About The Session

After the tremendous growth and innovation in recent years of sexual wellness, and the COVID-19 pandemic acting as a catalyst for transformation, the sextech industry has well and truly entered mainstream conversations and shopping carts. 

But now, we’re about to witness an even more remarkable evolution.

Beyond the familiar territories of teledildonics and sexual wellness lies a new frontier. 

In this keynote we will dive into the world of deepfakes, where technology blurs the lines between reality and fantasy, raising intriguing questions about consent, authenticity, and the nature of desire. 

We’ll also delve into the realm of cyber heartbreak, exploring the emotional complexities that arise in the world of virtual companions.

Finally, we will look at the unlikely areas of opportunity and how sextech has entered the luxury good markets through a surprising avenue – sexual assault prevention. 

Join us as we navigate this fascinating and complex landscape, exploring the potential of this new wave of companies in the sextech industry.

Bryony Cole

Founder of Sextech School

As the world’s leading authority on SexTech, Bryony Cole is fascinated by the way technology permeates every corner of our lives, even the most intimate ones.

Since launching the top-rated podcast Future of Sex, Bryony has been on stages across the world forecasting trends in the SexTech industry for governments, tech titans and entertainment companies.
Her incredible body of research, global Sextech hackathons and Future of Sex podcast are considered the pinnacle of industry insights and innovation.

In 2020, Bryony established Sextech School, a pre-accelerator program catering to entrepreneurs and investors embarking on their journey in the realm of Sextech. The School has since fostered ten successful cohorts.
Come 2023, Bryony will unveil the Sextech Investment Community, a pioneering equity crowdfunding platform fueling ventures at the nexus of sexuality, technology, and well-being—a first in the field.

In this presentation, we will explore the transformative intersection of AI and Sexual Wellness. As Generative AI fuels an explosion of content, the role of community in curating reliable, trusted information becomes paramount. Attendees will gain insights into how AI is not just changing the quantity of content available but also redefining the very nature of curation and trust in the Sexual wellness space. The speech will delve into how AI strategy must evolve in response to the specific challenges and opportunities posed by the sensitive nature of Sexual wellness.

Falling in love with ChatGPT: An experimental study

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling increasingly complex intimate and sexual relationships with artificial erotic agents – or erobots. These agents possess enhanced natural language processing capabilities, making it challenging to discern them from human partners. Yet, limited research exists on the potential for humans to form intimate relationships with erobots that possess interactive capabilities indistinguishable from us. This study thus investigates whether humans can develop intimacy with partners perceived as either human or artificial. In a matchmaking scenario, participants were exposed to 10 responses generated by ChatGPT, utilizing a modified version of the Interpersonal Closeness Generation Task, also known as the “36 questions to fall in love.” We manipulated participants’ perception of whether the responses originated from a human or an artificial partner. We then assessed whether individuals could develop interpersonal closeness and erotic interest towards an artificial partner when they believed the answers came from a human. Join us at LSR 2023 to explore the intriguing question of whether one can fall in love with a machine!
