Social media disinformation did enormous damage to our shared
idea of reality. Now, the rise of generative AI has unleashed a
flood of high-quality synthetic media into the digital ecosystem.
As a result, it's more difficult than ever to tell what’s real
and what’s not, a problem with profound implications for the
health of our society and democracy. So how do we fix this
critical issue?

As it turns out, there’s a whole ecosystem of folks to answer
that question. One is computer scientist Oren Etzioni, the CEO of
TrueMedia.org, a free, non-partisan, non-profit tool that is able
to detect AI generated content with a high degree of accuracy.
Oren joins the show this week to talk about the problem of
deepfakes and disinformation and what he sees as the best
solutions.

CLARIFICATION: Oren said that the largest social
media platforms “don’t see a responsibility to let the public
know this was manipulated by AI.” Meta has made a public
commitment to flagging AI-generated or -manipulated content.
Whereas other platforms like TikTok and Snapchat rely on users to
flag.
