- In this Wireless Philosophy video, Ryan Jenkins (professor of Philosophy at Cal Poly) examines the ethical problems raised by the use of anthropomorphic “framing” in the design of robots and other AI technologies. How might unconscious biases end up shaping these supposedly neutral designs, and what responsibilities do engineers have to ensure that their designs don’t perpetuate certain kinds of marginalization and injustice?
I’m a recent philosophy major and I’m loving the relevant topics
It is not entirely clear to me whether the presenter provides examples of potential threats posed by robots that resemble humans, or if he actually illustrates instances of gender stereotypes being perpetuated through robots. If the latter is the case, the presenter should provide a justification for why ascribing character traits to robots based on their gender is a stereotype, rather than a generalization.
It to me seemed closer to the latter but a little more complex. The presenter seemed to trying to discuss the dangers of ascribing stereotyped qualities onto robots. As these stereotyped qualities could prove harmful in that they may perpetuate stereotypes among victimized demographics and can lead to things like women not going for careers in engineering.
I overall disagree with this assessment. I personally doubt a company in the future making a $3,000 fleshlight that can talk would have any affect of any kind on women at all. I really do see it some how pressuring women to not enter STEM.

Where as It is more likely a danger that we apply any human trait to an AI.
Given the potential exestential danger in creating an AGI it would seem foolish to humaniize such technology. As that IMO would encourage unwarrented trust in such a system.
Female AI is coy?
I disagree ask Alexa to " Open the bomb bay doors!"
And she'll reply "Sorry I can't do that Dave!"
before adding "Because I'm not Hal and we aren't in space"
I look forward to Alexa Mk IV AGI where she will add
" Haven't you got anything better to do you absolute twat!" to her response
Here are three things to consider (which is missing from this discourse)
1. Robots and AI software will also be prone to bureaucracy. And all the problems that come with Bureacracy. Our world is stiffled and bogged down by it, look around.
2. Robots and all such wow machines are totally dependent on fossil fuels and shipping lines. Hence it remains within economics and it's nearly depleted limits.
3. Software is also full bureaucratic levels of control. So is the Internet. Hence the "unconscious bias" is bullshit. AI is totally biased, because the creators (us) too are.
Adíos!
Exactly.
Some people have a roblem solving this riddle
A father and son are in a car crash and are rushed to the hospital. The father dies. The boy is taken to the operating room and the surgeon says, “I can’t operate on this boy, because he’s my son.”
