The chatbots split into cliques and boosted the most partisan voices. A handful of “influencers” also quickly dominated the conversation, according to a study published last Tuesday by researchers at the University of Amsterdam. The researchers built a minimal social network with no ads, no recommended posts, and no algorithm deciding what users see. They […]
As artificial intelligence tools become more integrated into content generation workflows, one of the most critical challenges emerging is the detection of hallucinations in summarizations. Hallucinations occur when AI-generated summaries contain information not present or supported in the original source material. These fabrications, which can be presented in a highly convincing and fluent manner, threaten […]
In a sweeping move emblematic of the Trump administration’s approach to governance, the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is using artificial intelligence to eliminate hundreds—and potentially hundreds of thousands—of federal regulations. Launched via executive order in January 2025, DOGE’s mission is simple: reduce federal regulatory burdens by 50% by January 20, 2026, using […]
Tech giants unite unveiling a massive $500B AI Infrastructure plan. During the Cold War, fear, secrecy, and the pursuit of unconventional warfare drove the U.S. government to fund a secretive and controversial intelligence program known as the Stargate Project. This initiative, active from the 1970s until its termination in 1995, was an attempt to weaponize […]
Beyond the On-Air Signal As artificial intelligence moves from speculative buzz to mission-critical infrastructure in media, the broadcasting ecosystem has embraced AI across production, newsroom workflows, audience engagement, and monetization. In 2025, AI is no longer a futuristic option — it’s a strategic investment helping broadcasters stay competitive, responsive, and efficient in a highly fragmented […]
2025 New Movers and Shakers: This year’s (2025) industry leaders in software applications As artificial intelligence continues to transform the media, entertainment, and broadcasting landscape, 2025 has solidified the rise of specialized AI tools that are reshaping development, production, and distribution workflows across the industry. From lifelike voice generation and hyper-real video synthesis to AI-driven […]
The Intelligence Layer Reshaping Media By 2025, artificial intelligence has become the connective tissue of the digital distribution and streaming ecosystem. While early AI adoption focused on experimentation and automation, today’s platforms increasingly rely on AI as an intelligence layer—guiding how content is packaged, delivered, discovered, and understood by audiences across devices and regions. As […]
This year at NAB with Lady Alicia At NAB, the mood around any new technology tends to swing between two poles: existential threat and competitive advantage. NAB 2024: “What is this going to break?” By 2024, generative AI had moved from curiosity to boardroom-level risk conversation—especially for broadcasters and producers who live and die by […]
In an era saturated with information, the integrity of the stories we consume has never been more important — or more fragile. The narratives that shape public opinion, political movements, and social change hinge on a single thread: truth. And yet, as artificial intelligence rapidly rewires the landscape of media production and consumption, that thread […]
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Warns of AI Being Used for Voice Fraud in Banking
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has issued a stark warning about the growing risk of artificial intelligence being used for fraudulent purposes in the financial sector—particularly through synthetic voice fraud targeting banks. As voice authentication becomes more common in customer service and digital banking, malicious actors are exploiting generative AI tools to replicate voices and bypass […]
