Casting the Net: How is AI shaping our future?

Casting the Net: How is AI shaping our future?

From Chatbots that have human-like conversations, to AI that create new images, music or videos – GenAI is becoming increasingly common in our everyday lives. 

While it can help spark creativity and improve efficiency, this technology also poses challenges. 

One major concern is the spread of mis and dis information, as GenAI can generate realistic fake content that is indistinguishable from reality. 

To discuss this, and more, Webwise Youth Panelist Lauren spoke to Mark Little.

Mark is a journalist and entrepreneur who founded the social news agency Storyful and the content moderation company Kinzen. He has also previously worked for RTÉ, and is widely recognized for his contributions to journalism and media innovation.
