Is artificial intelligence the new boundaries of the suppression of women?

After spending In the early twenties of the last century, Laura Bings, the nanny in the United Kingdom, noticed that the little girls she was interested in were busy with their bodies, driven by the marketing they were receiving. In 2012, Bates, a London -based female author and activist, began a daily sexual discrimination project, a web site dedicated to documentation and combat Sexual discriminationHuting women, and gender violence around the world by highlighting the abandonment of coding of it, such as Invisible workReferring to women as girls and commenting on their clothes in professional environments. The site was converted into a book in 2014.

Since then, the sexual harassment of women in the online spaces, including the Bents expertise With being a victim Porn materialsThis prompted her to write her new book, The New Age of Sexual Discrimination: How to repeat artificial intelligence and emerging techniques inventing women’s hatredIt was published on September 9 by source books.

While gender -based violence is still usually committed by people close to the victim, rapid, easy and cheap access to artificial intelligence “reduces the tape to reach this special form of abuse very quickly,” says Pitts wireless. “Anyone of any age can access the Internet now … Make very realistic pornographic images for any woman or girl who delivered her a fully dressed image from the Internet.”

Through direct research that included speaking to creators and women who have been victims of artificial intelligence and Deepfake technology, as well as the use of chat and Sexbots that it transmits, in The new era of sexual discrimination Bates draws the ways that, if not properly organized and wheel, Amnesty International is the new boundaries in the subjugation of women.

“I know that people will think,” Bents says. “It looks like a feminist dominating the pearls, and disturbs them, but if you look at the highest major technology companies, men at those levels say exactly the same thing that I am,” noting that Jean Lake, who is Leave Openai last year amid concerns about the company that gives priority to “shiny products” for safety, for example. “This warning invitation appears by people guaranteed in these companies at high levels. The question is whether we are ready to listen.”

Bates also talks to WIRED about how AI’s friends and apparent aides have reached the coloring of women’s hatred in children, the arrival of the environmental footprint from artificial intelligence to women first, and how it does not take a long time for new technologies to move to the fanatic biases of their creators and users.

This interview has been intensified and edited for length and clarity.

Wire: One thing surprised me about your book is that it does not take a long time to transfer the new developments to women’s hatred. Do you think this is fair to say?

Laura Bings: It is a long and well -style style. We have seen it with the Internet, we have seen it with social media, we have seen it with online pornography. Almost always, when we release enough to reach new forms of technology, there will be an important sub -group of those that will end very quickly to be designed to harass women, abuse women, subject women, and maintain patriarchal control over women. The reason for this is that the technology itself is not good in nature, bad, or anything, one; It is encrypted with the bias of creators. It reflects the historical societal forms of women’s dung, but it gives them a new life. It gives them new means to reach the goals and new forms of abuse. What is especially concerned about these new boundaries of technology with AI and obstetric shapes of artificial intelligence in particular is that they are not wandering only in these current forms of abuse in us – they intensify them through other forms of threats, harassment and control practiced by the aggressors.
