The rise of AI (Artificial Intelligence) robots can be concerning for some people but that's not stopping them for sure. In fact, there's a chance that the AI robots will soon have'children' with their owners. Yes, human-robot babies are very much possible, according to a leading artificial intelligence expert. Dr David Levy, who is the author of Love and Sex with Robots claims that that humans and robots will soon make babies, given the'recent progress in stem cell research and artificial chromosomes.' Though Dr Levy has not given a specific timeline for robot babies, he believes that it could happen within the next 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.

Would you have sex with a robot? Would a robot have the right to say no to such a union? These were just a few of the questions being asked at the second Love and Sex with Robots conference hastily rearranged at Goldsmiths University in London after the government in Malaysia - the original location - banned it. It has proved controversial, not only to countries with conservative views. There were no representatives from the sex industry in attendance and no sex robots on display, leading some to question the point of the event.
