Dr. Alex Miltsov Featured on The Ben Mulroney Show Podcast episode: “Is the IOC going to ban trans? Also — THE historian, tech talk and AI journalism”

During the segment, Dr. Miltsov highlights a case study involving the Journal of Sherbrooke, a local newspaper dedicated to informing and serving the community. The newspaper used AI-generated content and mimicked actual authentic journalist from other newspapers. AI was able to create articles, a picture of the journalist, and bylines, that appeared nearly identical to legitimate local reporters.

One notable example involved a fake journalist, “Tommy Brodeur,” whose content closely resembled that of a real reporter, “Tommy Brochu,” with only minor changes in the name. The Journal of Sherbrooke eventually removed the AI-generated content and acknowledged its use, stressing the importance of transparency and ethical AI integration in media.

Listen to Dr. Miltsov’s segment starting at 30:25 for an interesting discussion on AI journalism: Is the IOC going to ban trans? Also – THE historian, tech talk and AI journalism – The Ben Mulroney Show | Podcast on Spotify
