Red Mirror: Gender, Robots, Cyborgs - part 2

In English below.

I terminens första Red Mirror fortsätter vi på ämnet könad teknologi.

Vi kommer gemensamt läsa två artiklar av Laurie Penny och diskutera dessa:

"Why do we give robots female names? Because we don't want to consider their feelings"

https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/feminism/2016/04/why-do-we-give-robots-female-names-because-we-dont-want-consider-their

och

Robots are racist and sexist. Just like the people who created them

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/apr/20/robots-racist-sexist-people-machines-ai-language

Att har varit närvarande på förra träffen är inte nödvändigt - då såg vi filmen "Cyborg Feminism and the Future of Technology"(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC9VZSicXgY), som inte är relaterad till artiklarna som sådana (men är sevärd!)

In the first Red Mirror for this semester we'll continue our discussion on gendered technology.

Together we'll read two articles by Laurie Penny and then discuss those:

"Why do we give robots female names? Because we don't want to consider their feelings"

https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/feminism/2016/04/why-do-we-give-robots-female-names-because-we-dont-want-consider-their

and

Robots are racist and sexist. Just like the people who created them

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/apr/20/robots-racist-sexist-people-machines-ai-language

It's not necessary to have attended the previous session to come to this one. In the least session we watched

"Cyborg Feminism and the Future of Technology"(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC9VZSicXgY), which is good

but not not related to the articles per se.
