AI systems are FOR SURE inherently neutral and do not possess personal characteristics such as gender. However, they can be designed to mimic gender through front-end choices like voice tone.

But more importantly, AI can develop biases during training, potentially favoring or discriminating against certain genders, races, or nationalities. This is where ethical AI comes into play, ensuring that AI systems are designed and trained to minimize bias and promote fairness.

AI itself does not have a gender in the same way humans do. The term "gender" typically refers to the social and cultural roles, behaviors, and identities that a society considers appropriate for men and women. AI, being a machine or a software program, does not possess a biological sex or identity.

"Many companies, like Google, have been clearly gendering their digital assistants," says Hilary Bergen, a researcher at The New School in New York.

Although things have evolved since the publication in 2016 of her scientific article 'I'd blush if I could,' she explains that voice assistants are "clearly modelled on female secretaries".
