Description
Are AI political ads changing how people vote? Why are food influencers convincing people to try raw-meat diets and question their doctors? Host Jeff Mays looks at AI-generated campaign ads, political deepfakes and the rise of “dark nutrition.” New York Times reporter Stuart Thompson and deputy standards editor Aisha Khan discuss how campaigns use artificial intelligence to target opponents and whether those ads persuade voters or simply get attention. They examine AI advertising in New York’s race for governor, the debate over AI warning labels and how The Times covers misleading images and videos without helping them spread. Then, New York Times Magazine contributor Sophie Haigney explores food influencers, raw-meat diets and promises of better health. Why do some people trust social media nutrition advice over medical expertise? And when does questioning conventional wisdom become a health risk?
