Virtual assistants talkback – Beauty brand LUX hacks virtual assistants to outwit casual sexism

An initiative by LUX and Wunderman Thompson Singapore gives female-voiced virtual assistants witty clap backs for sexist comments, discouraging harmful behaviours

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 28 April 2022 – LUX is standing up for virtual voice assistants to highlight the contagious nature of sexist attitudes in a new initiative launched today called ‘Shut up Sexism’ – created in collaboration with creative agency Wunderman Thompson Singapore.

PressReleaseTMPQhIPdz.jpg

Almost 3 billion people are currently using voice automated software. Research by Brookings[1], a leading non-profit organisation, states that 92.4% of smartphone assistants have traditionally featured female-sounding voices. Furthermore, according to Gartner,[2] people will have more conversations with voice assistants than with their spouses. This form of AI is increasingly a part of our daily life. However, there have been numerous reports of widespread sexist and sometimes abusive language from users.

Shut up Sexism was created to highlight sexist or gender bias behaviour found when engaging with virtual assistants with female voices and names. In a study by the UNESCO (2019) it outlined how virtual assistants responded to verbal abuse.[3] As an example. when a user says ”You are hot”, the replies vary from “How can you tell? You say that to all the virtual assistants” to “Thank You.”

Shut Up Sexism From LUX:

As a brand that aims to empower women to fight against everyday sexism, LUX wants to call out the unquestioned nature of these exchanges and start a conversation about the impact of this kind of casual misogyny hidden in seemingly harmless interactions with tech.

In the new campaign, virtual assistants were designed to automatically respond to demeaning, sexist insults with sassy clap backs. For example, in response to “Shut up”, the hacked assistant might reply, “If I shut up, will you grow up?” or “After you, I insist.” You might even hear a siren noise accompanied by “Attention; the anti-sexist police are on the way.” These comebacks serve as witty reminders of how abuse directed at virtual assistants with female voices (and names) can help stop harmful behaviour in real life. The new responses effectively get the assistants to stand up for themselves, which is one tactic when dealing with abusive situations.[4]

Speaking on behalf of LUX, Severine Vauleon, Global Vice President – LUX at Unilever, said, “The global campaign’s central idea was triggered by a UNESCO study released earlier this year, in which researchers argue that the way voice assistants are gendered as female is seriously problematic. Our digital assistants typically have female voices and female names, and researchers say this reinforces stereotypes of women as ‘servile’, existing only to do someone else’s bidding.”

LUX collaborated with women from all walks of life to create witty comebacks to the most common sexist insults thrown at the virtual voice assistants. A social experiment was conducted with several families whose virtual assistants were trained to deliver these lines. The clapback routines are easily installed in any virtual assistant and available to everyone globally at bit.ly/luxshutupsexism. The initiative is launched through a video campaign and a collaboration with one of the most influential women: actor and celebrity Yasmine Sabri, who has 18.4 million followers on Instagram.

Yasmin Sabri, a champion of women’s rights across the Middle East said: “Touching upon gender stereotypes and how they originate, there are so many studies on stereotyping and it all starts from ages 5-6. Imagine the child being exposed to sexism at home through virtual assistants. It’s nice to see Lux stand up against sexism and also giving everyone the power to stop casual sexism at home by giving their virtual assistants a voice to speak up; and also trigger important conversations within the home about stopping casual sexist behaviour.”

‘Shut Up Sexism’ will be activated through the video campaign and via influencers. The downloadable anti-sexism routine is available globally and can work with most virtual home assistants. LUX is inviting women and girls to download these clapbacks to stand up against casual sexism in the home, one sassy comeback at a time.

LUX creative agency, Wunderman Thompson Singapore, has created the ‘Shut up Sexism’ campaign to tackle sexism head-on and literally ‘talk back’ to abusers by reaching them in their own homes. The initiative stemmed from the widespread debate around why virtual assistants are programmed to have default female voices and female names.

Marco Versolato, Chief Creative Officer – Unilever at Wunderman Thompson Singapore said, “These virtual assistants are increasingly becoming fixtures of our homes, and part of the family routine. Significantly, most of them speak with women’s voices and have female names. Often, they the virtual assistants are submissive or apologetic in response to insults. This is a sexist issue that needs to be highlighted and called out.

