In this episode of Beyond the Filter, Brandy and Jeremy examine how gender-based harm is being amplified by digital platforms and AI tools, using the recent Grok scandal on X as a case study. The chatbot’s ability to generate sexualized, non-consensual images of real women and girls exposed serious failures in platform governance and safeguards beyond-the-filter-ep-11.
Joining the discussion is Sofia Bonilla, Director of Strategy & Partnerships at the Integrity Institute, who explains what TFGBV is, who is most vulnerable to it, and why online abuse often escalates into lasting psychological, social, and economic harm. The conversation explores how AI image generation has lowered the barriers to abuse, blurred legal and ethical boundaries, and intensified the silencing of women, girls, and gender-diverse people online.
