In this episode, we dive into the unsettling rise of AI-generated content and its impact on how we perceive reality. From hyper-realistic videos created by tools like Sora to viral hoaxes like the fake Pentagon explosion, we explore how deepfakes are fueling misinformation and eroding public trust. We break down the psychology behind why people fall for fake content, examine the risks to personal safety and national security, and share practical tools you can use to spot AI-generated fakes. As the line between real and artificial blurs, we also discuss the urgent need for media literacy, smart policy, and critical thinking to navigate this new digital landscape.

In this episode, we explore the eerie and fascinating rise of “digital ghosts” — AI-generated versions of people who’ve passed away, built from their personal data.

But beneath the surface lies a deeper conversation: What are the ethical risks of reanimating the dead? Who controls your likeness after you’re gone? And are we truly remembering our loved ones — or refusing to let go?

Join us as we examine the thin line between memory and simulation, and reflect on what it really means to be human in a world where your data may outlive your body.

In this episode, we challenge the popular belief that artists are becoming obsolete in an AI-driven world. Instead, we reveal how artists are not only surviving—but leading—the AI revolution. While artificial intelligence can replicate patterns, it still lacks the emotional depth, cultural context, imagination, and symbolism that define human creativity.

We explore how artists are already shaping the future of AI as prompt engineers, visual storytellers, and user experience designers—ensuring that technology remains intuitive, ethical, and human-centered. This episode makes the case that creativity is one of the most future-proof skills we have—and perhaps our greatest asset in navigating an increasingly automated world.
