Laura Bates, feminist, activist, and creator of the Everyday Sexism project, casts a visionary eye toward the future of AI and how new technologies can and will create new challenges for women. From deepfakes to sex robots, Bates uncovers the ways our evolving digital landscapes are enabling new forms of sexism, and what we can do to fight back.
Gender equality is something that has been a constant battle. With the advent of ever more high-tech equipment at our fingertips, there is a new wave of technologies that threaten this notion. With misogyny baked into their design, these technologies are dragging women back to the dark ages.
The New Age of Sexism will take the reader deep into the heart of this strange new world. It will dive into where and what the dangers are, exploring everything from AI to sex robots and the metaverse. This is not a book about the future. This is happening right now, and it could become part of our daily lives much sooner than we realize.
