DESCRIPTION:New developments in robotics\, virtual reality\, and especially
  artificial intelligence (AI) are giving rise to a new type of technologie
 s: the ‘artificial intimacies’. In this talk\, evolutionary biologist 
 and UNSW Scientia Professor Rob Brooks will consider some of the applicati
 ons and implications of artificial intimacy\, from matchmaking algorithms 
 to relationships with virtual reality characters to robotic sex dolls. Pro
 fessor Brooks will discuss the likelihood of sex robots and virtual realit
 y sex becoming mainstream. He will pay particular attention to the many wa
 ys in which digital lovers might alter real-world sexual relationships and
  gender relations.\n\nThe Challenges for a Cyber-Physical World Seminar Se
 ries brings together interdisciplinary expertise to raise awareness on the
  issues unique to a society where the physical and the digital are increas
 ingly intertwined. This series is intended for scholars and practitioners 
 from law and other areas who are keen to learn about challenges in a cyber
 -physical world from a variety of disciplinary perspectives.\n\nCo-sponsor
