Episode notes
Jamaica Faces Widespread Devastation
- Hurricane Melissa caused catastrophic damage across Jamaica, leaving much of the island without power and infrastructure destroyed.
- Officials say rescue and assessment are hampered by outages and many areas remain unreachable, prolonging the crisis.
AI Fakes Complicate Disaster Response
- AI-generated storm videos are proliferating and complicating relief by creating false impressions of the situation.
- Experts warn watermarked AI content still misleads users and platforms need stronger accountability beyond media literacy.
Rely On Official Channels In Emergencies
- During disasters, check official channels for verified updates rather than trusting social posts or AI-generated videos.
- Avoid sharing unverified content and rely on authorities to prevent confusion and protect rescue efforts.
