With the rapid development of “artificial intelligence” (AI), robots have derived various uses. Today, British scientists have discovered that robots can not only be used for long-term photos but also “AI sex dolls” can help elderly people living alone get rid of loneliness.
Professor Nancy Jecker of the University of Washington recently published an article “No Shame: AI Sex Dolls for the Elderly Handicapped” in the Journal of Medical Ethics. The article boldly suggests that the use of “AI sex dolls” can improve the physical and mental health of silver-haired people living alone or with disabilities.
She emphasized that although lifelike sex dolls are often regarded as humanoid toys for bachelors or otakus to solve sexual and psychological problems, they are also salvation for the elderly and the disabled to enjoy the joy of fish and water when they enter the twilight year. This thesis aims to liberate people’s illusions about sex dolls and redefine them as products suitable for the elderly and the disabled.
She believes that the biggest key to the company of the elderly lies in personal dignity. What elderly people fear most is being treated as useless people and lacking their own position in the family. Especially when it comes to intimacy, it’s hard to tell, and I don’t know who to talk to about these issues, making sex the most pressing but most overlooked issue for the elderly.
Therefore, she suggested that “AI sex dolls” should not only have the initial functions of sex dolls, and even need the ability to communicate with hearts such as hugs and dialogues. Even the sex dolls designed and developed for yellow hair, widows, widows, and loneliness will bring a huge revolution to the current market trend.
She said that the purpose of doing so is to respect human dignity and to take seriously the true “desire” of people who are forced to reduce their emotional needs due to disability and isolation.
In addition, the Life-size sex doll can play the role of a listener; it will only listen quietly, will not leave, will not give back a bunch of dry words, and let the lonely person’s heart shatter like glass.”
The final conclusion is that, regardless of age, good emotional communication skills are closely related to life ability. The reason why a person is not only to live but to have a real “life” and do valuable things. Interpersonal relationships and physical integrity are inseparable from human dignity.
