Humans and robots could have 'babies' within 100 years

AI robots could soon be having'children' with their owners, according to a leading artificial intelligence expert. Dr David Levy, author of Love and Sex with Robots, claims that it is an'odds-on cert' that humans and robots will soon make babies, given'recent progress in stem cell research and artificial chromosomes.' And while Dr Levy has not given a specific timeline for robot babies, he suggests that it could happen within the next 100 years. Artificially intelligent robots could soon be having'children' with their owners, according to a leading artificial intelligence expert (stock image) Dr Levy's predictions are based on research from Ohio State University, where scientists developed a nanotechnology-based chip that can successfully inject genetic code into skin cells. This chip process, known as tissue nano transfection (TNT), will allow'the genetic code of a robot to be passed on to its offspring along with human genetic code,' according to Dr Levy.
