Dr. John Lennox, a renowned Oxford Mathematician, joins Larry. They delve into artificial intelligence (AI) and its ethical implications. Dr. Lennox stresses that even in its current state, AI presents pressing ethical concerns, particularly in privacy, surveillance, and disinformation. He underscores the alarming growth of deepfake technology, which can manipulate audio and video to convincingly impersonate individuals, leading to the spread of false information. This, he argues, poses a substantial challenge in discerning authenticity in public discourse, especially within political contexts.
