Why AI Isn't Going To Steal Our Election

Is AI slop the ultimate weapon for foreign interference? Or are we spiraling into another internet-fueled moral panic?


Last week several AI-generated photos of Mark Carney and Ghislaine Maxwell looking chummy went viral. It was easy to spot the fake, but it raised an important question: should we be worried about AI in this election?


Ryan Broderick, author of the Garbage Day newsletter, and host of his own podcast Panic World, doesn’t think so.


Host: Noor Azrieh

Credits: Aviva Lessard (Senior Producer), Sam Konnert (Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Max Collins (Director of Audio) Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork)


Guests: Ryan Broderick
