Don't Worry About Killer Sex Dolls, Sex Tech Isn't That Dangerous

Australian cybersecurity expert Nick Patterson created quite a stir when he told the Daily Star hackers could theoretically hijack high-tech sex dolls and use them to kill people. "Once a robot is hacked, the hacker has full control and can issue instructions to the robot," Patterson told The Daily Star. Patterson later told Men's Health the tabloids sensationalized his broader observation about artificial intelligence: AI-powered robots are still machines. They can get hacked just like any other computer connected to the internet. Regardless, there's no need to fear sex tech.
