I often wonder how are we going to deal with equality in the workplace of the future. The more AI becomes like us and works next to us, the more we’ll have to worry about the social aspects and robot rights.

Here’s what I call the “Marin Paradox”: more gendered we make our robots ( It’s Time to Talk About Robot Gender Stereotypes ) more we’ll expose them to our conscious and unconscious biases. On the other hand, making future humanoid robots perfectly gender-less will more likely push them into the Uncanny Valley.
