One of the largest Chinese manufacturers of sex dolls, WMDOLL, has begun selling a sex doll that they claim is powered by artificial intelligence. The doll is capable of basic AI activities such as simple conversations, and in addition, it can move its eyes, hands, and torso. Customers can personalize this doll by choosing different heights, hairstyles, and eye colors, according to Reuters.

The doll is not capable of holding longer conversations, but it can respond to questions. The vocabulary used by the doll is drawn from connecting to the database of the Chinese tech giant Baidu.

WMDOLL states that improving the doll has proven to be a problematic part because experts are not interested in working on the development of artificial intelligence technology that would be used for adult products.

WMDOLL has sold over 20 of these dolls equipped, among other things, with artificial intelligence, and the price ranges from 10,000 to 50,000 yuan (9,300 to 46,500 kuna). They typically sell around 20,000 regular sex dolls annually.
