Hosted by Eleanor Drage and Kerry Mackereth, The Good Robot is a podcast which explores the many complex intersections between gender, feminism and technology.

The Good Robot Hot Take: Most AI Scientists on Screen Suck

Welcome to our second episode of the Good Robot Hot Takes, where every week Kerry and Eleanor give you their spicy opinions about top issues in tech. This week we talk about science fiction films, why we love Aliens and Sigourney Weaver, how female AI scientists and professionals are represented on screen, how this contributes to the unequal gender dynamics of the AI industry, why Iron Man’s Tony Stark sucks, and why he and Ex Machina’s Nathan Bateman aren’t just bad apples but an epidemic of conceited AI scientists on screen.
