Bravo to @fionamaybuckley.bsky.social and Dr Lisa Keenan for organising this excellent roundtable discussion on gendered aspects of political violence (GAPV) and violence against women in politics (VAWP) in Ireland. It was a pleasure to attend @bergenglobal.bsky.social @ucc.ie @tcddublin.bsky.social
This reads like dystopian fiction but it is happening right now. Abuse of smart glasses threatens women's ability to move freely in public spaces and compromises their privacy. Serious questions need to be asked about who will benefit from their growing popularity and who is already losing (2/2).
Calling all gender and AI researchers - this is definitely one for the diary 👩💻

Big thank you to Dr Jenny Carla Moran and @soham-centre.bsky.social for a jampacked and hugely stimulating Gender and AI symposium yesterday. Amazing panels, papers, pastries and robots - what more could a digital cultures researcher want? 🤖🥐👩💻

'It was only when the abuse occurred at scale on the ‘main street’ of the internet that the urgent need to address it became clear.'
Me in the Irish Examiner on the need for proactive regulation of AI and online abuse.

'Women leaving the beach, going into a shop, or simply standing outside are now being approached by men usually wearing Meta's Ray-Bans.. often in order to film the women's responses to casual questions or pick-up lines without their knowledge or consent.' (1/2)

Talking to students about the current state of the internet can be pretty dispiriting until you remind them (and yourself) that so much of what is awful online is by design.
We can push back against #enshittifcation. What is made can be remade. Don't accept sh*tty.

Dr Mary McGill, Centre for Global Women's Studies, @uniofgalway.bsky.social writes how delayed regulation of AI sexual abuse technology has already left many victims harmed and warns that stronger proactive measures are needed.

Good to see the EU moving to ban undressing apps.
By their very existence, these apps undermine gender equality. The abuse of their functionality was entirely predictable and should never have been tolerated.
