Medlir Mema, Chris Lamont, and Young Diogenes. Art by Aubrie Mema. Season 5 Episode 2

Medlir talks with Dr. Sylvie Borau, an associate professor at TBS Education, Toulouse, France, where she teaches ethical marketing and consumer behavior.  They discuss gender imbalance in AI and the issue of 'Benevolent Sexism.'  Together they also consider the implications of one of Dr. Boreau's recent studies which concludes that female bots are endowed with more positive human qualities than male bots, and they are perceived as more human than male bots when compared to both animals and machines.
