Deepfakes, Dementia, and Diabetes: Navigating AI's Double-edged Sword
HTML Podcast Description:AI Daily Podcast: A Spectrum of AI Impacts - From Deepfakes to Dementia Support and Diabetes Care

Welcome to today's episode of AI Daily Podcast, where we explore the multifaceted world of artificial intelligence and its wide-ranging consequences on our society.
We begin with a concerning issue as discussed in the plight of Dorota Mani from Jersey City, N.J., whose daughter was the victim of a deepfake. This troubling trend is echoed in reports from a Seattle suburb, capturing Genevieve Oh's unsettling discovery of an increase in deepfake content. The surge in these videos stresses an urgent need for robust laws to protect individuals from AI-enabled exploitation.
On a brighter note, we shift to a heartwarming innovation from the University of NSW Sydney where an AI character named Viv is transforming the lives of those affected by dementia. Dr. Gail Kenning and her team have pioneered AI companions to foster interactive and supportive relationships between patients, their families, and care teams, demonstrating AI's ability to extend care in resource-limited situations.
The episode doesn't stop there; we delve into an exciting breakthrough at Stanford University where a voice-based AI integrated with Amazon's Alexa has proven to drastically enhance care for patients with type 2 diabetes. The utilization of this AI tool has not only trimmed the time required for optimal insulin dosing but also uplifted patient adherence rates, with substantial positive shifts in health outcomes.
However, amidst these commendable healthcare advancements, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo brings to light a stark contrast, highlighting the dual role of AI in healthcare and national security. She emphasizes the critical need to safeguard sensitive technologies from international threats, stressing the importance of vigilant funding and policy-making.
Join us in this segment of the AI Daily Podcast, where we reflect on the contrasting realities AI technology presents, from societal challenges to medical breakthroughs and implications for national security. As we uncover these stories, it's evident that while AI harbors the potential for significant good, it's our collective responsibility to counterbalance its capabilities with prudent governance.
