Description

With AI in our newsrooms, our universities, and our courtrooms, the way we understand the truth has been forever changed. But could it be for the better? Or have we embarked on an unstoppable march towards a new understanding of democracy. 

How do we democratise AI development when a handful of tech companies run the digital world? And could we implement government reforms in Australia to make this happen?

GUESTS:

  • Cory Alpert, former Biden–Harris administration staffer and current PhD researcher at the University of Melbourne, and host of the University of Melbourne's System Error
  • Prof. Daniel Angus, Professor of Digital Communication and Director of QUT's Digital Media Research Centre.
