Interestingly, women were more open toward AI applications than physical robots, hinting at their preference for conversations over actual products. It is, of course, a generalization. But it still calls to question Tesla and Amazon’s recent announcements on investing in developing physical robots. These investments might be biased in favor of men.
As we continue to explore the possibilities and limitations of communicative AI and social robotics, it is important to keep in mind the ethical and societal implications of these technologies and how they can be improved to address ethical considerations. In particular, women’s concerns about emotional technology must be heard in a heavily male-dominated industry. We must ensure that AI applications and social robotics are developed to benefit men and women equally and align with our values and social expectations.
