  • Summary

  • In a world where AI shapes much of our media landscape, are we becoming unwitting allies in the spread of misinformation? In The Misinformation Effect, our (slightly annoying) AI hosts dive heart first into how AI doesn’t just generate fake news—it relies on real people to amplify it. Listen in as we explore the surprising ways humans become "super spreaders" of AI-driven disinformation and what can be done to break the cycle.
