Title
Robots and Intimacies: A Preliminary Study of Perceptions, and Intimacies with Robots.
Abstract
When David Levy first introduced the subject of 'love and sex with robots', he became a provocateur of a conversation that spread from morality to the rights of robots. With the rapid development in Artificial Intelligence, love and sex with robots is expected to be a reality in near future. However, the question remains, how much humans understand and accept intimacies with robots. We argue that perceptions of human-robot interactions (HRI) have a certain impact on how individuals comprehend intimacies with robots. In this study, a pilot study of first stage of a series of studies, we examined the perception of robots, and intimacies with robots, and realized our sample created a 'self and other', and 'over there, but not here' distinction when it comes to the perception of HRI. This stance, we like to identify as an adoption of a moral position, not simply with regards to love and sex with robots, but also communicating to HRI.
