'If AI is going to shape our digital future, then women’s safety, dignity and participation cannot be treated as optional extras. The question isn’t whether the technology can do this. It’s whether we’re willing to insist that it shouldn’t.'

Horrendous. They haven't said a word. Considering all the fanfare they made about their violence against women and girls' strategy last month, they are a disgrace too.
