Enactive Artificial Intelligence (eAI) motivates new directions towards gender-inclusive AI. Beyond a mirror reflecting our values, AI design has a profound impact on shaping the enaction of cultural identities. The traditionally unrepresentative, white, cisgender, heterosexual dominant narratives are partial, and thereby active vehicles of social marginalisation. Drawing from enactivism, the paper first characterises AI design as a cultural practice; which is then specified in feminist technoscience principles, i.e. how gender and other embodied identity markers are entangled in AI. These principles are then discussed in the specific case of feminist human-robot interaction. The paper, then, stipulates the conditions for eAI: an eAI robot is a robot that (1) plays a cultural role in individual and social identity, (2) this role takes the form of human-robot dynamical interaction, and (3) interaction is embodied. Drawing from eAI, finally, the paper offers guidelines for I. eAI gender-inclusive AI, and II. subverting existing gender norms of robot design.
翻译:活跃的人工智能(eAI)激发了对包容性的AI的新方向。除了反映我们价值观的镜子外,AI的设计对文化特性的形成产生了深远的影响。传统上不具代表性的、白色的、精辟的、异性占支配地位的叙事是片面的,因此是社会边缘化的积极工具。从自成一体的观念中,本文首先将AI设计描述为一种文化习俗,然后在女权主义技术科学原则中加以具体说明,即性别和其他体现的身份标志是如何纠缠在一起的。这些原则随后在女权主义人与机器人互动的具体案例中加以讨论。然后,该文件规定了eAI的条件:eAI机器人是一个机器人,(1) 在个人和社会身份上发挥文化作用,(2)这种作用的形式是人与机器人的动态互动,(3)互动是体现的。最后,该文件为I. eAI性别包容性的AI 和II 推翻了机器人设计的现有性别规范提供了指导方针。
