‘Love and Sex with Robots’ conference illegal, IGP says



KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 - Malaysian police have warned organisers against proceeding with the international Love and Sex with Robots conference that was to be held this November in Johor, saying the event is illegal and inappropriate for local culture.


Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar also said today that it was ridiculous that the organisers had thought it suitable to hold such an event in Malaysia.

Khalid further warned if the organisers decided to go ahead with the programme from November 16 to 19 despite his warning, he would take action even if no police report is lodged.

Australian portal news.com.au reported earlier this month that academics will gather in Malaysia for a Love and Sex with Robots conference this November to dissect the legal, ethical and moral issues on the topic.

The planned discussion topics listed on the website include robot emotions, humanoid robots, clone robots, entertainment robots, robot personalities, teledildonics and intelligent electronic sex hardware.
