About
Marianne Brandon is a researcher whose work sits at the fascinating intersection of human sexuality, technology, and intimate relationships. Her scholarship has focused particularly on the emerging field of sex robotics, exploring how artificial intelligence and advanced robotic technology are poised to reshape human sexual and emotional life. In her 2021 study on curiosity and attitudes toward sex robots, which has garnered 11 citations, Brandon examined public perceptions of this rapidly evolving technology, recognizing that robotic companions capable of human intimacy represent an inevitable development in the trajectory of AI. Complementing this work, her 2021 survey on emotional, sexual, and behavioral correlates of attitudes toward sex robots — cited 4 times — delved deeper into the psychological dimensions of how people relate to such technology, aiming to understand how its integration into personal relationships might be navigated responsibly. Brandon's research is notable for its forward-thinking approach to a largely underexplored area, recognizing both the potential benefits and complex challenges that sexual technology introduces to human intimacy. Her work provides an important empirical foundation for clinicians, ethicists, and policymakers preparing for this significant cultural and technological shift.
