What do indie rock and fertility tech have in common? More than you might think.
If you haven’t heard the news already, indie band Deerhoof recently made waves for pulling their music off Spotify. Why? Because Spotify’s founder invested heavily in a German defense contractor developing AI battle tech and drones. Deerhoof wasn’t having it — they didn’t want their art indirectly funding warfare technology. Read the full story here.
This bold move by Deerhoof got us thinking: if an indie band is scrutinizing where their work’s value ends up, shouldn’t we do the same with the fertility technology and products we choose? After all, when you’re navigating a sensitive and deeply personal journey like conception—especially with sensitivities or conditions such as vaginismus or low sperm motility—trust and transparency matter a lot.
Why does the ethics of technology investment matter for fertility tech?
The fertility world is evolving fast, with AI, biotech, and medical tech companies growing in leaps and bounds. But with rapid tech advancement comes uncertainty. Could some of the companies behind your at-home insemination kits or fertility apps be tied to investments or technologies you might ethically question?
Perhaps it sounds like a leap, but it’s worth considering. If a band like Deerhoof can take a stand against indirect support of AI warfare, what about the companies we entrust with our most intimate and vulnerable moments?
