Beyond the Talk: Hany Farid on trust in the age of AI

“ How do you trust anything anymore? Who do you trust? Where do you trust?” asks technologist and digital forensic expert Hany Farid. Following his talk at TED2025, Farid sat down for a special conversation with Elise Hu, host of TED Talks Daily, to discuss the erosion of trust in American society. From TikTok algorithms to AI deepfakes, Farid argues that critical thinking education is more important than ever and why it’s therapeutic to unplug from social media and connect with nature.
