sold to the social media platform for advertising purposes. as has been the case with some pure tracking apps. it's a massive challenge in the, in the us, in europe and u. k. on the other side, the g d p has been very strict, of course, anytime you use the technology products and you and put your data, you should absolutely do research in terms of where that 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 way to community the, the moment that we focus on women's health. and julian, 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, from tech, actually our whole society will be effective in a positive way. trigger warning. now we will talk about rape and hate against women . brief victims must bear responsibility for that tax. women are the property of
7:22 pm
men and supposed to stay at home post like beef and was are typical for women haters on social media like entertainment. you think it's disgusting? well, it's also extremely successful. women haters are 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 us on the rise worldwide, and retain 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 at manas bunker door, open canada brothers promote matcher isn't and give advice on how to manipulate women. they have over 8000000 followers on tick tock in pakistan, science. audio hider is a famous journalist and anchor on his youtube channel. he has condemning daughters that want to talk to their fathers about their periods. and an india you too,
7:23 pm
must have threatened to rave women to intimidate them. a report by the media diversity institute states that an internet subculture known for the increasing hatred of women as involved in recent years. so it's that global movement of women, hey, just on social media group. good. if you haven't been nice, i think we're definitely not to care about isolated cases. we're about subject to counsel, voices and everything we see in digital media and on platforms, including tape talk we that is going to be a reflection of reality level and the expect that the accounts on these platforms do not have these manifestations, no thing i missed as many, just as you know miss algorithms promote provocative content. whether it's you, chip, facebook, instagram, or tick tock. the platforms, algorithms, favor videos with lots of interactions, the more provocative the content, the one likely people out to interact, share, and view. again, in theory,
7:24 pm
content heading on women isn't allowed on many platforms. take tick tock, which explicitly pledges and it's community guidelines to remove content that promotes any hateful ideology. for example, misogynists. in reality, however, agitates videos uh, 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 a few comments get angry like harris and said, oh look at this horrible violent and misogynistic thing. then you also giving it exposure, right? so what i think should be done is you should report and stop following your countess where 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. and who am i see?
7:25 pm
i personally think it's important to report this kind of posts we should talk about . the hon. cost by online sojourn is even if it makes you angry or sad, this is an issue for to important to stay silent on. pictures generated by artificial intelligence up all the rates right now. like the portraits crated balinsa. many uses a happy to pay for an a. i generated portrait in a superhero r rockstar 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 users 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,
7:26 pm
linda 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 where the problem stopped. 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 of astronauts. all super heroes and 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 logy and ugly ana, or she is a white european male. why the self you see uploaded weren't actual beauty shots. the results he got were mostly very mandy versions of astronauts and superheroes. in most pictures we could recognize clergy and there was no naked skin anywhere. my

colleague 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 to skin 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 bloated, did that on. and all we couldn't really recognize her while at leanna didn't get an in news in her results. our did a comparison does confirm some of the criticism that has recently surface online lens of draws 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 may connect from all parts of the internet, and because the internet is overflowing with images of naked or badly 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
7:28 pm
enhances buys that is already existing in our society. programs 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 at developers are responsible as well. lenses, developers have made a choice that mel advertised into a p us astronauts and superheroes, while fema advertised a fairy queens 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 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 enjoyed this episode of shift. that's it from me by and see you next time with
