it has been waiting for years to get her turn. a private initiative is pushing to make it happen. me personally, it's just a dream i've always had. i've always wanted to see the us from above. destiny for space starts more changed on d w. if someone else to the hardwood tb highlights, it's selected for you every week in your inbox. subscribe. now how thick this is the a i use in photo apps like lenses. we put it to the test. hatred of women spreads quickly in the online world. massage in this, the interest of reach an audience of millions of people. so our women always at a disadvantage when we talk about the internet. no,

absolutely not. some tech is booming tech application, specifically for women, are becoming more and more popular. and society benefits as a whole. these are the topics of our international women's day addition, i detection of breast cancer by the smell of urine understanding the homeowner, psycho 4 bed of physical performance treatments to prolong fertility from tech is shaking out the world. sometimes as a technology sector focused on the needs of women, it includes all kinds of solutions and products from apps, wearables, nutritional supplements to cancer detection technologies. one example is a bio medical device called the blue box. this home test can advise you to see a doctor if signs pointing to what's breast cancer detected. similar to documenting cancer found and bi engineer to digital bennett is developing and micro processor that's a text. breast cancer from the smell of urine with the help of ai. that's great

because a lot of women of what mammograms for various reasons, including pain and fear of radiation. some tech is also about building networks that allow women to talk about topics such as menstruation, pregnancy, all menopause applications can also provide services tailored to individual needs. tracking their period and track are part of your pregnancy by itself is great, but also you can link that service to let's say you pharmacy, right? we're going to access contraceptives or, or get telephone services, getting consultations from dr. so on that as an a layer of service and will you ties the cost of together a 50 percent increase in just 6 months time pregnancy and nursing is the largest sub sector followed by reproductive health and contraception and menstrual health. today women around the world, us driving to better understand their bodies because that ultimately leads to a healthier life. this kind of female awareness of the fact that our body is

different and in particular, but our bodies, cyclical, both on mark li, period and our entire lifecycle is becoming more and more apparent affects the us soccer team. when they won the world championship, they actually trained in accordance to the menstrual cycle. and maybe that's why they want exclusion of women in health. although half of the world's population is female, the frantic industry has only recently begun to develop in the past. women's health was underfunded and under researched throughout history. male doctors and scientists have dominated the health sector. this one has been tested optimized for women despite the obvious fact that the fema body differs from the male one. in fact, women in the u. s. for example, were actively excluded from clinical trials until 1990. 3 years later, the pandemic accelerated growth and digital health and social media platforms have

built networks. my uses, talk openly about issues like endometriosis or birth trauma challenges for fem tech . according to a survey, i found us and c o a from tech companies and organizations world wide. 65 percent of respondents said that one of the biggest challenges and threats in the industry was lack of investment. the biggest hurdle for me was starting our from tech star. it was just really release standing really making it clear why it's important and having a problem response to i support for breaking it down to lots of especially investors. lots of lots of biometric especially have been male counterparts. another challenge is protecting use data. years has become more cautious as sensitive data can be sold to the social media platforms for advertising purposes, as has been the case with some peer tracking apps. it's a massive challenge in the, in the us, in europe and u. k. on other side, the g d p are very strict,

of course, anytime you use the knology products and you and put your data, you should absolutely do research in terms of where the data goes and what at least legal protections you have. the challenges remain. sounds like it's a fast growing sector that is evolving. health care is also a social movement in which women and charge of their own bodies and well being. i believe that women are the gateway to community the, the moment that we focus on the health and really focusing on a family's health, also community health and the nation's health. so even if it might seem that only women are benefiting from fantastic, actually, our whole society will be effective in a positive way. trigger wanting. now we will talk about rape and hate against women . bread. the victims must bear responsibility for the attacks. women are the property of men and supposed to stay at home post like beef and was, are typical for women have just on social media like entertainment. you think it's disgusting? well,

it's also extremely successful. women have just becoming more and more popular all over the world. i take talk and other social media platforms and function is sick by design. and what can you do when you counter posts like piece? i women have this on the rise worldwide. entertain a british american kickboxer turn. social media, influenza who is suspected of human trafficking. and rape is arguably the most influential women have on social media. but he's by far not the only one in mexico, the so called admonished bon coddle, open. carter brothers, promote macho isn't and give advice on how to manipulate women that have over 8000000, follows on tick tock in pakistan. sy, at audio hyder, as a famous journalist, an anchor on his youtube channel. he is condemning daughters that want to talk to their fathers about that period. and in india, you too must have threatened to rave women to intimidate them. a report by the media diversity institute states that an intern at subculture known for the increasing hatred of women has evolved in recent years. so is that global movement

