Crossing Channels : IAST/TSE Podcast
Jointly produced by the Bennett Institute for Public Policy, University of Cambridge, and the Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse (IAST) this podcast series brings you interdisciplinary perspectives on significant challenges facing society today.
In this episode of Crossing Channels, Rachel Adams (University of Cambridge) and Tiziana Assenza (Toulouse School of Economics) explore how misinformation, platforms, and AI are reshaping today’s information landscape.
They highlight that misinformation isn’t just about false content—it’s also about the systems that control what we see, when we see it, and how widely it spreads. From overconfidence in spotting fake news to the role of emotions and identity, the discussion reveals why misinformation travels so fast—and how AI could deepen global inequalities in digital literacy, regulation, and accountability.
