About this listen

Algorithms decide what we see, what we miss, and influence what we believe. In this episode, we examine how digital technologies reflect and amplify social bias, distort public debate, and reshape our understanding of truth. What happens when platforms reward outrage over accuracy, and when AI becomes a tool for manufacturing alternative realities? The challenge isn’t just technical—it’s political, and it’s personal.
