Everyone’s talking about the rise of AI, but what about AI and sexism?

Author and journalist Laura Bates has spent years investigating how technologies like chatbots, deep fakes, sex robots, and the Metaverse are perpetuating a culture of misogyny and violence against women.

In this ep, Dee chats to Laura about what the research shows, what toxic dynamics she found in her investigation, and how we can stop this tech being built into our futures.
