Start Something - AI and Political Misinformation with Oren Etzioni and Katherine Long

​This year is the first presidential election since generative AI tools have gone mainstream, enabling a surge in the production of “deepfakes” that proliferate across social media and influence political discourse.

​Oren Etzioni a professor emeritus of computer science and engineering at UW, founded the nonprofit TrueMedia.org as a free tool that leverages AI to detect political deepfakes. He’ll join tech reporter Katherine Long of Business Insider for an expansive discussion of misinformation hazards emerging in this election cycle, the responsibilities of creators, and the power of AI in fueling innovation.
