Thesis
Intelligent Virtual Assistants (IVAs) are currently fed by neurotypical databases. The data they use and the behaviors they copy exclude groups with neurodevelopmental disorders such as dyslexia, dyspraxia or autism. These groups are not only capable of performing everyday tasks, but also contribute to diversity and uniqueness in our societies.
Thesis is an IVA with Asperger’s Syndrome that, by illustrating a specific problem affecting a specific group of people (the lack of data on Asperger’s Syndrome in women) opens the debate on a highly relevant topic that affects us all (AI and its behaviors) as well as the responsibility that the design of these tools ultimately entails.
