Podcast appearances and mentions of nina schick

In the run up to the 2024 presidential election, the concern with outside interference in our elections and the political debate surrounding them has never been higher. In this environment, we thought it would be a good time to re-release a podcast episode from season one on deepfakes and disinformation, which was originally released in March of 2021. Please listen to former podcast co-host and current candidate for Denver District Attorney John Walsh, Partner Jason Chipman, former counsel Matthew Ferraro, and Nina Schick, who discuss the phenomenon of deepfakes and the implications they have on society as a whole.

Anita was scrolling on Twitter when she found someone had made deepfake porn of her, without her permission. But that was just the start of her problems; she found it was difficult and expensive to get the deepfakes taken down and nigh-on impossible to prevent their proliferation online. So, what guardrails can regulators and tech companies put in place to prevent the spread of deepfakes and protect those whose likeness has been stolen without their consent? Technological fixes, such as deepfake detection software and deepfake watermarking exist, but can the technology keep up with the ever-improving capacities of generative AI?Host Hannah Murphy speaks to Hany Farid, digital forensics expert at the University of California, Berkeley; Nina Schick, CEO and founder of Tamang Ventures, author and Qlik AI Council member; and Sweet Anita, Twitch streamer.Tell us what you think of Tech Tonic and you could be in with a chance to win a pair of Bose QuietComfort 35 Wireless Headphones.

This week, we've got another fascinating conversation recorded at the 2023 ISF Congress in Rotterdam. This time, Steve speaks with generative AI expert Nina Schick. Nina and Steve discuss how AI, along with other technological trends that are evolving at exponential speed, are shaping both geopolitics and individual lives. Key Takeaways: 1. Generative AI is reshaping the geopolitical landscape. 2. Educating ourselves and others about the implications of quickly evolving tech in global affairs. 3. Industries struggling to regulate exponential technology. 4. There are more questions than answers as we look to the future in tech. Tune in to hear more about: 1. AI's geopolitical impacts (3:13) 2. Learning about how tech is impacting global affairs (9:53) 3. Regulation challenges (11:55) 4. Nina Shick's take on the economics of generative AI  (16:27) Standout Quotes: 1. “As the oil economies of Saudi Arabia and UAE seek to diversify away from oil and energy, one of the things that they're doing is trying to become very high tech economies when artificial intelligence is absolutely leading the way with these strategies. And there's so much money going to be invested in the Gulf in the coming decade when it comes to artificial intelligence. Again, even though these are relatively small countries, they are perhaps going to punch above their weight when it comes to power that is harnessed by artificial intelligence. And that means in a military sense, in an economic sense, and ultimately, you know, a geopolitical sense.” -Nina Schick 2. “I think the harder thing also are the non technical solutions – you know, education, literacy – how do people get upskilled in terms of understanding the new capabilities of artificial intelligence and how they will be deployed in their respective domains? So I think it's not only that there are technical solutions, there are also societal and learning solutions which perhaps we're going to have to get on top of very, very quickly.” -Nina Schick 3. “Regulators have to work with industry. There's no way they can do this themselves. And already in many of the kind of more promising areas with dealing with some of the challenges, such as information integrity, when you come to questions like provenance, you see industry championing the way and supporting regulators.” -Nina Schick 4. “Will there be economic value associated with AI? I think, absolutely. But the question is, how's that going to be distributed? And is it going to be monopolized? So that's going to happen with regards to the tech giants, who I think will become very, very, very powerful. I think this will continue to be a priority of utmost importance to governments. I think this challenge, or this kind of race between China and the US with regards to artificial intelligence will continue to play out. I think the Middle East is going to become a strong contender. And I suspect Europe might fall behind a little bit … And actually, I think that this technology is also going to be in the hands of millions of people.” -Nina Schick Mentioned in this episode: Threat Horizon 2024: the Disintegration of Trust ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

