Is AI really able to do absolutely any job? How should we feel about AI and robots in caring and intimate roles? So do You Want a Robot Lover? You might perhaps think that you do and that it is nobody else's business but yours, but the widespread use of robots in intimate and caring roles will bring about important social changes. We need to examine these changes now and consider them from an ethical standpoint. With plenty of engaging examples, the ethical questions raised by the use of AI technology in 'caring' roles is explained and examined by someone who has spent his career researching and talking on these issues.
