Overview
Generative artificial intelligence has transformed the landscape of gendered violence in ways that extend far beyond the emergence of new technologies. While public discussions frequently focus on deepfake pornography, synthetic imagery, and AI-generated harassment as isolated phenomena, these developments are more accurately understood as part of a broader transformation in the production, circulation, and experience of harm.
Generative AI has enabled gendered violence to become increasingly scalable, networked, automated, and participatory, allowing harms that were once limited by human effort and technical expertise to be replicated, disseminated, and normalized across digital environments at unprecedented speed and scale.

Technology companies and corporate responsibility
News media and public discourse
The intersection of predictive and generative systems - Part IV: Law, Regulation, and Accountability

Future directions for regulation and policy – Survivor-centered AI design and algorithmic defense
Eligibility
The volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers in law, criminology, sociology, gender studies, media studies, technology studies, public policy, and human rights. It will also be valuable for policymakers, regulators, legal practitioners, technology developers, civil society organisations, and international bodies seeking to understand and respond to the growing challenges posed by AI-enabled gendered violence.
