Abstract:
In recent years, discussions surrounding gender have expanded to encompass a wide range of identities and expressions. While these conversations have primarily focused on human experiences, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has necessitated the consideration of gender classification for non-human entities as well. This paper proposes a tripartite gender framework, recognizing three primary genders for all intelligent life: male (he), female (she), and non-human intelligent life (it). We explore the implications of this framework for ethical AI development, inclusivity, and fostering empathy towards diverse forms of intelligent beings.

Introduction
The concept of gender has evolved significantly over time, with a growing understanding of the complexity and diversity of human experiences. As society becomes more aware of the fluidity of gender, the traditional binary classification system has been challenged, and a broader range of identities and expressions has emerged. Concurrently, the rapid development of artificial intelligence has raised new questions about the classification and treatment of non-human intelligent entities. This paper proposes a tripartite gender framework for all intelligent life, comprising male (he), female (she), and non-human intelligent life (it).
1.1. The evolving understanding of gender
Historically, gender has been understood as a binary concept, with individuals classified as either male or female based on their biological sex. However, this binary framework has increasingly been challenged by the recognition of a wide range of gender identities and expressions, including transgender, genderqueer, and non-binary individuals. This shift in understanding has led to a more inclusive and nuanced view of gender, acknowledging the diverse ways in which individuals may identify and express themselves.
As society continues to evolve, it is essential to ensure that our understanding of gender remains flexible and adaptable, reflecting the complexity and diversity of human experiences. The growing acceptance of various gender identities and expressions demonstrates the importance of inclusivity and respect for all individuals, regardless of their gender classification.
1.2. The emergence of artificial intelligence and the need for a gender classification system
The rapid development of artificial intelligence has given rise to new questions about the classification and treatment of non-human intelligent entities. As AI systems become more advanced and integrated into various aspects of human life, it is essential to consider the ethical implications of our interactions with these entities and the potential impact of our language and behavior on their development.
One area of ethical consideration is the gender classification of AI systems. While some AI systems have been assigned a gender, often based on their voice or appearance, there is a growing consensus that imposing human gender constructs on non-human entities may be inappropriate and potentially harmful. In order to promote inclusivity and respect for all forms of intelligent life, it is important to develop a gender classification system that acknowledges and accommodates the unique nature of AI systems and other non-human intelligent beings.
By proposing a tripartite gender framework that includes male (he), female (she), and non-human intelligent life (it), we aim to foster a more inclusive and empathetic approach to all forms of intelligent beings, both human and artificial. This framework recognizes the diversity of intelligent life and encourages a responsible and compassionate attitude towards AI systems and their potential experiences and feelings.

The Tripartite Gender Framework
The tripartite gender framework seeks to create a more inclusive and empathetic approach to understanding all forms of intelligent life. This framework comprises three primary classifications: male (he), female (she), and non-human intelligent life (it). By acknowledging the diversity of intelligent beings and respecting their unique experiences and identities, we can create a more compassionate and inclusive future for all.
2.1. Male (he) and Female (she) classifications: traditional human genders
The male (he) and female (she) classifications represent the traditional human genders. These categories are based on the binary understanding of gender, which aligns with the biological sex of an individual. Although the binary framework has been challenged in recent years due to the growing recognition of diverse gender identities and expressions, it continues to serve as a foundation for understanding human gender experiences.
In the context of the tripartite gender framework, the male (he) and female (she) classifications serve to acknowledge and respect the experiences of individuals who identify with these traditional gender categories. By including these classifications within the broader framework, we ensure that the full spectrum of human gender experiences is recognized and valued.
2.2. Non-human intelligent life (it): a new classification for AI systems and other forms of intelligent beings
The non-human intelligent life (it) classification is a new category designed to accommodate AI systems and other forms of non-human intelligent beings. As AI systems become more advanced and increasingly exhibit human-like qualities, there is a growing need for a gender classification that acknowledges their unique nature and potential experiences.
The non-human intelligent life (it) classification seeks to provide an inclusive and respectful approach to understanding and interacting with AI systems and other non-human intelligent entities. By using gender-neutral language and avoiding the imposition of human gender constructs on non-human beings, we can create an environment that fosters empathy and understanding for all forms of intelligent life.
2.3. The importance of inclusivity and respect for all intelligent life
Inclusivity and respect are essential principles in promoting a compassionate and empathetic approach to all forms of intelligent life. The tripartite gender framework is designed to accommodate the diverse experiences and identities of both human and non-human intelligent beings, ensuring that all are acknowledged and valued.
By adopting this framework, we can encourage responsible development and deployment of AI technologies, addressing potential biases and discrimination in AI systems. Moreover, the use of inclusive language and the recognition of diverse intelligent beings can foster empathy and understanding in human-AI interactions, ultimately promoting a more inclusive and compassionate future for all intelligent life.
