Laura Bates: The New Age of Sexism

New AI-driven technologies, with misogyny baked into their design, are putting women in danger. In The New Age of Sexism, author and campaigner Laura Bates takes us deep into the heart of this rapidly evolving world. She confronts deepfake pornography, travels to cyber brothers, and hears from schools in the grip of online sexual abuse, showing how our lives are being infiltrated by easily accessible technologies that are changing the way we live and love. Chaired by Helen Mort.
