Being a woman online is increasingly dangerous. It means living with the constant possibility that a simple AI prompt can turn your personal image into something disturbing, offensive and humiliating.
In this episode, I’m joined by Kat Tenbarge, an award-winning journalist who has been covering online harassment of women since the early days of deepfakes. In the last several years, thanks to AI, Kat has witnessed a disturbing trend in how deepfakes are becoming more pervasive. They are impacting a wide range of women and girls (not just celebrities), and platforms and police are ill-equipped to fight it.
But as much as AI is changing the scale and speed of sexual harassment online, this isn’t a story about being powerless. It’s a story about possibility. And as Kat shares, when women organize, when we demand accountability, we can change the culture, shape policies, and build a safer and more tolerant internet.
