An artificial intelligence researcher in Netherlands said that there may come a time that people would have sex with robots and even get married. He predicts that this might happen in 2050 at the state of Massachusetts where it is most liberal and open minded on such innovations that involve robots.

As we all know, robots are slowly mimicking the ways of humans. There are robots created to be maids, or factory workers. There are even dog robots and others. In due time, the researcher said that robots could even have sex with humans. However, he set aside a couple of ethical questions.

One question is will it be able to provide an outlet for criminal sexual urges? Let’s say for example, a pedophile. If they were given a robot child, will this decrease the chances of them having sex with a real child or will it increase the chances? Also, it can cause jealousy in partners who might think that it is an act of infidelity. Moreover, will it help couples in times of sickness? For example, if the woman has a headache, the man could turn to the robot instead of knocking at the door of their neighbor looking for sex.
