Guardian documentary about the future of love dolls
I'm a documentary producer at the Guardian newspaper in the UK. We are working on a documentary, looking at the future of love dolls and how AI and robotics will make doll ownership go mainstream. We have access to Realdoll's latest robotic doll, and will be filming at their workshop in California in February.
I'm looking for doll owners who can talk to me about what its like living with a doll, and what the future of dolls - particularly robotics and AI - might mean to them. We are particularly looking for doll owners who live in or near Las Vegas or Los Angeles.
The Guardian prides itself on being fair, honest and respectful in its reporting and any subjects in this film would be treated as such. Initial conversations will be in full confidence and off the record.
Interested? Know someone who is? Respond here or get in touch

Re: Guardian documentary about the future of love dolls
I don't know exactly what it's going to take to mainstream this technology, but the demand is certainly there (though pushed underground through social censure). My guess is that what's needed are sex robots that are utilitarian first, and sex-capable second. Anita in the U.K. television series 'Humans' is precisely marketed this way. I don't see any reason that shouldn't work (setting aside the sheer engineering difficulty).
Till then, the Guardian will likely need to talk to the usual suspects, such as David Levy and others, who approach this from at least a quasi-academic standpoint.

The programme is available here.
Also, Monday, Feb. 13th, writers Sam Vincent and Johnathan Brackley of the Television series Humans, will be discussing the subject of A.I. and other topics related to the TV series. Creating Humans is the name of this event and it would be awesome Tom if you and your Guardian crew could interview these writers.
Anyway... good luck with your project in the U.S. and I'm sure Matt will give you a great insight into his new venture with Realbotix.

Just re-upping this. We'd be really interested to speak to someone in the Las Vegas area - do let me know if you'd be interested or know anyone who is.
Thanks,
Tom
