Would you MARRY a robot?

While there are fears robots may rise up to take over the world if artificial intelligence progresses too quickly, some of us may find ourselves simply marrying machines in the future. A leading computer scientist has predicted that as robots become more human-like, people may start turning to them for companionship. His predictions mirror the plot of the hit TV series Humans, where people formed emotional attachments to robots brought in to help out around the home. Robots could soon become intimate companions for humans and some people may even seek to marry them as they become more human-like. Unlike other technology, such as mobile phones and computers, robots will have the ability to interact with us in a far more realistic way.
