About this episode
Written before social AI agents became a public phenomenon.Current Time.We live a digital life and spend a significant amount of time online. Social media has introduced us to fake news, lies, and misleading information. We have learned that repeating and amplifying lies makes people believe in them, turning them into a new alternative reality they strive to live in. As we enter the AI era, the dangers become even greater. Within a couple of years or even months, we won’t be able to tell who is human and who is not. Lies and misleading information could be easily spread through farms of bots that act and look like humans. Until now, bot farms have mainly been used to increase exposure by liking or commenting on posts on social media platforms. However, AI technology involves computers that can communicate with people and learn how to interact with us. Moreover, the images and videos generated by AI look real, making it impossible to tell whether the people in a video are real or created by software. How would your parents or your children know what is real online? How can we tell the difference when videos or images look authentic but are actually generated by AI software? What actions should we take today to develop methods for distinguishing humans from AI? To read the episode Mark and Samantha discuss in this podcast, click the link: Who Is Human Online?
