Gender Bias Through Artificial Intelligence -- AI Daily - Artificial Intelligence News

It's becoming possible to think of robots through the male and female lenses we view humans. Naturally, with the presence of voice-based AI, it's only inevitable that we begin categorizing AI in these lenses, to facilitate the usage of pronouns in reference to them and bond them even further with humanity. Siri and other forms of smartphone assistants can be altered to speak in either a male or female's voice, depending on the preferences of the user. To make the alteration more realistic, their dialogue will also change depending on the voice used, almost monumentally. And unfortunately, this only leads to gender bias in the forms of arbitrary treatment towards progressing sexist stereotypes.
