With the proliferation of female robots like Sophia, chatbots like\u00a0Amelia<\/a>\u00a0, and the popularity of female virtual assistants like Siri (Apple), Alexa (Amazon) and Cortana (Microsoft), artificial intelligence seems to have a gender issue.<\/p>\n

This gender imbalance in AI is a strong trend that has drawn strong criticism in the media.\u00a0Even\u00a0UNESCO<\/a>\u00a0warns of the dangers of this practice, as it could reinforce stereotypes that women are objects.<\/p>\n

But why inject femininity into artificial smart objects?\u00a0If we want to curb this bias, we must begin by better understanding the deep roots of this phenomenon.<\/p>\n
