    Nov 3 2024

    In this episode of Do You Know What You Know?, hosts Delnaz and Lauren dive into the whirlwind of conspiracy theories and mis/disinformation surrounding recent events. From conspiracy theories about FEMA’s response during the latest hurricanes to disinformation impacting the upcoming presidential election, we explore how the spread of false information takes hold and results in fear and tension. We also discuss the revolving role of AI in both creating and combatting disinformation and what this means for our future.
