In this episode, David and Jacob go dark on Deep Fakes. Deepfakes, or manipulated media that convincingly impersonate real people, have rapidly emerged as a potential threat to trust. They leverage advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to create realistic-looking images, videos, or audio, making it increasingly difficult to discern between genuine and fabricated content. As deepfakes become more prevalent, the risk of misinformation, identity theft, and manipulation of public opinion grows, leaving society to grapple with the consequences.LINKSHow to prevent deepfakes in the era of generative AI

In this episode, we talk with Drew Smith, a trained Automotive Designer with an insatiable curiosity about the points at which the worlds of the automotive industry, mobility, design practice and small-c culture intersect. We wanted to know why the autonomous car dreams we were sold in the mid 2010's haven't come to fruition. What can we learn from the slower than hoped for developments in mobility when working on automation in other fields? Perhaps most of all though - when can we expect to finally get those autonomous cars we were all promised?!!LINKSLooking Out - The PodcastLooking Out - The NewsletterThe Next Billion Cars Podcast - Micromobility and "the rest of the world"
