“…The potential for social robots (and/or particular HRI design choices) to objectively influence user behavior has been demonstrated in a variety of HRI scenarios, from convincing people to water plants with orange juice (Salem et al, 2015 ) to increasing charity donations (Wills et al, 2016 ) to weakening application of moral norms (Jackson and Williams, 2019 ). Concerning the potential to impact moral norms, should it also be possible that robots can strengthen or otherwise positively influence moral norms, then the implications of Winkle et al's work become two-fold.…”

IntroductionThis paper presents Enactive Artificial Intelligence (eAI) as a gender-inclusive approach to AI, emphasizing the need to address social marginalization resulting from unrepresentative AI design.MethodsThe study employs a multidisciplinary framework to explore the intersectionality of gender and technoscience, focusing on the subversion of gender norms within Robot-Human Interaction in AI.ResultsThe results reveal the development of four ethical vectors, namely explainability, fairness, transparency, and auditability, as essential components for adopting an inclusive stance and promoting gender-inclusive AI.DiscussionBy considering these vectors, we can ensure that AI aligns with societal values, promotes equity and justice, and facilitates the creation of a more just and equitable society.

“…Some such works have specifically considered robot influence on (im)moral user behaviours, e.g. attempting to increase charity donations [23], change perceptions of property damage [24] and prevent littering [8]. We suggest that using social robots to educate about, challenge and dispel gender stereotypes, with the aim of reducing gender bias in users, represents another such application of using social robots to positively influence user attitude and behaviour.…”

Recent works have identified both risks and opportunities afforded by robot gendering. Specifically, robot gendering risks the propagation of harmful gender stereotypes, but may positively influence robot acceptance/impact, and/or actually offer a vehicle with which to educate about and challenge traditional gender stereotypes. Our work sits at the intersection of these ideas, to explore whether robot gendering might impact robot credibility and persuasiveness specifically when that robot is being used to try and dispel gender stereotypes and change interactant attitudes. Whilst we demonstrate no universal impact of robot gendering on first impressions of the robot, we demonstrate complex interactions between robot gendering, interactant gender and observer gender which emerge when the robot engages in challenging gender stereotypes. Combined with previous work, our results paint a mixed picture regarding how best to utilise robot gendering when challenging gender stereotypes this way. Specifically, whilst we find some potential evidence in favour of utilising male presenting robots for maximum impact in this context, we question whether this actually reflects the kind of gender biases we actually set out to challenge with this work.

“…In the field of HRI, several robots have been developed to promote donation [31], which has been treated as a representation of altruistic behavior [32]. In addition, in the fields of HRI and HAI, studies have been done on the factors of robots and agents that promote donation, such as the social background of users [33], where a robot is installed [34], the gender of a robot [35], the appearance of a robot [36], the head behavior of humanoid robots [37], and the facial expressions of virtual agents [38].…”

Perspective taking, which allows people to imagine another's thinking and goals, is known to be an effective method for promoting prosocial behaviors in human-computer interactions. However, most of the previous studies have focused on simulating human-human interactions in the real world by offering participants experiences related to various moral tasks through the use of human-like virtual agents. In this study, we investigated whether taking the perspective of a different robot in a robot-altruistic task would influence the social behaviors of participants in a dictator game. Our findings showed that participants who watched the help-receiver view exhibited more altruistic behaviors toward a robot than those who watched the help-provider view. We also found that, after watching robots from two different viewpoints in the task, participants did not change their behavior toward another participant.
