Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Will Climate Change Wipe Out the Indo-Pacific?
Q: Is the Indo-Pacific region uniquely vulnerable to climate change?
Yes, it is uniquely vulnerable due to socioeconomic factors, environmental exposure, and the existing conditions of housing and infrastructure.
Will Climate Change Wipe Out the Indo-Pacific?
Q: What do you think is the sense from working with our neighbours in a medical sense?
They feel that Australia is not doing enough to support them and that there's a need for more accountability in climate actions.
Will AI Cut Us Off from Reality?
Q: How do we know we're actually seeing something real or not?
Among the challenges is that historically, images may have always been tampered with, but now the ability for the average person to produce convincing fakes has increased.
Will AI Cut Us Off from Reality?
Q: Do you think that AI is changing the way we perceive reality or how we understand reality?
AI is indeed changing our perception of reality, prompting us to question if we can trust the content created by AI and reflecting on our comfort levels with AI-generated material.
Will AI Cut Us Off from Reality?
Q: I want to start by asking you if you think we will get even worse or we will struggle even more to distinguish reality from fake as AI gets better and better into the next decade?
We are finding ourselves in a post-truth era where what feels true matters more than actual facts, and this situation will only complicate our ability to distinguish reality from fiction as AI improves.
