Sex robots could be capable of killing unfortunate humans should they fall victim to malicious hackers, experts have warned.
The anatomically correct humanoid creations feature increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) with each new model, allowing users to enjoy a more naturalistic experience.
However, this technology could be targeted by cybercriminals with violence in mind, according to a new article written by Hong Kong law firm ONC Lawyers for Lexology.
It warns “unassuming sex robots are equally dangerous” as military AI when it comes to posing a threat to humanity’s existence.
The industry has been booming during the coronavirus pandemic due to the decrease in human-to-human contact under lockdown.
