Episode Synopsis


Will Large Language Models (LLM) allow states to wage propaganda campaigns of unprecedented scale and persuasiveness? Or is this just another moral panic about new technology? In this episode, we talk with Lewis Griffin, Professor of Computer Vision at UCL. He has recently found some evidence that humans and LLMs can be persuaded in similar ways, and warns that it may soon be possible for states to optimise the persuasiveness of propaganda by testing it on LLMs, just like we test drugs on mice. Date of episode recording: 2023-10-17T00:00:00Z Duration: 01:23:33 Language of episode: English  Presenter: Reuben Adams Guests: Lewis Griffin Producer: Reuben Adams
