The podcast episodes explore the potential for generative AI and other advanced technologies to lead to manipulation of information, erosion of trust, and challenges to democratic systems.

This 'dystopian future' scenario is discussed in Episode #185 of Philosophize This!, which examines both the promising applications of generative AI as well as its concerning implications.

Similarly, Feed Drop: AI Doomsday with Kara Swisher on the Your Undivided Attention podcast discusses the need for global coordination and regulation to prevent a reckless race to deploy AI that could have catastrophic consequences for society.
