For the final episode of series two, Jonah puts this year's most searched for AI questions to Smera - What is AI? Are AI detectors accurate? Has AI passed the Turing test? When will AI take over? Is AI good? Although the questions seem relatively straightforward at first glance, you might be surprised how insightful Smera's answers are...   Episode notes New Coca-Cola advert and Forbes article about it 404 article about AI generated films *All statistics correct at time of recording and refer to 'AI' or 'Artificial intelligence' as the search term rather than AI related search terms such as gen AI tools etc.  Statistics and questions from Google Trends, Moz.com, Answerthepublic.com, Statistica, Semrush and Google's Year In Search   TOPICS 00:00 Festive greetings and introductions 00:44 Reflecting on the series 02:34 AI in advertising 03:39 AI's impact on jobs 06:32 TLDR Unwrapped: A Year in AI 10:44 AI FAQs: quickfire questions 16:42 Are AI images copyrighted? 17:43 When will AI take over? 18:52 Who AI guidelines? 21:14 Is AI bad for the environment? 21:39 Why is AI dangerous? 23:06 How AI works 23:51 Why is AI art bad at hands? 25:35 Why is AI good or bad? 28:36 Final thoughts and farewell

We began this series with an introduction to misinformation. What is it? How does it spread on social media? And what impact could it have on elections in this election packed year? As we begin to conclude this series, Smera and Jonah invite Sam Stockwell from the Turing’s Centre for Emerging Technology and Security (CETaS) to answer our burning questions, and yours - did misinformation affect this years elections? Also, on this episode Smera and Jonah take a short trip into orbit, find that it is getting a bit crowded and explore how AI could be the key to keeping our galactic mess under control.    Topics 00:00 Introduction to Too Long, Didn't Read 00:46 Exploring Misinformation in Elections 02:21 Interview with Sam Stockwell on AI and Misinformation 04:54 Tools and Trends in Misinformation 09:56 Public Trust and Misinformation 25:19 The Role of Social Media Algorithms 32:57 Space Exploration Highlights 41:44 Farewell and Future Topics   Episode sources AI Misinformation  CETaS paper AI-enabled influence operations  Article on Taiwan’s LINE social media app which has the AI chatbot for source verification   FullFact and Logically Fact websites   Sam’s article on what voters can do to protect themselves against AI disinformation  A super year for elections - UNDP  Amnesty recommendations    AI Space Sustainability  Polaris Dawn  Europa probe  AI For Space  Space debris  Uni of Strathclyde partnership  Gov future space environment  NASA and AI
