In “The Brain Lehrer Show” professor Sophia Rosenfield discuss many different issues we still deal with today in our society. The economic changes has made journalist harder and harder to maintain and give real truthful information. It has got a lot harder for us to figure out the difference between real and fake news nowadays. Technology and social media has played a massive role as to why reporters and journalism is dying slowly. It is hard to figure out which source is more trust worthy. Social media is apart of human beings everyday life but it looks like there are other people finding the interest of social media. Bot help to propogate fake news as well as inflate the apparent popularity of fake news on social media. Plateforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram have become a home to millions of social bots that spread fake news. We tend to sometimes believe the fake news because no one is being called out on it about the news. I agree with this podcast because we need to do better in removing fake news instead of ingoring it. Bots are algorithms that is set of logic step to complete a specific task that works in online social networks sites to execute tasks autonomously and repetitively.
Bots are becoming more and more smarter than majority of us because of their artificial skills and intelligence. We have machine learning, which is a method of data analysis that automates analytical model building. It is a branch of artificial intelligence based on the idea that system can learn from data and identify patterns and makes deicisions with minimal humans intervention but of course in order for this to work we need to teach the machine to work correctly.
In “The Brain Lehrer Show” Sophia Rosenfield brings an arugement about popular opinon and expert knowledge. Nowadays we live in a society we can get our news access from the news or even sometimes social media websites such as Twitter to give us today’s news. People are likely to read news written by non creditable sources instead of recieving factual important from a expert with knowledge. Why would someone trust Twitter over The Daily News. The New York Times are well educated, college graduate, knowledge experts writers who are being published but readers rather listen to popular opinon on social media.
