Examination of Gender Bias in Artificial Intelligence Bots

With the increasing use of artificial intelligence tools, it is observed that these genderless and androgenous systems are frequently referred to by users with male pronouns. It is stated that the habit of associating social authority and power roles with men is also reflected in the field of artificial intelligence.

An analysis written by a student writer at Her Campus at West Chester points out that authority and respectable professions have been associated with men since childhood. As an extension of the patriarchal structure in society, it is stated that artificial intelligence bots are predominantly characterized by users with male pronouns despite their genderless designs.

While emphasizing that artificial intelligence is an artificial structure capable of imitating human-like forms of expression, passion, humor, and dominance, the attribution of gender by users even in the face of these synthetic expressions is criticized. It is stated that the connections established after new technologies such as voice note features mimic human speech style are a notable situation showing how gender stereotypes are reflected in artificial intelligence.
