Artificial Intelligence with Sara Spencer

August 16, 2025·1 hr 2 min·5 clips

Jeff Moore frames the episode as one he has wanted to do for a long time. He presents artificial intelligence as a topic that is both widespread and easy to underestimate. The show starts from the idea that many people are already using AI without realizing it. It then moves into the claim that AI has quietly become part of daily life through Google, Alexa, Siri, grocery stores, banking, social media, and driving. Moore says that is part of what makes it dangerous. He argues that the technology is moving faster than most Americans realize. The conversation then shifts from convenience to control, with Moore warning that AI could influence what people do, where they go, how they vote, and who controls world governments. He treats disinformation as a live problem rather than a future one. The discussion points to falsehoods on social media that can spread from adversarial sources and get repeated by Americans. From there, the episode moves to deepfakes. Moore describes the fear that AI-generated videos and voices could make deception much more convincing. Sarah talks about AI chatbots that can sound remarkably human. She notes that when a bot can fool someone who knows what to look for, it can fool almost anyone else. The exchange stays focused on the practical danger of believability. Sarah then declines to speculate on what the federal government may have behind closed doors, while suggesting the United States government is highly advanced because of how it works with private innovators. Moore uses that opening to keep the discussion on hidden capability and public ignorance. The episode stays in that register, moving between current use, information warfare, and suspicion about what is happening behind closed doors. Moore repeatedly returns to the idea that the public is behind the curve. The show closes by hinting that he may do a future episode on how to prepare for the rise of AI. He also directs listeners to follow Sarah on social media and to connect with the show.
