This Sexual Health Week, Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights is kicking off the annual SexPlus campaign by exploring泭sexual health + artificial intelligence.泭泭
Today, AI is an increasing part of our everyday liveseven when it comes to our sexual health! It's fast and easy to ask an AI chatbot a quick question about sexually transmitted infections (STIs), the difference between birth control options, or even asking advice on how to have "the talk" with your kids.泭
In 2025, nearly a billion (with a B!) people used an AI chatbot every week. That's a lot of people, and a lot of questions.泭
But how do we know we're getting accurate answers?
Check out the Chatbot and泭!
