Ethical Guidelines for the Production, Distribution and Use of Humanoid Sex Robots
S3x, Robots, Women* - Future and Taboo
by erfolgsfaktor FRAU e.V.
The project “Sex, Robots, Women* - Future and Taboo” deals with the topic of sex robots in their relation to female-identified people. Sex robots are artefacts which
-
have a humanoid form, behaviour and movement,
-
are mainly used for sexual purposes and
-
have some degree of artificial intelligence (AI).
The existence of this type of robots has a significant impact on the position of female-identified people in society, whose sexuality has always been a taboo. It leads to
-
an increase in the representation of female-identified people as objects,
-
a strengethning in the perception of female-identified people as hypersexualised beings and
-
a continuation of discriminatory behaviour towards female-identified people.
