Rob McMullan and Trevor McKee proposed focusing on how to avoid misinformation, using examples from finance, health claims, and AI's tendency to "hallucinate" false information. The main talking points included critical thinking, identifying self-interest in information sources, the use of Snopes.com and "trusted sources" to verify information, the role of survivorship bias in financial "truth" around mutual funds, the impact of capitalism and negative externalities, and consuming a balanced media diet. Also discussed were healthcare vs "disease-care", conspiracy theories and the role of corporate practices in sometimes encouraging them; and the various ways in which ethics can play into sponsored research, corporate influence, and ethical investing. Finally, they talk about climate change, and the potential for AI to help mitigate against misinformation.
