"Controversy Surrounds AI-Powered STI Detection App's Privacy and Consent Issues"
A new AI app called Calmara is causing outrage as it encourages women to upload photos of their partners' genitals for an AI-driven 'peen check' to scan for potential STIs before having sex, raising concerns about consent, privacy, and data security. The app, released in the U.S. by tech company HeHealth, boasts about its accuracy but struggles with reliability, with experts warning about privacy issues and the inability to verify consent or secure data storage. While the app promises to delete photos and hold data securely, experts emphasize that it's not a substitute for regular STI testing and caution about the potential risks associated with such technology.
