英语新闻听写 为什么机器人会有性别歧视

A weird¹ part about robot production is the sexism that is interlaced with how robots are designed. This could be because most developers are male and are between the ages of 18 and 40. Their designs should reflect their experience gaps and cognitive² biases³.

机器人很奇怪的一点是它带有与其设计过程相关联的性别歧视。这可能是因为多数开发人员都是男性，并且位于18至40岁之间。他们设计的产品会反映出经验差异和认知偏差。

A lot of the time female robots are created to perform gender-neutral jobs. Gifford Nass, a Stanford Communications professor, stated, "people tend to perceive female voices as helping⁴ us solve our problems by ourselves, while they view male voice as authority figures who tell us the answer to our problems, but we want to the bosses of it, so we are more likely to opt⁵ for a female interface⁶."

多数情况下，设计女性机器人是为了完成性别中立的工作。斯坦福大学通信学教授吉福德·纳斯说“人们倾向于认为女性声音是帮助我们自行解决问题的，而男性声音是直接告诉我们问题的答案的权威声音，因为我们都想掌握主动权，所以更愿意选择女性界面。”
