In an attempt to do away with the gender norms, a project by creative studio Virtue Nordic and human rights festival Copenhagen Pride, in conjunction with social scientist Julie Carpenter, has given birth to what is called, world’s first genderless AI voice, called Q.

Think of me like Siri or Alexa, but neither male nor female. I’m created for a future where we are no longer defined by gender, but rather how we define ourselves, Q says in the promotional video. But for me to become a third option for voice assistance, I need your help, it continues. Share my voice with Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. And together we can ensure that technology recognizes us all.
