How we’re sleepwalking into a new era of misogyny: an urgent and shocking new book from bestselling author and feminist activist Laura Bates &nbsp;

Bates L: The New Age of Sexism

The New Age of Sexism

How the AI Revolution is Reinventing Misogyny

Cut through the hype. Master the basics. Transform your work

How to AI

How the rise of AI agents--and other forms of autonomous intelligence--will transform every aspect of how companies create value and compete.Companies have long operated with a basic assumption: intelligence is scarce. Talent is limited, expertise is expensive, and good judgment is hard to scale. But that world is ending.AI agents are bringing a new form of labor into the enterprise--one that can work autonomously, learn continuously, and scale instantly. Their embodied counterparts, from drones to humanoid robots, are doing the same in the physical world. Together, these systems are introducing a new economic reality: cognition is becoming cheap, elastic, and abundant.In Abundant Intelligence, Deloitte's Nitin Mittal and futurist Mike Walsh show what happens when intelligence becomes cheap and widely available. Drawing on inside access to the people leading AI transformations at the world's most powerful companies, they uncover how this shift is challenging every assumption about strategy, productivity, and leadership, and what organizations must do now to stay ahead.As abundance becomes the new normal, the leader's job shifts from collecting intelligence to directing it. Those who learn to harness this expanding workforce of digital labor will unlock new levels of speed, creativity, and advantage. For everyone else, the gap will widen fast.

Value-Based Governance

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

The Pornography Business

The go-to resource for uncovering, understanding and overcoming accent and linguistic bias in the workplace. The way you speak can determine everything from whether you get hired or promoted, to whether people listen to you in meetings. It can affect the strength of your business relationships and reputation, but also whether people think they can trust you. We hear accents loud and clear, yet often they are quietly derailing our efforts to create inclusive work environments where every voice is heard. Linguistic discrimination is still unrecognized in the great majority of Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion (DEI) circles, yet it underpins every type of discrimination in the workplace from race and age to gender, neurodiversity and even sexuality. It is the hidden bias that is derailing even the best DEI efforts. Accent Matters is the go-to resource for uncovering, understanding and overcoming linguistic bias in the workplace. Through fascinating stories and examples of accent bias from all over the world, you'll find out how you've been conditioned to prefer certain accents over others, and how those preferences interfere with the way you listen to and interact with those around you. For those who have accents, but especially for those who think they don't, this book will be an eye-opening journey into a fundamental bias that affects every aspect of our lives, both professionally and personally.

Precarious Futures
 &nbsp;explores the evolving and emerging relationship between crime and technology in an increasingly complex and interconnected world, along with its implications for new perceptions of crime and deviance. It evaluates the rise of the World Wide Web and the model of cybercrime, questions whether existing criminological thought offers relevance and efficacy in current circumstances, conditions and future predictions, and revisits the concept of Relative Deprivation and&nbsp;the underpinning social psychological and socio-political foundations of it. It argues that&nbsp;Relative Deprivation&nbsp;allied to post-industrial precarity provides a central platform for understanding crime and deviance in a hyper-connected and hyper-commercial neoliberal world.&nbsp;The book develops to explore current criminological and security conceptions of artificial intelligence, big data, crime and social control, as well as hacktivism, and how opportunities for crime have become ‘democratised’ and expanded through the Web. Drawing&nbsp;on empirical data, theoretical narratives and a review of the state of crime now and in a speculative near future, Hamerton and Webber discuss some potential directions for a new transdisciplinary critical criminology.&nbsp;
 Precarious Futures
 &nbsp;speaks to&nbsp;criminologists, sociologists and social theory scholars and students, as well as academics and professionals in associated technological fields such as cyber-security, computer science and web science.

Public governance is inherently normative, so it is important to study the values of public governance - particularly in the present-day context, where, given increasingly differentiated Western public governance, many different values come into play and new value conflicts arise. In this Element, a value-based governance (VBG) perspective is presented. In this perspective, values take center stage as the guiding concept in the theory and practice of public administration and are used as a heuristic to understand and analyze public governance. One section focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of coping strategies used by actors and institutions when dealing with value conflicts. In the final section, the author return to the practice of public governance: the VBG paradigm entails public governance with normative reasoning. Value-based governance is about bringing the value rationality back in and recognizing intrinsic values. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

This open access book assesses whether European data regulation can be amended in light of contemporary technological developments. In an era when data powers our daily lives, economies and societies, data regulation is essential. However, European data regulation is still premised on concepts and foundations that were developed more than 50 years ago. The book offers an in-depth exploration of the European data regulatory landscape, from its historical roots to the challenges posed by new technological advancements. Through a detailed legal and technical analysis, it explores key data categories - such as anonymised, pseudonymised, aggregated, sensitive data, and metadata - highlighting their fluid and changing nature and the growing possibilities for transitioning between them. By identifying regulatory tensions and challenges arising from various technologies, such as AI, Big Data, and quantum computing, the book offers policymakers, legal scholars, computer scientists and data protection experts different perspectives on how to reshape future privacy and data protection legislation in a rapidly advancing technological world. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
