Sex-With-Robots Conference Banned In Malaysia
Sex-with-robots conference banned in Malaysia

It’s hard to be a sex machine in Malaysia these days.
The country’s inspector general of police has declared that a local technology conference centered around sexual relations between humans and robots is illegal and that the people who organized the event will be punished if they proceed with it anyway, local media reports.
“There’s nothing scientific about sex and robots!” inspector general Khalid Abu Bakar said Tuesday.
“Don’t try to be ridiculous,” he barked. “It’s already an offense in Malaysia to have anal sex, what more intercourse with robots.”

The international conference — titled “Love and Sex with Robots” — is scheduled to take place in Iskander from Nov. 16 to 19, according to Free Malaysia Today.

A link on the event’s website leads any interested parties to another webpage, named “Advances in Computer Entertainment Conference.”
“Interactive entertainment is one of the most vibrant areas of interest in modern society and is among the fastest growing industries in the world,” a description reads. “In 2015, ACE will bring together leading researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to present their innovative work and discuss all aspects and challenges of interactive entertainment technology, in a vibrant, exciting, cultural, and stimulating environment.”
Experts who speak at the “Love and Sex with Robots” workshop are expected to address a wide range of topics — such as robot emotions, humanoid robots, clone robots, entertainment robots, robot personalities, teledildonics and intelligent electronic sex hardware, Free Malaysia Today reports.
Â
But one of the co-chairs of the event, City University London Professor Adrian David, told The Star Online that the conference will in no way advocate sexual relationships between humans and machines, insisting that the event was simply an academic discussion among researchers.
But Bakar warned Tuesday that all organizers would be punished swiftly if they go through with the robot sex summit.
“We will take action,” he vowed. “There are many laws that we can use.”
