How did misinformation influence elections in 2024? And can AI help sustainability in space?
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.
