Daniel wilson robopocalypse5/9/2023 Indeed, I argue that increasing levels of technological unemployment in other fields may well drive more people into the sex work industry. Although I grant the argument a degree of credibility, I argue that the opposing hypothesis - that prostitution will be resilient to technological unemployment - is also worth considering. But are they right? In this article, I critically assess the argument that has been made in favour of this displacement hypothesis. They claim that the advent of sophisticated sexual robots will lead to the displacement of human prostitutes, just as, say, the advent of sophisticated manufacturing robots have displaced many traditional forms of factory labour. Is sex work (specifically, prostitution) vulnerable to technological unemployment? Several authors have argued that it is.
