Siri talks to HAL 9000 about A.I. sexism


The glass ceiling of gendered voices in Artificial Intelligence. Or: sexA.I.sm. Science fiction has shaped the aesthetics and sounds of tech today. So, here's a question: what if Apple's Siri talked to 2001: A Space Odyssey's HAL 9000? The subject: why Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have feminine voices and why HAL - not to mention, IBM's Watson - talk like guys. http://www.popsci.com * * * Producer/Video By - Tom McNamara Footage - 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Warner bros.
