Is AI sexist?

Sall Grover launched Giggle, a women-only networking platform, in 2020. The app allows women to form communities and search for potential business partners, housemates and friends. With categories ranging from gaming to periods to mental health, the platform offered a safe space for women to interact freely. However, Grover's sign up process sparked a Twitter storm of late. To sign up on Giggle, users have to click a selfie, which the app then analyses using facial recognition software to verify their gender.
