I find this a rather interesting quirk of linguistics. In many languages, nouns have a "grammatical gender". For example, in Czech, "inteligence" has a feminine grammatical gender, so you are supposed to use feminine pronouns when refering to it. This sometimes leaks through with ESL people. I wonder if speakers of these languages anthropomorphize AI (or even animals or non-living objects!) more than native english speakers...
