14: Robot Sex Isn’t That Far Away: Ross Dawson Predicts the Future

Today I’ll be having a conversation with Ross Dawson, a futurist who has some very specific predictions about the future of sex. He believes we will begin to have conversations with machines in the next 10 years, possibly in the next 5 years, where they can evoke our emotions. In fact, what we have seen from the technology coming from the “real dolls” sector indicates robots are becoming more attractive to us. Ross tells me it is safe to say at least one in 10 young adults with have had sex with a humanoid robot by 2045. Join us as we wrap the first season of Future of Sex with futurist Ross Dawson.
