundee in 2007, she first worked in social psychology on group identity in the University of St Andrews in 2008 and then in the area of Health Psychology in the Medical School of the University of St Andrews (2008 - 2017).  In St Andrews she strengthened her expertise on studying human interactions in medical settings and developed a keen interest to study human-robot social interactions, to which she is currently devoting her full attention.     Martin H. Fischer is Professor of Cognitive Science, Chair of Cognitive Sciences at the University of Potsdam in Germany and speaker for the research focus on Cognitive Sciences at this university. After completing Psychology studies at RWTH Aachen, Germany, in 1991, Martin worked in Massachusetts, USA, on human motor activity and eye movements. Following his PhD in Cognitive Psychology, he worked as a researcher at LMU in Munich, Germany, before moving to University of Dundee in Scotland in 1999. There, he worked for 12 years on various topics, including as human-robot interaction, before being appointed in Potsdam. Leading the Potsdam Embodied Cognition Group (PECoG), he has recently published the two-volume "Foundations of Embodied Cognition".
