AI is here, bringing a seismic shift in the way our society operates. Might this mean a future reimagined on equitable terms for women and marginalised groups everywhere?
In The New Age of Sexism, Sunday Times bestselling author and campaigner Laura Bates explores the metaverse, confronts deepfake pornography, travels to cyber brothels, tests chatbots, and hears from schools in the grip of online sexual abuse, showing how our lives – from education to work, sex to entertainment – are being infiltrated by easily accessible technologies that are changing the way we live and love. What she finds is discrimination, inequality and harassment that are being coded into the future that we will all have little choice about living in – unless we seize this moment to demand change.
