Robots and artificial intelligence technologies are rapidly entering the field of social reproduction. As they enter our households and our lives, raising questions about the ethics of care and inter-human relations, they are creating various social and philosophical issues. Can machines provide care? Is caring a uniquely human quality? Are machines replacing human relationships? These questions could be multiplied. However, the answers are not straightforward. In this article, I will explore such questions. I will attempt to understand social robots within this framework and explore the notion that the perception of care work as ‘women’s work’ results in robots and artificial intelligence being imbued with ‘feminine’ attributes. My aim is to rethink the human–machine relationship and the above questions in the context of care.
