Deepfake Pornography, Cyberflashing and Law Reform: how AI and technology are fuelling new frontiers in violence against women and girls

Event Details

Technology is transforming the ways that sexual violence is perpetrated and experienced which, in turn, presents significant challenges for the law and legal system. The criminal law performs a vital role in naming, framing and tackling all forms of violence against women and girls, but it is struggling to keep pace with the exponential growth in online abuse. Taking the examples of deepfake sexual abuse (‘deepfake porn’), cyberflashing and the emerging harms in the metaverse, this lecture examines the current law and options for the future. It suggests the failures in current approaches exemplify law’s historic marginalisation of women’s experiences and recommends a comprehensive response which includes civil and criminal law reforms, together with a robust regulatory framework.

This talk looking at Prof McGlynn's research will last around 40 minutes, followed by a question and answer session, and then the opportunity for informal discussion at a reception afterwards.
