Episode Notes
On today’s episode of Hear Me Out: tried and Turing tested.
Coming into the 2024 election cycle, generative A.I. was one of the main concerns for democracy watchdogs; its power to create deceptive text, images, and sounds at a rapid, unfettered pace seems ripe to spread misinformation. But of all the controversies and current events that have shaped the election thus far… A.I., somehow, might not be one of them.
Writer and social strategist Rachel Greenspan joins us to share what she’s hearing about the A.I. revolution that wasn’t.
