AI and deepfake technologies are rapidly evolving tools with significant potential for positive impact. However, they are increasingly being misused to create harmful and exploitative content.

Join us for a 1-hour introductory virtual workshop exploring how sexual violence intersects with technology. We’ll examine how the internet, social media, and direct messaging platforms amplify the speed, scale, and prevalence of abuse in ways we have never experienced before - and what we can do to take collective action against it.

In this one hour workshop we will be exploring the way gender inequity can lead to workplace harms and ways to disrupt, prevent, and respond to these harms.

We will discuss unconscious bias and the role it can play in everyday interactions as well as what happens when gender-based harms occur.

This workshop is hosted by the Sexual Violence Prevention & Response Office.
