Synthetics, Androids in Cyberpunk

+
I did a search of the forums beforehand and was surprised there is no mention of synthetic life forms or androids. Do they exist in Cyberpunk? In an age of Cyberware and marrying the human brain to a cybernetic torso, has anyone (in the lore) created an android? Is the AI that advanced?

So they do exist in the current lore, at least the type of Arasaka android shown in that link.

AI rights and consciousness were explored a lot in Ghost In The Shell and Fallout 4. Are you prepared to deal with the topic (again) here in 2077!? :LOL:
 
Makes sense that the people on earth would not have a reason for it, I do wonder if those living in space have any though?

Adam Smasher isn't an android. He's a man who converted the overwhelming majority of his body to cyberware in service to Arasaka

I see. Yes, that's an important distinction. Androids are made. Cyborgs are converted.
I thought that concept art was an android, though. Looked too lithe to be Adam Smasher himself.

Thanks for the clarification nonetheless.
