You’ve gone home with a Tinder date, and things are escalating. You don’t really know or trust this guy, and you don’t want to contract an STI, so… what now?
A company called Calmara wants you to snap a photo of the guy’s penis, then use its AI to tell you if your partner is “clear” or not.
Let’s get something out of the way right off the bat: You should not take a picture of anyone’s genitals and scan it with an AI tool to decide whether or not you should have sex.
Some STIs, in some situations, have a visible presentation that could be detected.
A false positive is a good thing here, a false negative is a bad thing here. There’s no way this app will not have huge false negatives.
