Using AI to Quantify Meta Trends and Uncover Biases
In this podcast episode, Matt Klein, a cultural theorist and cyber psychologist, discusses his recent report on using AI to analyze and rank meta trends. The report aimed to uncover biases and agendas in trend reporting by comparing human rankings with those generated by the AI. The findings revealed discrepancies between human-reported trends and the rankings based on objective cultural data analyzed by AI. This raises questions about the role of subjectivity in trend reporting and highlights the need for a responsible and mindful approach.
