Abstract

The author discusses issues of sexual and emotional human relations with a humanoid robot. This phenomenon heralds impressive technological progress but raises several doubts. As the problem has been of interest to mainly foreign researchers, it was also regarded as important to present the Polish legal perspective. First, the author presents the traditional model of family (marriage). Second, the author presents the genesis and characteristics of human-robotic relationships. The paper also presents the formulation of potential legal problems and an attempt to consider the possible prospects of the legislator. Finally, the author emphasized the arguments for the rightness of treating human intercourse with humanoid critically, and thus not underestimating the risks that may occur as a result of the implementation of revolutionary demands on the subjectivity of robots, the legality of sexual services, or even marriages with their participation.
