At its most basic, AI refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, such as recognizing speech, making decisions, and solving problems. There are many different types of AI, including machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing, all of which are used to create more advanced and sophisticated AI systems. One of the most well-known applications of AI is virtual personal assistants, such as Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa. These systems use natural language processing to understand and respond to voice commands, allowing users to control their smart homes, make phone calls, and access information with just their voice. Another key area of AI development is self-driving cars, which use a combination of computer vision, machine learning, and other technologies to navigate roads and avoid obstacles.

What seems to be on most people's lips recently with the exception of and the holidays and web3 seems to be Artificial intelligence (AI). The recent developments and advancement of AI has made a lot of people wonder if Artificial intelligence would one day take over prominent jobs of humans or is this happening already? IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TAKING OVER ART INDUSTRIES? I decided to write this article to show some of my views on Artificial intelligence in relation with the possibility of AI taking over art industries. Let me begin by actually introducing AI.

By exploring the various facets of gendering at play in the design of VPAs, specifically Alexa, I argue that gendering Alexa as female poses societal harm insofar as she reproduces normative assumptions about the role of women as submissive, inferior, and secondary to men. The prevalence of AI-driven virtual personal assistants (VPAs) is proliferating, with Amazon Echo being one of the most highly sought-after smart speakers globally. However, not until recently has there been much research or attention focused on the gender bias noticeably programmed into this technology, specifically Alexa, intentionally designed, coded, and programmed by men and gendered to be distinctly female. Big Tech's decision to gender VPAs is seen most evident through their assigned female names and their female voices that users find more pleasant to give orders to than a male voice, as seen through witty flirtatious programmed responses. Through these interactions, Alexa performs gender as a feminized and sexualized entity imposed upon her by her Silicon Valley creators, that has the potential to unravel decades of social and political progress, as well as reinstate the gender bias of the past that women strived to eradicate. In the not-so-distant future, TechCrunch forecasts that the use of voice assistants is set to triple over the next few years and estimates there will be ten billion digital voice assistants by 2023, up from the 2.5 billion assistants in use at the end of 2018. This growth is attributed to Amazon Echo being one of the most highly sought-after smart speakers in the world.

This is very important for a business to have an e-commerce platform to compete with the giant -- Merchandise of online vendors. In the competitive marketplace, if your business is not able to make a remarkable appearance online. You may get left behind. A transformed and revolutionized face of technology has brought us into the digital era where we are more into gadgets, social media, and the internet like never before. Before the pandemic, life was going smoothly.

We all might have come across this question. Machines are invented by humans. So how can a student know more than their teacher? Though the answer to the above question is'NEVER' as human intelligence designs artificial intelligence, but the fact that this question arises signifies the advancement of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Machines can educate themselves, learn from their mistakes and take decisions i.e. behave like a human but in a faster and more accurate way.

A few years ago, Amazon employed a new automated hiring tool to review the resumes of job applicants. Shortly after launch, the company realized that resumes for technical posts that included the word "women's" (such as "women's chess club captain"), or contained reference to women's colleges, were downgraded. The answer to why this was the case was down to the data used to teach Amazon's system. Based on 10 years of predominantly male resumes submitted to the company, the "new" automated system in fact perpetuated "old" situations, giving preferential scores to those applicants it was more "familiar" with. Defined by AI4ALL as the branch of computer science that allows computers to make predictions and decisions to solve problems, artificial intelligence (AI) has already made an impact on the world, from advances in medicine, to language translation apps.

Suggest to Samsung's Virtual Personal Assistant Bixby "Let's talk dirty," and the female voice will respond with a honeyed accent, "I don't want to end up on Santa's naughty list." Ask the same question to the program's male voice and it replies "I've read that soil erosion is a real dirt problem." In South Africa, where I live and conduct my research into gender biases in artificial intelligence, Samsung now offers Bixby in various voices depending on which language you choose. The voices of Julia, Lisa and Stephanie are coquettish and eager. John is clever and straightforward.

When you're lost, Siri can be your best friend. But if she can't retrieve the right address from your contacts, she can drive you crazy. And so it is with the legion of virtual personal assistants that are entering our lives. From Amazon's Alexa to Google's Home, people are busy talking to intelligent machines as never before. It's estimated that more than 60 percent of internet traffic is now generated by machine-to-machine, and person-to-machine, communication.
