This is so worrying- many hospital front line health workers are reporting scenes like this.
I am on call at the U this week. It’s bad- sick people in hallways, people who’d usually be admitted being sent out, HCW trying so hard to keep it safe in an inherently unsafe level of system overload. In JULY?!?! (From my view I don’t see system level administration engagement at all either.) It is genuinely bad.

I and my turtleneck are a tiny part of this forthcoming episode on music and AI. Timely as we look ahead to Canada's AI and Culture Summit. + We covered this topic in our newsletter, The National Interest.

Yesterday, the mother of a Tumbler Ridge Shooting victim filed a lawsuit against OpenAI – the makers of ChatGPT. With growing concerns about product safety and product liability, we recently explored this topic on AI Chatbot Lawsuits. Watch our full episode about the topic here: youtu.be/VAVpaUEpcuE

Fake and deepfaked doctors are all the rage online... it’s part of a bigger problem impacting Canadians who told the @CMA_Docs they encounter health misinformation at least occasionally. We ask @UAlbertaLaw @UAlbertaSPH Professor @CaulfieldTim about it.

Can you tell what's real and what's not? ✅ ❌ Generative AI tools like Veo 3, Sora, Grok, Nano Banana Pro, and Midjourney are making it increasingly harder to distinguish the real from the fake. If you want to learn how to cut through the noise, you have found the right page! 🔊

Disney has made a blockbuster deal with OpenAI and its app Sora - a billion-dollar investment that could revolutionize animation in Hollywood and insert Disney characters into public feeds... but will the technology also supercharge misinformation? We tried Sora ourselves: youtube.com/watch?v=2oOZUZv2…
