Welcome to Insert AI-Generated Title, a podcast about artificial intelligence and how it impacts our lives, produced by the California Center for Ethics and Policy--or “CCEP” --at Cal Poly Pomona.

This season, CCEP student fellows explore the ethical and policy issues arising from the rapid development of AI. From its applications in crime prevention to generative technology, AI raises a variety of concerns around privacy, fairness, transparency, and bias, as well as questions of truth and our very perception of reality. How can we use and design AI in responsible ways? When, if ever, should we trust it?

In today’s episode, CCEP student fellow Jazmine Quinones discusses the impacts of generative AI on our perception of reality, particularly in relation to misinformation and visual media. She examines the challenges of distinguishing between real and AI-generated images, the emotional responses to these images, and the need for improved media and AI literacy.

If you care about these issues and like what you hear, please share our podcast with your friends, family, and colleagues.

Thanks for listening.
