Why AI Still Can't Be Trusted ...And Neither Can We

Show Notes
Transcript

Welcome back to the FAIK Files!

In this episode, we take a look at China's groundbreaking (yet controversial) requirement to label all AI-generated content. We also explore some unsettling experiments that show just how it is to manipulate an AI system's biases and opinions. Plus -- is reliance on AI making us dumber? And our AI Dumpster Fire of the week is all about how AI-powered search engines keep confidently serving up misinformation, broken links, and outright lies.
