Digital Assistant bots are becoming ever more common - Alexa playing music on your countertop, Siri taking notes on your phone, a little voice bubbling out of your watch to rattle off the things you almost forgot you needed to buy during the big weekend shop. They are useful little servants. But, barking orders at something that talks back, something that seems a little bit human but totally subservient… it can be a little uncomfortable. Aleks Krotoski presents. First broadcast on The Digital Human, 22 October 2018.
