Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Sorrenti. Where do we draw the line between free speech and dangerous misinformation? Algorithms not only dictate our data feeds, but also reinforce our echo chambers, and the stakes have never been higher, both for our individual perspectives and for society at large. Today's episode is the recording from our recent live event, How to Cure Your Algorithm, the third and final installment of our Critical Conversation series in partnership with Sage Ingester.

Live at the Pleasants Theatre, host Sophia Smith-Gaylor spoke to journalist Jamie Bartlett to dive headfirst into the pressing issue of digital manipulation and how information becomes warped in an era of AI and how to take back control. Let's join our host, Sophia Smith-Gaylor, with more.
