As we transition into the era of artificial intelligence (AI), feminist activist and author Laura Bates describes this moment as one of 'great possibilities and enormous peril' in her new book, The New Age of Sexism: How the AI Revolution is Reinventing Misogyny. What we often underestimate, she argues, is how the increasingly hostile digital climate disproportionately puts women at greater risk. Her book serves as a call to action, 'before it's too late'.

BMW F 450 GS spotted testing. Launch expected this year
The growing demand for adventure motorcycles is compelling manufacturers to offer more and more models and create some if need be. BMW Motorrad had been offering the BMW G 310 GS in India till very recently. However, this entry-level GS has now been taken off the shelves to make way for the new BMW G 450 GS, a middleweight contender in this hot-selling segment. The company showcased a concept version of the bike recently and now the production version has been spied testing revealing details and also raising expectations towards a launch this year. Imaages are courtesy of: good news comes in the form of what Johann Simon, vehicle project manager of the Concept F 450 GS, said recently. Simon says "No compromises for sure. Following the very sporty off-road focus of the Concept F 450 GS, we will implement the bike as close as possible to this concept.' Now if we look closely at the spy shots, it is evident that the F 450 GS is not exactly the off road focused bike Simon is talking about. Rather this is a more road biased version of the bike. This means that we can expect multiple variants based on this platform. The bike seen here is the road-biased version that will take on the likes of the KTM 390 Adventure S, Royal Enfield Himalayan and also the recently launched Yezdi Adventure. The bike sports a 19inch front and 17inch rear wheel. Wheels are alloys and thus we can expect tubeless tyres as well. The vertical LED headlamps and tall screen give the bike an aggressive and true GS look. The bike is also expected to carry the same 6.5 inch colour TFT display as seen on the concept. The fuel tank is expected to hold as much as 14 litres of bike will use a steel Trellis frame and have a bolt-on subframe. Powering the bike will be a 450cc parallel twin engine tuned to offer 48bhp and 45Nm of torque. The engine will be mated to a 6-speed transmission. The BMW F 450 GS will be manufactured by TVS in their manufacturing facility in Hosur, Tamil TVS will not rebrand this motorcycle as a TVS. TVS in the meantime is preparing their own adventure class motorcycle in form of the TVS Apache RTX to Auto Today Magazine