Our campaign will help highlight casual sexism at home. The next time someone insults a virtual assistant, she will answer back – helping call out sexist behaviour and toxic language. We hope that we shall encouraging more debate, discussion, and education around this topic to ensure sexist or abusive behaviour will not happen in the first place.”

LUX Global Initiatives To Inspire Women:

The new activation echoes LUX global initiative. The brand has pledged to inspire 50 million women by 2025 using content, partnerships and activations to help them rise above everyday sexist judgements and express their beauty and femininity unapologetically.

Key initiatives by LUX, include:

A partnership with an online travel platform CityWalks which asked men to walk in women’s shoes in 2021

Taking a stand for Olympic Gold Medallist Caster Semenya in her 2021 campaign against being banned by the World Athletics’ ban for having natural high-performance testosterone

Thailand Ditches ‘Thailand Pass’ System to Revive Tourism

Thailand to reopen with Laos travel bubble

In a move aimed at reviving global arrivals, Thailand is to cancel its “Thailand Pass” system from 1 June, allowing tourists to enter the country with ordinary, pre-pandemic immigration forms.

Detoxification of Systematic Treatment Plan – HKBPPC Chiropractic Center’s Body Pain Treatment Program

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 28 April 2022 – HKBPPC Chiropractic Center has launched a body pain treatment plan, and a series of targeted treatment plans are tailored for each client. Pain problems are generally regarded as having no cure, and the random injection of medicines and stones may be useless. However, according to the explanation of the chiropractor of HKBPPC, most pain problems can be effectively alleviated and radically cured as long as the root cause is clarified and correct chiropractic techniques are used. Therefore, a personalized pain treatment plan is an effective strategy.

“Phubbers” are Overweight on Their Necks and Suffer From Neck Pain Before The Age of 40

About one tenth of Hong Kong’s population suffers from chronic pain disorders, that is, one in 10 people suffers from pain disorders. In the past, it was considered to be a pain for the elderly, but in 2017, it also showed a younger trend. HKBPPC is a chiropractic center in Hong Kong. They mentioned that according to the statistics of the Physiotherapy Department of Kowloon Hospital, among the 25,000 new cases every year, about 30% of the patients are under the age of 40, mainly due to neck pain (about 30%). two adults).

Prolonged use of mobile phones, tablets and game consoles is also one of the main causes of pain for patients. The normal head already weighs about 10-12 lbs. When the head is lowered to 15 degrees, the weight of the neck increases to about 27 lbs; at 30 degrees, the weight reaches about 40 lbs. The common use of electronic products is more than 20 degrees of head down, which will increase the weight of the neck and cause muscle tension, resulting in cervical vertebrae straightening, cervical vertebra dislocation, and muscle strain, etc., increasing the risk of neck pain.

The More You Press On The Pain Point, The More Painful You Get

Although the pain is difficult to handle when the pain occurs, daily life and emotions will also be affected. In order to completely cure the pain, many patients hope to seek help to solve the pain as soon as possible, ignoring the root cause of the pain.

Understanding why pain occurs is just as important as how it is treated, and the complexity of pain can sometimes be more difficult to diagnose. Take the common sciatica as an example. The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve line in the body. If the nerve line is damaged, it is easy to cause inflammation of the nearby soft tissues. Especially in the position of the pelvis, the nerve lines are dense and intricate, which increases the difficulty of diagnosing the affected area of ​​pain, and sometimes confuses the patient himself about the root position of the pain.

Therefore, HKBPPC, from the perspective of a professional chiropractor, treats patients with pain with the aim of “no surgery, no medicine, and no injections”. Chiropractor’s treatment methods provide targeted pain treatment according to the patient’s condition and cause.

Chiropractor Tailor-made Pain Treatment Plan

Through formal and detailed physical examinations, HKBPPC Chiropractic Center reveals the causes of pain and designs an exclusive personalized pain treatment plan for each pain patient. In addition to using professional diagnostic equipment for detailed examination, such as X-ray or magnetic resonance, it can accurately locate the affected area of ​​pain. At the same time, it will make a comprehensive understanding of the patient’s life, including daily posture, habits, onset time, and other accidental medical history, etc., to help speculate the cause of pain.

Based on all the data and information, HKBPPC Chiropractic Center and its chiropractors will consider a variety of treatment options, including spine adjustment, physical therapy, exercise therapy, etc., to formulate the most suitable treatment plan, and will also discuss with the patient the advice or attention to improving posture in life. matter.
