And we don't have those tools as individuals, as journalists.

And this is a solvable problem in some ways.

We have standards now where there are a few phones that allow you to, when you take a picture, it creates these credentials that verify, just like you can verify a website is a real website, let you verify that that is really taken by that camera.

And then in ensuring that that actually translates into what you see on the platforms, because only a few platforms, LinkedIn is one of them, has actually implemented this standard.

Yeah, I mean, I've talked about this as a kind of like reality apathy.

And you can't have effective institutions, you know, effective commerce if people just don't trust anything.

Like it leads to conflict that is entirely avoidable.

And so we need to be building new institutions that can navigate this world.

I mean, what does it look like to restructure the way in which we work and we govern in the age of AI?

That I think is the question of our time.

Yeah, so I think it does come down to actually using the standards that have been developed in the time that we've had.

When we knew this was happening, it requires creating dedicated tools that help support people to verify information.

It requires having our democratic institutions potentially work even a little bit differently than they do right now.

And one of the things that we're more focused on

at the AI Democracy Foundation is really thinking about that.

How do we govern effectively?

Are there new ways of doing democracy that are robust to the kinds of challenges that AI throws at us?

I mean, they're weak, but there is a lot of potential.

Like, if we're able to harness...

even just a fraction of these AI capabilities to support those institutions.
