Episode 16: Farewell fake news‪!‬ Can design save us?

Fake or altered media is an accepted norm of our daily lives, but not only does it spread misinformation and enable fraud – it has completely eroded public trust in digital media as a whole. Truepic is tackling the problem head-on by using revolutionary technology to ensure we can trust what we see online. We sit down with Truepic’s former VP of Research & Development, Sherif Hanna, to hear how their tech paves the way for a healthier and more transparent society. From elections to activism, Tinder dates to Airbnb.
This is the last episode of ‘Can Design Save Us?’ for a while. We’re looking to return in the new year with even more incredible design stories.
