Warning: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault and image-based abuse. This week we discuss the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in recent months and its political implications with respect to labour, capitalism, racism, and sexism. We also discuss how new AI technologies are being used to perpetuate violence against women in the case of deepfake pornography.
