Getting deep about deepfakes


Listen Later

Today, we’re talking about the different efforts to invest in artificial intelligence. First up, guest host Lily Jamali breaks down Argentina’s endeavor to turn the country into an AI hub. Then, we’ll discuss the use of AI and deepfakes in India’s election in an attempt to reach voters. Later, we’ll smile about America’s first Black astronaut candidate finally taking a trip to space.


Here’s everything we talked about today:


  • “Argentina’s Milei Plans to Meet With Zuckerberg at End of May” from Bloomberg
  •  “Indian Voters Are Being Bombarded With Millions of Deepfakes. Political Candidates Approve” from Wired
  •  Marketplace’s Decoding Democracy election series
