Okay, so Elon Musk is obviously running Twitter into the ground. So where are we all showing up online next? And can you get me a blue sky invite? And writers in Hollywood are striking, in part because studio execs think AI can do their job better than they can. So what does that mean for your job? Or all of our jobs? AI podcasters? I hope not.

My name is Bridget Todd, and for the last three years, I've been answering questions like these about technology and the internet. on my podcast, there are no girls on the internet. But right now, technology is in such a weird place that even I don't know where we're headed. And it feels a lot like our tech future is actually here right now. So I want to make sure that all of us are included in that future. On the new season of There No Girls on the Internet,

we're presenting present future, a series exploring how women and other marginalized folks are mapping out a better, brighter tech future today and what you need to know to be ready for it. Like, what do you need to know about AI? and did you know that women are far more likely to face a lot of workplace disruption because of AI when compared to men? Or that one of the next potential competitors to Twitter is being designed by a woman. Now, none of this should come as a surprise.

Women, people of color, LGBTQ folks, and other traditionally marginalized people have been at the forefront of what it means to be online since the very beginning. We're the ones making technology safer, better, more creative, and just more fun. So who better to lead the way into our next phase? On the new season of There Are No Girls on the Internet, we'll hear from the activists, technologists, researchers, creatives, and organizers who are shaping tomorrow today. So listen to the new season of There Are No Girls on the Internet

on Tuesday, May 16th on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
