So, how do we combat disinformation without infringing on free speech? My guest today, Matthew Lease, is one of the leaders of an ambitious project called Good Systems, which is focused on developing innovative AI technologies to protect the information environment. His team is working to support journalists, fact-checkers, and analysts in their efforts to combat misinformation.

In fact, understanding ChatGPT in this way opens up exciting new possibilities for how we can harness its true potential.
