According to the article by author Sylvie Borau, posted above The Conversation, Gender imbalances in the AI ​​world are a widespread trend. The status of female robots more than male robots could have detrimental consequences for women in the future. So why do female AIs appear more than male AIs? Direction to more humane robots AI experts prioritize female sex when programming robots because there are factors in women that are more important than men. Specifically, women have more warmth and ability to experience emotions than men due to their sensitivity. For AI, emotional experience is the elements they can emulate humans. To research on this issue, Borau created evolutionary scales and surveyed more than 3,000 people to see personality such as warm, cheerful, friendly, orderly, polite … whichever more. Not only suitable for the current social context, female robots are also considered to be easier to learn emotionally than male robots. Photo: Wonderland Magazine. Based on research theory, women possess the extreme human qualities more than men. Therefore, female robots are also more “human” than male robots. The way female AI deduces also opens up favorable directions for AI problems. In general, the research results show that female robots are endowed with qualities appropriate to the current service context of society. We tend to trust a female robot more. According to the The Conversation, Programming experts consider women the right group to develop AI because they realize that this gender possesses the qualities of a superman. Risk of increasing gender inequality In the view of writer Kate Manne, the quality of women can overcome the invisible gender barrier. The fact that women make up the majority of AI also stems from the perception that women are more “human” than men. However, UNESCO warns that gender imbalances in the AI ​​world can create prejudices against women, for example that some will view women as obedient groups. In the future, if the number of female robots explodes, materialized prejudices may emerge. Photo: GeekWire. Sylvie Borau thinks the process of turning women into AI development agents can have many consequences. Accordingly, in the future, when too many female AIs with high authenticity appear, women’s perspectives are tools designed to meet the needs of the owner, which will implicitly form in society. This could potentially result in more disregard for and loss of human rights among more women. Researcher Borau calls this human materialization. In social philosophy, materialization ( Objectification ) is the treatment of a human being (sometimes an animal) like an object. Therefore, Sylvie Borau’s research also emphasizes the ethical issue that AI designers must pay attention to. Seeing women as the key target for AI development doesn’t deliver good results for an egalitarian robot world. According to Sylvie Borau, we need to take measures to prevent women from falling into such prejudices. For example a solution similar to Google. The company stipulates that its AIs will be assigned a random male / female voice with equal probability.

As it turns out, the act of killing a spider is not only a “bad omen” but also harms the home ecosystem. Even the cleanest houses have inhabited spiders. In the journal The Conversation, entomologist Matt Bertone and colleagues at North Carolina State University in the United States published a study of 50 homes in North Carolina and in each home they found spiders. According to Bertone, arachnids are important members of the inner human ecosystem. They are “omnivorous” predators and eat almost anything they catch: from a fly trapped in a window to a mosquito trying to suck human blood. Sometimes, the spiders eat their own kind. A house spider is watching for flies Many of the “victims” of spiders are potential vectors of disease. There is even a species of jumping spider in Africa that only likes to eat blood-sucking insects in the house. So when you kill a spider by hand, you accidentally “kill” a “soldier” to destroy the pathogen in your home. The indoor spiders are not the venomous monster spiders in Australia that we still see in newspapers. During his research, Bertone often found only common indoor spiders like Pholcidae * and the most harmless arthropods of the family Theridiidae **. Both of these spiders spread silk where they live. Spiders Pholcidae sometimes leave their webs to hunt and eat other spiders around. I don’t want to see this scene in my house at all, what about you guys? The truth is that most spiders are poisonous, but the venom of most of them is not strong enough to harm humans. The spider’s fangs are also often too weak to bite through the skin. Hollywood movies have sprinkled us in the head with spiders attacking us while we are off guard. However, in contrast to these movie “myths”, the spiders almost never crawl past a sleeping person. The act of snoring, puffing, or even ordinary human breathing is enough to scare away the vertebrates in the home. Furthermore, spiders are afraid of humans and always try to avoid us. We are far more dangerous to them than they are to us. Cases of spider bites are extremely rare. The scene is haunting for many people Although there are some highly toxic species like the Black Widow, they very rarely bite humans and even so, these bites rarely cause serious medical disorders. If you have phobia or simply don’t want to see spiders crawling around where you live, follow the scientists’ recommendations: instead of killing arthropods, catch them in one. box and drop off the road. The spiders themselves will find a new place and we do not have to carry the “killing” karma. *: Pholcidae are arachnids in the arachnid family of the suborder Araneomorphae. They have a body length of 2–10 mm and their legs can be up to 50 mm long. They can be found on every continent in the world except Antarctica. They weave a messy, irregular mesh. Spider webs are woven in wet and dark areas, in caves and under rocks, and abandoned animal caves. Do these spiders look familiar? Spider webs do not have cohesive properties, but their unusual insect trap structure makes it difficult for prey to escape. Spiders quickly cover their prey with spider webs and then inflict a poisonous bite to kill the prey. The prey can be eaten or stored immediately thereafter. **: Theridiidae is a family of arachnids of the order Araneae. This family has 109 genera, a total of 2295 species. The spider Theridiidae is usually reclusive, almost harmless and extremely gentle.
