Bring me some Budweiser redwine robot!

Now, this is not raining on my own, or your parade…

Gender equality … Words we usually don’t hear very often when working in tech or IT. There don’t tend to be any women to push away, nor are there a lot of women not being let in caused by male bias and/or protectionism. So, we don’t hear anyone crying Inequality either …

We could look at it through the lens that only see problems, and then we’ll have a murder, but no body. We wouldn´t know what to do since no one claims misconduct.
On the other hand, we could look at it through the lens that’s looking for possibilities, then we don’t see a problem (the (in)equality), but we see a solution. The solution is, correcting something before it becomes a problem, which we know it will be sooner or later (which in itself could be labeled as a problem to begin with).

There’s an article called “Solve gender bias before AI makes it worse” on the lack of women influencing AI. This is very interesting since AI is not only programming functions reacting to actions, it’s a great deal about distributing different functions answering different actions.

Even though my wife seldom call me a man (more often a boy), I act predictively manly in set situations. if I were to create an AI response-pattern it would certainly assume that the end-user in contact with the AI were a man. I could try to make it as gender-neutral as possible, but a woman would certainly call me on that, due to small nuances in language etc.

This wouldn’t be mentioned as long as AI stays away from business or customer-centered activities … But as we know, AI isn’t being developed for fun, but for generating money and business value. Half of us are women … Finish the article with your own imagination …

To help your imagination; More men than women prefer beer before wine, and vice versa. What would a vending machine serve you if you asked for a drink? Would it dare to ask additional questions, or would it serve beer or wine depending on HOW (what words) you asked? I would have programmed it to act on the word “drink”, that would give you beer. A female perspective would perhaps listen to and create actions depending on if you said -“Give me/Bring me”, or -“Please give me/Serve me” …
