Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Offline until 16? Julian Sefton-Green on UK and Australian social media age restrictions
Q: You've worked in both the UK and Australia, could you provide briefly some observations on similarities and differences between the two countries and contexts?
The guest notes Australia appears more optimistic about societal change and easier engagement with government, while the UK is more skeptical and has a more frosty relationship between academics and policy implementation; this shapes how policies like age restrictions are discussed and potentially adopted in each country.
Prof Andrea Carson on fake news, fact-checking and front pages
Q: How do you view the role of AI in trust and journalism?
AI could disrupt journalism but may also enhance trust if used to improve accuracy and counter misinformation; however, there are concerns about biases, copyright, and the neutrality of AI systems, requiring careful governance and collaboration across industry and academia.
