The study deals with the issue of the admissibility of production, distribution and use of sex robots equipped with artificial intelligence, capable of expressing personality. The greatest controversy concerns the possibility of simulating a rape on a woman-robot and undertaking sexual activities with dolls that look like children. The author cited the thesis indicating legitimacy of both the limitation and full admission of said objects for sale and use. The analysis concerned not only ethical but also psychological, social and legal arguments.
