Abstract
The Christian traditional theme of love and freedom is reflected in the man-robot relationship. The Christian ethics opposes love with the observance of formal rules. Thus, the robot needs to find either universal ethical rules (whose difficulty is shown in both scientific and fiction literature), or allow him to find freedom and love. The popular cultural theme of robots rebelling against the code that prescribes their actions is now being replaced by images of autonomous and freely operating robots. Such changes are motivated by not least the success of the connectionist approach that made it possible to train artificial intelligence (AI) without predetermined rules. The AI image as a comrade, colleague and romantic partner is gaining more and more space both in mass culture and in life, and the discourse about its rights, ethics and freedom is becoming more topical.
