About the Work

Today, 85% of young women seek health advice online with increasing reliance on voice assistants. But when you ask Siri, one of the world’s most famous women, ‘how do I check my breasts?’ or ‘boobs’, she doesn’t know. Yet for men’s health, she can tell them how to check their testicles for cancer, and even responds to slang terms. Gender bias in tech is not only sexist, it’s dangerous, creating barriers to vital health information. The I Touch Myself Project partnered with the original voice of Siri, Karen Jacobsen – whose voice is heard on over a billion devices worldwide – to help. Rather than a name or face, we used her iconic voice to provide young women with the life-saving breast health information they couldn’t access and put pressure on tech companies to make their devices more inclusive.
