We believe in artificial intelligence the same way we believe in ghosts

Hi, Steve Patterson here, host of The Debaters, the show where Canada's top comedic minds go head to head on topics that might not be top of mind yet. This week we famously ask a pretty rich question. Is it better to be rich or famous? Get ready for a wealth of wit from two of our country's most well-known, if not most well-paid, jokers. Listen to this week's episode of The Debaters wherever you get your podcasts.

This is a CBC podcast. Let's talk about artificial intelligence here for a moment. How can you tell what's real, what's fake? Experts say that line is being blurred every single day online and in our social media feeds. Welcome to Ideas.

The days of marveling at AI's ability to write a poem, code a webpage, or hold a conversation are over. A group of leading tech companies, including Meta, Google, and TikTok, committed to limiting misleading AI content on their platforms.
