In this emergency episode of Misinformation Watch, in light of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, I discuss how social media platforms, crypto bros, and the Trump family profited financially from the barrage of misinformation swirling around the event. Of course, artificial intelligence (AI) played the key roles as you may expect.
As someone involved in AI as a deeptech entrepreneur and innovator for almost 25 years, specialising in AI recommendation systems (the AI models used by social media), and building language models to fight misinformation since 2012 at Google Campus London, I discuss how a relentless, AI-powered misinformation campaign around the assassination of Charlie Kirk caused mass anger and division.
My key discussion points are based on the evidence presented to us over the past 12 months with my previous guests, who are experts in multiple areas around the media and tech sectors, and human rights.
Featured guests include:
-
Pat de Brún: Amnesty International’s Head of Big Tech Accountability: Big tech is harming our human rights and safety – YouTube
-
Dr. Jeffrey Funk: The AI Bubble will end in financial catastrophe – YouTube
-
Emma Monk: UK’s anti-misinformation campaigner – Misinformation Watch: Migration stats are all wrong! – YouTube
-
Rachel Donald: Investigative Journalist on Energy Corruption: Why Earth is in Crisis – YouTube
More alarmingly, I discovered that some entities that promoted this misinformation campaign have reaped significant financial gains worth millions of dollars, while the rest of us fight among ourselves.
Join the conversation and learn how to battle against misinformation that is consuming our societies around the world.
Above all, I hope you will see that we should not allow these entities to divide us, since it will make them richer and make the rest of us angry and depressed.
