TNW 339: Tackling Disinformation With 'Prebunking' - Google Search Documents, /e/OS, OpenAI & Siri
Can you debunk misinformation before it gets out to the public? A massive leak of Google's search algorithm made its way online. What is the /e/OS mobile operating system? And OpenAI is working with Apple to train Siri, and it is making Microsoft concerned about their relationship. Will Oremus from The Washington Post joins Mikah Sargent to talk about misinformation and the practice of 'prebunking' as a way to educate voters in upcoming elections so that they are as informed as possible when casting their votes. Mikah talks about a recent leak of Google's search algorithm and the company's acknowledgement of the leak. Senior Writer Scott Gilbertson of Wired stops by the show to discuss /e/OS and its differences from the stock Google Android operating system. Finally, Mikah talks about OpenAI helping Apple fix its digital assistant, Siri, and how that working relationship is making Microsoft very concerned.
