Description

Welcome to Insert AI-Generated Title, a podcast about artificial intelligence and how it impacts our lives, produced by the California Center for Ethics and Policy--or “CCEP” --at Cal Poly Pomona.

This season, CCEP student fellows explore the ethical and policy issues arising from the rapid development of AI. From its applications in crime prevention to generative technology, AI raises a variety of concerns around privacy, fairness, transparency, and bias, as well as questions of truth and our very perception of reality. How can we use and design AI in responsible ways? When, if ever, should we trust it?

In today’s episode, CCEP fellow Monserrat Perez Cabrales explores the ability of generative AI to trick the public into believing something is real when it is not. To do so, she shares some high-profile images created by generative AI with students on campus to test whether they can tell what’s real. She then discusses how best to prevent the harm done by fake images and how to prevent crimes committed through “deepfakes."

If you care about these issues and like what you hear, please share our podcast with your friends, family, and colleagues.

Thanks for listening.
