Dive into the rapidly evolving world of "AI slop," the low-effort, mass-produced synthetic media that Merriam-Webster officially named its 2025 Word of the Year.

Join us as we break down why human-in-the-loop oversight is becoming the ultimate competitive advantage and how platforms like Google and Meta are fighting back against this new form of digital pollution.
