Is there a sinister side to the rise of female robots?

There is a popular idea that artificial intelligence (AI) is out to get us. United Nations tried to address this at AI for Good conference in Geneva. The event in July intended to promote AI to help solve global problems was described as the largest-ever gathering of humanoid robots. There was Ai-Da (the "world's first ultra-realistic humanoid robot artist") and Grace (the "world’s foremost nursing assistant robot") as well as Sophia, Nadine, and Mika. There was even a rock star robot, Desdemona.
