Did AI Fuel the Charlie Kirk Rumour Mill
Aleks & Kevin explore how people turned to Ai to solve Charlie Kirk's murder, enhancing grainy CCTV pictures or asking chatbots to help them investigate, but did it help or hinder? They're joined by Lauren Fichten and Julia Ingram from US broadcaster CBS; they watched in real time as the Ai generated content began to trickle in after the shooting finally reaching a frenzy of activity. They then turn to deep fake and misinformation expert Henry Ajder to understand the motivations of those so desperate for information after such events that they turn to Ai to fill in the blanks. Presenters: Aleks Krotoski & Kevin Fong Production team: Elizabeth Ann Duffy, Rachael O'Neill and Peter McManus Sound: Laura Hay