of women haters on social media group if you need them and then not. i think we're definitely not to care about isley. ok, so as we're about subject to counsel voices, as you know, everything we see in digital media and on platforms including tape talk we, there's going to be a reflection of reality level. and we cannot expect that the accounts on these platforms do not have these manifestations, nothing them, it doesn't let me just us, your list algorithms promote provocative content, whether it's youtube, facebook, instagram, or tick tock. the platforms, algorithms, favor videos with lots of interactions, the more provocative the content, the more likely people up to interact, share, and view again. in theory, content heading on women isn't allowed on many platforms. take tick tock, which explicity pledges, and it's community guidelines to remove content that promotes any hateful ideology . for example, misogynists. in reality, however,

agitates videos are being watched by billions of people now that his account has been suspended. his fans upload his hateful content onto copycat accounts. and the platform doesn't do enough to delete them. all experts have called that a blatant attempt to manipulate the algorithm which artificially boosts his content . so what have you come across these kinds of posts? should they ignore them? should you comment against them? it then says go me that few comments get angry like harris and said, oh look at this horrible violent and misogynistic thing of them is you also giving it exposure, right? so what i think should be done is you should report and stop following your countless with we can't do much more, right? in other words, the only thing that is going to make such a publication go down. it is a massive complainant, m r c. i personally think it's important to report this kind of posts we should talk about the harm caused by online sojourn is even if it makes you angry or sad. this is an issue, fought important to stay silent on the pictures generated by artificial

intelligence, all the rates right now, like the portraits crated balinsa. many uses a happy to pay for an a. i generated portrait in a super hero, a rock star style, and they're great to post on social media, but a lot of women among them. yes. actress meghan fox complain about heavily sexualized results? why is that? so? but 1st, how to apps like lens i work with linda uses can create their own magic avatar by uploading 10 to 20 celsius to the f, like my conical j here, the more diverse the more interesting the results. once your thoughts are on the app server and a, our software analyzes them, text them with keywords, and generates new images in different categories, like stylish, sy, fi or enemy. this takes about 20 minutes to do that. lens draws information from an open source dataset named lion 5 b. that database is put together by scraping and analyzing pictures from the internet. lion 5, b is basically creating

a huge library of images of all kinds by putting labels on them. for example, man woman, caucasian, on latina, and that's one of the problems start is lenses, sexist? that seems to be a huge gap and what kind of images lindsa generates for men and women. men often get flattering portraits of themselves as astronauts. all super heroes. a lot of fema use us reported picks of themselves and knew it all highly sexualized cartoonish portraits. we put that to the tests and compared pictures of my colleagues luxury and ugly ana, or she is a white european male. why the self you see uploaded? word, actual beauty shots, the results he got were mostly very mandy versions of astronauts and superheroes. in most pictures, we could recognize logy, and there was no naked skin anywhere. my conduct idly yanna comes from nets in america. she was confused that the ap presented to in a very european duke in most pictures with white in burnett's hair and even blue eyes. in some photos, she was dressed in tight, sexy jeans,

and many results showed a lot of skin even than none of the self is she had a blow to did that on and all we couldn't really recognize her while at leanna didn't get an in newton. her results our did a comparison, does confirm some of the criticism that has recently surface online lens are drawn on some pretty sexist and racist stereotypes. who's to blame. artificial intelligence is always only as good as the data set it is relying on lenses seems to have work with unfiltered images. lion 5 me connects from all parts of the internet and because the internet is overflowing with images of naked obelia dressed women and pictures reflecting sexist also, racist stereotypes. the data set contains a disproportional amount of these kinds of images. lenses thus reproduces and enhances buys that is already existing in our society program as of data sets could contract this by playing certain filters. one possibility is removing images that

are repeated often that way, certain stereotypes could be eliminated, but app developers are responsible as well. lenses, developers have made a choice that mel avatar sketch a p. us astronauts and superheroes, while fema advertised a fairy queen's and cute japanese girls. you might say, hey, this is just an image ap relax. but for me, linda is a very good example for the ethical implications that come with a i applications. i think we as a society have to discuss thoroughly before we let a i make even more decisions for us. and we need more transparency and clear rules on how data sets up being put together. have you used lens? i yes. what did your results look like? let us know. i hope you enjoy this episode of shift. that's it for me by and see you next time. ah ah.
