ABSTRACT The growing cultural conversation about sexual consent comes at a time in which new technologies with potential implications for sexuality norms are also beginning to emerge in the marketplace. ‘Sex robots’ – anthropomorphic sex toys ‘brought to life’ by artificial intelligence – are one such innovation. Critics suggest that making sex dolls more lifelike but not necessarily more realistic could erode cultural norms around sexuality, particularly regarding consent. Using qualitative content analysis, this study examined user discourse on the ‘Club RealDoll’ forum to investigate how Harmony, the artificially intelligent Android-based app behind Abyss Creations’ sex robot technology, engendered particular normative values and uncovered users’ preconceived attitudes about consent. These data ultimately revealed how the app’s gamified format promotes a set of flawed internal ethics, incompatible with broader societal ideals for positive and respectful sexual experiences. The results also suggested, however, that with purposeful design intervention, this technology could be ‘reprogrammed’ to provide clarity on the role of consent. Although the experience of using a physically integrated sex robot may intrinsically vary from that of the standalone digital app, these findings make a critical contribution to the conversation around emerging technologies and their effect on sexual relationship norms.

重新编程同意:与人工智能合作伙伴发生性关系的影响

摘要 关于性同意的日益增长的文化对话正值对性规范具有潜在影响的新技术也开始出现在市场上的时候。“性爱机器人”——由人工智能“赋予生命”的拟人性玩具——就是这样一种创新。批评者认为,让性玩偶更逼真但不一定更现实可能会侵蚀围绕性行为的文化规范,尤其是关于同意的文化规范。本研究使用定性内容分析,检查了“Club RealDoll”论坛上的用户话语,以调查 Harmony(深渊创作的性爱机器人技术背后的基于 Android 的人工智能应用程序)如何产生特定的规范价值并揭示用户对同意的先入为主的态度。这些数据最终揭示了该应用程序的游戏化格式如何促进了一系列有缺陷的内部道德,与更广泛的社会理想不符,即积极和尊重的性体验。然而,结果还表明,通过有目的的设计干预,这项技术可以“重新编程”,以明确同意的作用。尽管使用物理集成的性爱机器人的体验可能与独立数字应用程序的使用体验本质上有所不同,但这些发现对围绕新兴技术及其对性关系规范的影响的对话做出了重要贡献。这项技术可以“重新编程”,以明确同意的作用。尽管使用物理集成的性爱机器人的体验可能与独立数字应用程序的体验有本质上的不同,但这些发现对围绕新兴技术及其对性关系规范的影响的对话做出了重要贡献。这项技术可以“重新编程”,以明确同意的作用。尽管使用物理集成的性爱机器人的体验可能与独立数字应用程序的使用体验本质上有所不同,但这些发现对围绕新兴技术及其对性关系规范的影响的对话做出了重要贡献。
