This paper briefly states the chatting AI’s gender discrimination in AI algorithm designing issues caused by unconsciousness social gender stereotyping. Besides, this paper also explores the causes of conversational AI’s gender discrimination which is related to gender characteristics in the context, and further discusses the continuous influences of AI’s training statements in modern society. In the end, it will attempt to address former issues with the cutting point in the algorithms designing, objective bias avoidance and default settings of conversation AI to propose solutions.
