AI-powered sex dolls are designed to provide users with an immersive and personalized experience. However, the advanced technology that powers these dolls, such as voice recognition, cameras, and sensors, raises significant concerns about their potential use in unauthorized surveillance.

The risk is that these dolls could be exploited for purposes other than what they were designed for. Since many smart devices are connected to the internet, there is a chance that an AI sex doll’s microphone, camera, or sensors could be remotely accessed without the user’s knowledge. Hackers could potentially gain control of the doll and use it to monitor conversations, record intimate moments, or even watch users without their consent.

While most manufacturers include privacy settings and security measures, these are not always foolproof. Devices that are always “on” and have internet connectivity present more risks than those that are offline or disconnected when not in use. Even if the doll is not actively spying on the user, the data collected can be vulnerable to breaches if not properly protected, opening the door for malicious actors to access personal information.

To prevent unauthorized surveillance, it’s essential to keep the doll’s firmware updated, use strong encryption, and disable features like cameras and microphones when they’re not needed. Users should also review privacy policies carefully to ensure they have control over what data is being collected.
