A Japanese academic journal has drawn criticism for putting a broom-wielding female robot on its cover
The illustration appears on the front of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence journal, and was submitted as part of a competition, the Asahi Shumbun newspaper reports. It was created by a female artist to show how artificial intelligence could affect our daily lives.
Academics and social media users also seem to think the journal sends the wrong message. Hideyuki Hirakawa, a professor at Osaka University, told Asahi Shumbun the cover was "inappropriate" for a scientific journal.
