Summary
The RAW ring, which is claimed to be able to tell if a wearer’s partner is sexually aroused, is being marketed as a way to create more trust in relationships.
The ring is still in development by dating app RAW, and its founder, Marina Anderson, said that if someone intends to cheat, they would not wear the ring.
It would be easily visible if they did, she claimed.
The ring will use AI to analyse various metrics, including heart rate, body temperature and vocal tone, to determine the wearer’s emotional state.
Anderson said that the wearers can choose what data to share with their partner, but critics have said that the ring is a form of emotional surveillance.
