Audio deepfakes have become shockingly convincing in the last few years. A deepfake robocall impersonating President Joe Biden encouraging voters to stay home for the New Hampshire primary was one recent example of how far the technology has advanced. That’s why “Marketplace Tech” is launching a limited series called “Decoding Democracy.” Marketplace’s Lily Jamali will be joined by other Marketplace reporters, experts and researchers to discuss what election mis- and disinformation is out there, how to spot it and how it impacts our democracy. In this first episode of “Decoding Democracy,” Marketplace senior correspondent Kimberly Adams joins Jamali to delve into the latest on audio deepfake technology and how to protect yourself from being fooled by one.

As I discuss with Tucker, just how far did government-private partnerships go to suppress dissenting voices like mine? This is how far.

How do we combat hate?

What happened in the Dublin Riots was driven by far right agitators but how do we fight their message?

Dion and Joe ask how should we treat those on the margins of the hate movement.

Finland has become a world leader in combating hate and misinformation using a curriculum that starts when their kids are five years old. Turns out kids don’t hate “others” unless they have been taught to hate them.

Why can’t the same happen in Ireland?

The rise of social media has revolutionized the way we connect, share information, and interact with one another. While it has undoubtedly brought numerous benefits, there is growing concern about its impact on our mental health.

Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to talk to Tobias Rose-Stockwell about how the internet has broken our brains, what we can do to fix it, and how to navigate this complex digital landscape.

Tobias Rose-Stockwell is a writer, designer, and media researcher whose work has been featured in major outlets such as The Atlantic, WIRED, NPR, the BBC, CNN, and many others. His research has been cited in the adoption of key interventions to reduce toxicity and polarization within leading tech platforms. He previously led humanitarian projects in Southeast Asia focused on civil war reconstruction efforts, work for which he was honored with an award from the 14th Dalai Lama. He lives in New York with his cat Waffles.

Today on A Beginner's Guide to AI, we explore the phenomenon of hallucinations in large language models like ChatGPT and GPT4. These advanced AIs can sometimes generate strange, nonsensical, or plainly inaccurate text when prompted in confusing ways.

We covered the four main types of hallucinations, ranging from gibberish, to false facts, to anthropomorphic statements. Real world examples reveal how convincing these AI-generated hallucinations can seem. Maintaining human oversight and validating critical information is key.

Looking ahead, hallucinations may become more frequent as language models grow more powerful. But with responsible use, we can still benefit tremendously from AI's capabilities, while minimizing potentially dangerous errors.

This podcast was generated with the help of artificial intelligence. We do fact check with human eyes, but there might still be hallucinations in the output.
