The race to build the most advanced artificial intelligence continues to dominate the headlines. On this week’s On the Media, who does this new technology actually serve? Plus, how even critical media coverage can feed into the AI hype.

[01:00]  Host Brooke Gladstone sits down with Cory Doctorow, journalist, activist, and author of Enshittification, on his new guide to seeing through the relentless, $16 trillion AI hype machine and understanding the technology for exactly what it is, rather than the outlandish stories told about it.

[16:47] Brooke continues her conversation with Cory, and they discuss how the hype itself is keeping the AI industry afloat. 

[28:47] Brooke asks Cory about his rejection of the notion that AI domination – of our jobs, our lives, our art, and more – is inevitable. Plus, they interrogate the role of the tech in a creative’s life, and why AI art leaves us cold.

Covid and the banality of evil. Most people assumed Tony Fauci was either a brilliant scientist or an evil mastermind, or maybe both. His diary reveals he’s just a vain teenage girl pining for cable news hits.

Mary Talley Bowden, MD, is a Houston-based, Stanford-trained otolaryngologist. During the COVID-19 pandemic she became a prominent advocate for early outpatient treatments and greater healthcare transparency, positions that placed her in open conflict with major medical institutions. She is the author of Dangerous Misinformation: The Virus, the Treatments, and the Lies.

At the start of 2026, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, was top of mind for many Americans. There were nationwide protests, congressional hearings, and plenty of headlines. But as the weeks went on, ICE faded some from the spotlight. This month, two fatal shootings involving ICE officers have reignited protests and renewed questions about tactics, training, and recruitment for the agency at the heart of Trump's anti-immigration efforts. Host Micah Loewinger sits down with Joseph Cox, investigative reporter and co-founder of 404 Media, to talk about the array of tactics and surveillance tech ICE had been using.
