Sex with robots by 2050An artificial intelligence expert claims we will be having sex with robots by 2050.
David Levy says by then robots will be nearly indistinguishable from real people.
In his book, Sex With Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot relationships, he writes: "Great sex on tap for everyone, 24/7. What's not to like?"
According to Levy, the people who are most likely to benefit from these sexbots are those so ugly or isolated that they have trouble finding human romance.
He said: "They're lonely, they're miserable. I think society will be a much better place when they have an alternative that satisfies them without doing any harm to other people.
"If there was a robot of the sort I describe in the book, I would certainly want to experience using it for sex and I wouldn't regard it as anything untoward.
"I would do it out of curiosity. Not that I have a need for a new sex partner, I'm happily married."

ananova.comTeens charged with microwaving cat to deathSaturday, January 5, 2008 | 7:47 AM MT
Four teenagers from the Edmonton area have been charged with breaking into a house and killing a cat in a microwave.
Police in Camrose, southeast of Edmonton, say a home was broken into twice while the owners were away for the holidays last month.
During the second break-in, a cat from the home was put into the microwave and then cooked to death, Insp. Lee Foreman said.
Four teens between the ages of 13 and 15 have been charged with several offences including breaking and entering, theft and unlawfully killing an animal. They are scheduled to appear in a Camrose court on Feb. 7.
None of the teens lives at the home or is related to the owners, Foreman said.
"I've been policing for over 25 years and I've never encountered anything quite like this," he said. "It's very disturbing. It's especially sad given the season."
A family friend who was looking after the house while the owners were gone found the dead cat in the microwave.
