It may have even scored higher on the test for the same reasons, depending on how it was conducted and what the test audience was presented as the context.Somebody'd have to do some serious cataloguing of fiction to prove it's always the female AIs that are evil (it's not always, HAL from 2001, the progenitor of all evil movie AIs disproves that). But I'm certain a casual observer who only catches a slice of sci-fi movies would see a trend. The perception is there, whether the facts exactly align or lean toward confirming it.it comes down to this.  If we didn't have gender disparity in rights, treatment, pay, etc, we wouldn't be having this as a concern as those issues extend to cyberspace.  solve those problems AND keep it solved for 3-4 hundred years and the concern won't exist (unless 60% of sci-fi villain AIs are women in the 2300's).</blockquote>
