AI, big tech and disinformation: How to fix the world with Maria Ressa

Description

"It's a perversion... to have hate, anger, fear spread faster. That is the worst of who we are as a people," says Maria Ressa, one of the most famous journalists of our time. "This is a moment of truth for our generation."On the second episode of our two-part conversation, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate warns that the death of democracy is looming – unless we act collectively, now. With the prevalence of artificial intelligence, the impunity of big tech, and the loss of trust, she explains why she believes "we are standing on the rubble of the world that was," and shares why she continues to be optimistic that we can "build better."Subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or via your favorite podcast app: https://onassignmentwithme.transistor.fmFollow @natashya_g on YouTube for video episodes, and on Instagram, Tiktok, X and Facebook for updates.Support independent journalism and this podcast: buymeacoffee.com/natashya_gTo know more about my work, go to natashyagutierrez.com
