The inventor of “sex robots” claims he will soon “have children” with his construction, and suggests the world is only one generation away from human-robot “marriages.”
In an interview with The Sun, a British newspaper, Sergi Santos claims his robot “Samantha” has improved his 16-year marriage. But, then he suggests he’s planning to make a new upgrade to his robot that will allow it to simulate a pregnancy and motherhood.
"I can make them have a baby. It's not so difficult. I would love to have a child with a robot. Using the brain I have already created, I would program it with a genome so he or she could have moral values, plus concepts of beauty, justice and the values that humans have," he said. "To create a child with this robot it would be extremely simple. I would make an algorithm of what I personally believe about these concepts, and then shuffle it with what she thinks and then 3-D print it. That's it. I 3-D print the robot that is the child of me and the robot ... I don't see any complications.
Santos said his invention, and others using artificial intelligence will push the boundaries, and “human rights” will one day no longer apply only to human beings:
"People might look at Samantha as a weird thing you read about. But before they know it, these robots will be doing their jobs, and marrying their children, their grandchildren, and their friends. They need to remember that just a few years ago mobile phones were seen as a non-essential item in society but now we can't function without them."
Think he’s kidding? Three months ago, the mainstream media reported on his contraptions as perversions, but now they’re replete with feel-good stories about sex robots.
