Alexa Or Alex Or Neither? Exploring Gender-Neutral Voices, Gender Framing and Consumer Judgments of Synthetic Voices
This work provides the first exploration of gender-neutral synthetic voices and non-binary gender-framing on consumer’s perception. In two experiments, in which the authors create a gender-neutral synthetic voice, this work finds that framing this voice as male (vs. female, gender-neutral or control) increases evaluations of both warmth and competence.
