Kate Devlin is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Digital Humanities at King's College London, investigating how people interact with and react to technology in order to understand how emerging and future technologies will affect us and the society in which we live. Kate has become a driving force in the field of intimacy and technology, running the UK's first sex tech hackathon in 2016. She has written articles on the subject for New Scientist, Prospect and Sunday Times amongst others, featured on BBC Radios 1–5, and her latest book 'Turned On: Science, Sex and Robots' questions our relationship with technology as it moves into the realm of robotics.
