BFA5 Laura Bates

In The New Age of Sexism, activist Laura Bates takes her reader deep into the heart of a strange new world. A world in which little girls dress up as women and dance for adult men; where a pornographic deepfake image of you exists on the internet - you just don’t know it yet, and where men create AI girlfriends who live in their pocket. In this compelling exploration of the rise of AI-powered technologies, Bates reveals how profit motives often overshadow the well-being of women. She exposes the darker side of this new frontier, urging society to confront the dangerous implications of these emerging tools.
