Forget about the AI. There is so much wrong with this.
- If it gets it wrong, either false positive or false negative, then there are serious consequences. This means there is no way it can “play it safe” with an answer.
- I don’t trust that it’s not capturing and storing data. The risk of a “highly personal” data being leaked is completely unwarranted.
- It works from a photo, therefore it’s unlikely to pick up much more than you can see by eye. You’d be better off just learning what to look for.
- It won’t detect STIs with no visual symptoms, so provides an entirely false sense of confidence, potentially increasing the risks of those STIs to the general population.
- Let’s say it works perfectly, and the AI algorithm runs completely locally with no data being transferred to the cloud or being captured/stored. Do you want to have someone you don’t trust about being honest about STIs taking a photo of your genitals?
That’s what I can come up with in 10 seconds. Feel free to add to the list, I’m sure it’s not complete…
I read that as “he is being prepared for the coroner”
