Meet Q, the Genderless Voice
Award: Future Impact Pencil
Future Impact Pencil / Future / Initiative / Equality and Diversity / 2019
Boot up the options for your digital voice assistant of choice and you’re likely to find two options for the gender you prefer interacting with: male or female. The problem is, that binary choice isn’t an accurate representation of the complexities of gender. Some people don’t identify as either male or female, and they may want their voice assistant to mirror that identity.
As third gender options are being recognized across the globe, it feels stagnant that technology is still stuck in the past only providing two binary options.
That’s why Copenhagen Pride is launching Q, the world’s first genderless voice for voice AI.
Created for a future where we are no longer defined by gender.
