Dive into the future of AI and intimacy with tech expert Bernard Marr as he explores how digital desires are reshaping our romantic lives.
Welcome to the exciting world of AI and human intimacy, where the digital meets the personal in the most intriguing ways. As we navigate this brave new world, we spoke to Bernard Marr, the tech guru and author of Generative AI in Practice.
In his eye-opening book, Marr gives us a sneak peek into the buzzing industry of AI adult entertainment and dives into AI software already on the market.

But how will the ever-growing AI technology affect our sex lives in the not-so-distant future?
Bernard Marr explores Generative AI in Practice
“AI in adult entertainment often appears skewed towards single individuals primarily because it’s designed to fill a gap in personal companionship and intimacy. However, it certainly has potential benefits for those in relationships as well”.
Marr explains that AI’s allure extends beyond the confines of solitary indulgence. For couples, AI is the new playground for diving into the unexplored depths of desire and communication, all without judgment. Think of it as a digital aphrodisiac that spices up relationships and deepens connections.
Curious about how AI romancing might play out differently for men and women? According to Marr, the differences could be stark.
“The use of AI in sexual contexts may differ between men and women due to varying psychological and emotional needs and expectations. Generally, women might seek more emotional and narrative-driven experiences, whereas men might focus on the visual and physical aspects. It’s important for AI developers to understand and respect these differences when designing AI applications.”
Now, let’s get real—could AI adult entertainment skew our perceptions on what romance and intimacy should look like? Marr weighs in with a cautious yes.
“There’s a real possibility that AI could skew perceptions of what ‘normal’ romantic and sexual relationships look like. If not carefully managed, AI could set unrealistic expectations about intimacy and performance, potentially impacting real interpersonal relationships and societal norms about sex and romance.”
Diving deeper, Marr flags the potential dangers lurking behind AI intimacy. As we immerse ourselves in the tantalising world of virtual encounters, there lies the danger of losing touch with the authenticity of human connection. The line between fantasy and reality could get blurry, which may have consequences in our relationships.
“As with any technology, there are both opportunities and risks. While AI can offer new forms of companionship and a safe way to explore sexual preferences, there is also a risk of misuse, privacy breaches, and the reinforcement of unhealthy sexual behaviours.”
In the swiftly evolving realm of AI, Marr warns that AI’s ability to provide immediate gratification can become addictive to users, which may foster risky behaviours or obscure ethical boundaries. This worry primarily stems from the possibility that AI could facilitate the exploration of non-consensual acts or even illegal activities. As such, Marr explains that both developers and regulators must establish healthy, consensual and legal explorations.
Yet, it’s not all doom and gloom. Marr spots a ray of hope in how AI can revolutionise intimacy, offering a helping hand, or rather, code, to those facing sexual health challenges or disabilities. With AI, personalised and safe explorations of sexuality could become the norm, making understanding and empowerment more accessible than ever.
”Overall, the integration of AI into adult entertainment can lead to greater personalisation, increased safety, and an educational approach to exploring human sexuality.”
So, as we stand on the cusp of a new world of AI integration into adult entertainment, Marr leaves us with a nugget of wisdom:
“AI is likely to deeply influence our relationship with sex by offering new ways to explore intimacy and by providing personalised sexual health information and advice. As AI becomes more integrated into our lives, it will be important to balance its benefits with a mindful consideration of ethical implications.”
Get ready for a future where intimacy and AI intertwine in the most unexpected, exciting ways!
