They were joined by Professor Olga Jurasz. Their briefing highlighted the significant economic and democratic damages inflicted by TFGBV, emphasising the dual role of technology and artificial intelligence, which can both perpetrate online harms and offer potential solutions to tackle this urgent societal challenge.
