   Episode 15: AI lies. - How to recognize and fight disinformation in the age of AI?

   Can AI actually "lie"? Jes Folden Hyldig, who works on cultural and AI-related projects at a public library, joins Lisa to unpack why that framing is a bit of a misnomer — and whyAI-generated disinformation is still a growing problem regardless. The conversation covers hallucinations, why convincing fake content is now so easy and cheap to produce at scale, the limits of AI detection tools, and who should be responsible for catching it. It closes with grounded, practical habits for staying critical without falling into constant suspicion. In this episode. Why "AI lies" is a misnomer — disinformation from AI is either deliberate misuse by humans or the result of AI hallucination, not intent How AI-generated disinformation differs from traditional fake news: it's cheaper, faster, and can flood the internet with content supporting a single false claim Why young people aren't automatically better at spotting AI content just because they're "digital natives" — and the cognitive risk of offloading too much thinking to AI The blurring line between real and fake video, images, and voice — and why even experts get fooled in both directions The particular risk of AI systems that feel human-relatable, including emotional over-reliance on chatbots and its mental health risks Where responsibility should sit: platforms, users, and the limits of trying to regulate AI-generated content Three practical habits: question content that flatters your own biases or feels "too good to be true," and protect your capacity for deep, sustained thinking through offline hobbiesor reading Links & resources: Chatbotpsychosis — overview of the phenomenon Jes references (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatbot_psychosis) What are AI hallucinations?

   “This English version was translated using artificial intelligence (HeyGen https://app.heygen.com/home) and uses an AI-generated reproduction of the speaker’s voice.”When an autonomous AI systemca uses harm, who should be held responsible: the developer, manufacturer, operator or user? This episode explores how accountability changes across human-in-the-loop, human-on-the-loop and human-out-of-the-loop systems, using autonomous vehicles, drones, finance, industry and workplace decisions as examples. The discussion highlights why meaningful human oversight, robust safety protocols, clear legal frameworks and AI literacy are essential. In this episode: How responsibility shifts depending on the level of human control and supervision. The difference between human-in-the-loop, human-on-the-loop and human-out-of-the-loop systems. What autonomous cars, drones and workplace decision-making reveal about real-world AI risks.

   Episode 12: AI in education and education on AI - the challenge of a new generation

   In Episode 12 of AI.Proof, student host Manuel Schmid speaks with his teacher Tim Grabner about the new subject “Life and Future Skills” at the HAK Mürzzuschlag. The episode explores how students can learn to use AI responsibly, critically andcreatively while developing key future skills such as collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity. In this episode: How the new subject “Life and Future Skills” prepares students for a fast-changing digital world Why the 4C model – creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration – matters for the future How journalism, clickbait and fake news can be used to teach media literacy Why AI should support learning and optimisation rather than simply enable cheating What makes a good prompt and why AI-generated results must always be checked and refined How the EU AI Act addresses risks, ethics and responsible use of artificial intelligence Links & resources: HAK Mürzzuschlag – information about the school and its educational programmes: www.hak-muerz.at (https://www.hak-muerz.at/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) EU AI Act – official information from the European Commission on the EU’s risk-based regulation of artificial intelligence: https://commission.europa.eu/news-and-media/news/ai-act-enters-force-2024-08-01_en?utm_source=chatgpt.com (https://commission.europa.eu/news-and-media/news/ai-act-enters-force-2024-08-01_en?utm_source=chatgpt.com) European Commission – Trusted Information Online – resources on media literacy, disinformation and evaluating reliable sources: https://commission.europa.eu/digital-life/finding-information-you-can-trust_en?utm_source=chatgpt.com (https://commission.europa.eu/digital-life/finding-information-you-can-trust_en?utm_source=chatgpt.com) European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO) – information and research on disinformation, fact-checking and media literacy: www.edmo.eu (https://edmo.eu/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) European Fact-Checking Standards Network (EFCSN) – resources on professional fact-checking standards in Europe: www.efcsn.com (https://efcsn.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Guest / contact: Guest: Mag.

    Episode 10: Why should we care about regulations of AI? And who regulates it?

    Why does AI regulation matter to everyone, not just lawmakers and tech companies? Entrepreneur and AI educator Alex Flutur joins host Lisa to unpack what "regulating AI" really means, how it already shapes everyday decisions like loans, job applications, and school admissions, and why biased data can quietly turn into discrimination. The conversation compares Europe's rules-first approach with the US's innovation-first model, and closes with a personal, cautionary story about how generative AI can hijack a social media feed — and public opinion along with it. In this episode: What "AI regulation" actually means: transparency between AI companies, governments, and end users How AI already touches everyday life — loan approvals, CV screening, school and university admissions Why training data bias can lead AI systems to discriminate, even unintentionally A comparison of the EU's risk-based Artificial Intelligence Act with the US's more company-led, innovation-first approach Alex's personal story of watching his grandmother's social feed drift from flowers and quotes into political propaganda Why Alex sees today's AI landscape as a "wild west," comparing it to cars before the invention of the seatbelt A call for shared responsibility between governments, companies, and civil society in shaping AI's future Links & resources: EU Artificial Intelligence Act — official text (EUR-Lex, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1689/oj/eng) EU AI Act — overview, "Shaping Europe's Digital Future" (European Commission) (https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/regulatory-framework-ai) EU AI Act: first regulation on artificial intelligence (European Parliament explainer) (https://www.europarl.europa.eu/topics/en/article/20230601STO93804/eu-ai-act-first-regulation-on-artificial-intelligence)AI Act Explorer — browse the Act by risk category (artificialintelligenceact.eu) (https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/ai-act-explorer/) What happened on TikTok around the Romanian elections?
