In this article, I examine the positions of Maurizio Balistreri in Sex robot. L’amore al tempo delle macchine (2018). Balistreri extensively examines the reasons that should lead us to consider as highly positive the introduction of sex robots in sexual practices, not only as sex toys, but also as therapeutic supports. Subsequently, I briefly examine some objections to the introduction of sex robots formulated by Kathleen Richardson and conclude that they are based on an excessively rigid anthropological conception and are neither supported by sufficient empirical evidence nor by good argumentative evidences. In the final part of the paper I explore some scenarios of the implementation of a general artificial intelligence in sex robots.

Abstract

In this article, I examine the positions of Maurizio Balistreri in Sex robot. L’amore al tempo delle macchine (2018). Balistreri extensively examines the reasons that should lead us to consider as highly positive the introduction of sex robots in sexual practices, not only as sex toys, but also as therapeutic supports. Subsequently, I briefly examine some objections to the introduction of sex robots formulated by Kathleen Richardson and conclude that they are based on an excessively rigid anthropological conception and are neither supported by sufficient empirical evidence nor by good argumentative evidences. In the final part of the paper I explore some scenarios of the implementation of a general artificial intelligence in sex robots.
