On this episode of Front Porch Politics, host Tim Boyum bounces from coast to coast, going from Washington, D.C., to California to explore the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and its impacts on misinformation.

Tim sits down with world-renowned researcher Toshi Anders Hoo of the Institute for the Future and goes deep into the world of deepfakes. He also talks to Josh Lawson, who is the former head of electoral and emerging risk at Meta. Lawson sheds light on the fact that America is not the only country holding a big election this year. He points out that over 4 billion people will be governed by newly elected leadership this election season. He also underscores that bad actors on social media are trying to sow discord among communities here.
