raises some interesting questions;
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-51330261US researchers have warned that the availability of sex robots with artificial intelligence (AI) poses a growing psychological and moral threat to individuals and society.
They say the technology is escaping oversight because agencies are too embarrassed to investigate it.
"Some robots are programmed to protest, to create a rape scenario," she said.
"Some are designed to look like children. One developer of these in Japan is a self-confessed paedophile, who says that this device is a prophylactic against him ever hurting a real child.
"But does that normalise and give people a chance to practise these behaviours that should be treated by just stamping them out?"
Speaking with a Scottish accent, the mannequin says, "if you play your cards right you will have some pleasure and fun coming your way".
And the firm's founder and CEO, Matt McMullen explains that Harmony has AI that enables "her" to develop a relationship with the owner.
"She is going to remember things about you, your likes, your dislikes and your experiences," says Mr McMullen.
