Female Sex Robot Could be Dangerous Even Beyond Your Imagination

Blay Whitby is a philosopher who cares about the social impact of emerging technologies, he is popular for degrading robots in the media and that might be just what we all need to start doing.

Sex robots (doll) are becoming so realistic and sophisticated that makers now claim customers nurture dreams of marrying them.

That represents a dangerous trend - one that can harm us even beyond our own imagination.

Cyber-security experts have issued a strange warning that this robots can one day kill their owners if hackers reach their heads.

In August 2017, tech billionaire Elon Mosk claimed there is a strong possibility Artificial Intelligence could take over the world and there are many others like him who share similar views about what is now termed "Killer Tech.

Sex Robots could be hacked and re-programmed to Kill

With sex robots increasingly becoming popular and sophisticated, Dr. Nick Paterson of the Cybersecurity Conference revealed that realistic dolls could end up being "devastating" for the United States and as a matter of fact, the rest of the world as they could end up going all “Terminator” on us.

With sex robots, the danger is not that love dolls will eventually develop their own minds. Instead, the risk is that hackers could breach the robots’ internal defense systems and catch their owners pants down.

Dr. Patterson further stated that hacking into many modern robots, which includes sexbots, will be a breeze compared to more sophisticated devices such as computers and cell phones.

Dr. Nick Paterson, who is a tech expert from Deakin University in Australia continues...

“Hackers can hack into a robot or a robotic device and have full control of the connections, arms, legs and other attached tools like knives or welding devices. Once a robot is hacked, the hacker has full control and can issue instructions to the robot.”

These admonitions may come out a little over the top. What you must know however is - sex robots/dolls are powered by an operating system just like your mobile phones and/or Computers and as with all devices, if that system is ever connected to the internet, then it becomes possible for hackers to break into it.

The last thing you want is for a hacker to have control over one of these robots. Once hacked, they could absolutely be used to perform physical actions for an advantageous scenario or to cause damage.

Wait another ten years and compare them to today's robots. AI, wardrobes they can use, intelligent conversations, dishes, laundry, shopping at the grocery store. You come home from work and they hand you a beer.

Another ten years?

I am waiting.
