This document discusses the importance of incorporating humanities such as psychology, linguistics, and philosophy into artificial intelligence. It notes that AI applications need input from fields like art and the humanities to avoid potential biases. The document advocates for diversity in AI teams to help build more inclusive systems and get different perspectives involved in this important work.

Hackathon in the Vatican – ethical
And for social good
Leah Fessler wrote an eye-opening piece after testing several personal assistant bots to see how they’d stand up to sexual harassment (literally, they sexually harassed the bots, who, by the way, are most often defaulted to female voices unless you change them).
Well, the findings weren’t exactly great. Instead of fighting back against abuse, each bot actually helped entrench sexist tropes through their passivity.
I was particularly drawn to the following quote:
“Siri, Alexa, Cortana, and Google Home have women’s voices because women’s voices make more money. Yes, Silicon Valley is male-dominated and notoriously sexist, but this phenomenon runs deeper than that. Bot creators are primarily driven by predicted market success, which depends on customer satisfaction — and customers like their digital servants to sound like women.”
We could get into a lengthy discussion on how this ties to capitalism and perpetuates historic norms, but Leah pushed even further. Beyond having these bots “be female,” what about how they were treated? What would they do?

In her excellent article “Men Systemize. Women Empathize. Is Your Website Optimized for Gender?”, Liraz Margalit, head of behavioral research at Clicktable says “Girls watch faces, boys watch objects.”i n general, females are stronger empathizers and males are stronger systemizers
At first glance, it’s clear that many more women were engaged with the top menu bar – clicking into the various categories to view the different food recipes. Also, women were more likely to click on the left-side icons rather than stay solely on the recipe. Men, on the other hand, tended to be far more limited in their clicks – they search exactly for what they came for and then leave the site when they are done.
See the side-by-side Attention-Heatmaps comparing men attention on the web page (left) and women attention (right). As seen by the narrow ‘hot’ band in the center of the page, men were very focused on the ingredients of a recipe and how to prepare it, women, on the other hand, browsed up and down the page more and were less focused – as seen by the wider, more diffused ‘hot’ band.
Both heatmaps confirm that men were far more systematic in their behavior on the site while women fit far more the empathizing cognitive style.
