In the fiction Scarlett and Gurl<em>,&nbsp;<\/em>the titular characters are a wealthy tech entrepreneur on her way home for Christmas and the stranded dancer to whom she gives a lift. Scarlett, involved in the development of new uses for AI, resists its inclusion in her own life, insisting on hiring a succession of human nannies instead of the iMom her peers rely on. Gurl shares her boyfriend with a sex robot she looks upon as her best friend. These types of future tech may not be so far away; AI and robotics are already part of our lives. The essay by Kate Devlin begins \u201cThe first thing to know about sex robots is that there are no sex robots,\u201d but it goes on to consider the role of the virtual assistant, and reveals that a Japanese company which makes \u201ca voice-driven AI with an associated projected holographic anime character\u201d has thousands of male customers who would like to marry their virtual assistants.
