In This Economy?!

Are we ready for the full integration of AI in social media?

Episode Summary

A new survey from Angus Reid says most Canadians use social media--- and don't enjoy their experience. Privacy remains one of the top concerns, as a handful of companies have a near-monopoly on the most commonly used platforms. And with governments only just starting to talk about regulating social media for teens, are we as a society ready for the tidal wave that will be when AI is fully integrated? Host Mike Eppel speaks with Professor Richard Lachman from the RTA school of media at Toronto Metropolitan University to discuss what Ottawa can do and what Canadians could expect.