In this episode, we examine a series of Sam's conversations centered around social media's impact on the information landscape. We begin with Sam's second conversation with Tristan Harris, which was conducted shortly after the release of Tristan's documentary, The Social Dilemma. The documentary lays out Tristan's thesis on how social media is causing the deterioration of both individual and societal welfare. Author and technologist Jaron Lanier follows, echoing Tristan's concerns and shifting the conversation to social media's unique business model, addressing how perverse incentives reliably produce such detrimental outcomes. We then hear from Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter. Sam and Dorsey's conversation took place when Dorsey was still working at Twitter, and Sam still had an account. However, the questions they pose—relating to issues of content moderation and corporate transparency—are even more relevant today. Next, psychologist Jonathan Haidt presents the alarming findings from his research on the psychological effects of social media, detailing how teenage girls are bearing the brunt of a mental health crisis.  Shifting to a more political lens, Sam and Cass Sunstein discuss Sunstein's book, #Republic, and Sunstein addresses one of Sam's most pressing fears of the last seven years: how social media is warping our opinions on politics. We then narrow down on this issue, with Zeynep Tufekci explaining the real-life consequences of social media's influence on protest movements. Finally, Sam and technology analyst Nina Schick dive into one of the most urgent concerns of the AI boom: deepfakes and how they might be weaponized to further pollute and degrade our information landscape.   About the Series Filmmaker Jay Shapiro has produced The Essential Sam Harris, a new series of audio documentaries exploring the major topics that Sam has focused on over the course of his career. Each episode weaves together original analysis, critical perspective, and novel thought experiments with some of the most compelling exchanges from the Making Sense archive. Whether you are new to a particular topic, or think you have your mind made up about it, we think you'll find this series fascinating.

The BBC chairman Richard Sharp has resigned after a report found he broke transparency rules over his dealings with Boris Johnson ahead of his appointment. Adam is joined by culture and media editor, Katie Razzall, and whitehall editor at the Sunday Times, Gabriel Pogrund, who uncovered the story that prompted the report. And we look at the present and future of artificial intelligence with AI expert Nina Schick, and Will Jackson creator of human-like robot AMECA. Today's Newscast was presented by Adam Fleming. It was made by Chris Flynn with Rufus Gray and Cordelia Hemming. The technical producer was Michael Regaard. The news editor was Damon Rose.

The Generative AI News (GAIN) rundown for April 6, 2023, focused on regulators and OpenAI, ChatGPT's popularity compared to the iPhone, deepfake disclosure, authentication and ownership, monetizing those generative AI models, what's Meta doing, and more. Bret Kinsella (that's me) hosts this week with guests Nina Schick, the author of the 2020 book Deepfakes, and Eric Schwartz, head writer at Voicebot.ai. The top stories in generative AI land this week include: ChatGPT Gets Banned A time-out chair for OpenAI and some unfortunate users: Italy took action. Canada opened an investigation. France received complaints. Germany and Ireland indicated they'd like to get involved. Regulators have OpenAI in their sights. How will it go down? ChatGPT vs. Alexa vs. iPhone Compared to what?: ChatGPT is a phenomenon, but how does it stack up to the hype of earlier products? We compare ChatGPT to some notable break-out hits. Deepfake Solutions Provenance in the unreal valley: It's a deepfake, but you want to disclose its synthetic origins. You also want to show its history and ownership. How about a cryptographic signature from Truepic that tracks the life of the digital artifact? The unbearable likeness of your being: Those amazingly lifelike avatars don't have a clear ownership model today. Someone could make a deepfake of you, and what recourse do you have? However, if you owned the copyright to your digital likeness… Bing Chat Ads Arrive Paying for those GPT-4 inference costs: We knew they were coming, and now we know what they look like, at least one format. Bing Chat has ads that look a lot like what you see in web searches today, with a twist. Generative AI definitely has a revenue model. Meta Gets Objective Alignment is king: Meta rolled out another researcher-only generative AI model. However, this time it showed up with a demonstration app. Segment Anything is a new AI (foundation) model for identifying objects in images and being able to save them separately from the picture with two clicks. Canva, the True Believer Taking the lead over Microsoft: The Redmond giant has talked about DALL-E and GPT-4 in Microsoft Designer and coming to PowerPoint. Canva just started adding new features. A light skepticism from the company in December (ironically about new generative AI features) was replaced by more robust tools and a bigger vision.

Generative AI is a topic causing excitement and concern in the entertainment industry. Powerful technology such as deep fakes, ChatGPT and Dall-E-2 is rapidly impacting the content creation process — from editing and special effects to the scripts and performances themselves. To talk about this hot-button issue, we're joined by Nina Schick and Matt Belloni. Schick is an AI advisor, speaker, and author of Deepfakes: The Coming Infocalypse. Belloni is the former editor of Hollywood Reporter and Founding Partner of Puck, a next-generation digital media company. **The views expressed by the guests are their own and not that of SAG-AFTRA.

Nina Schick is an author, speaker, advisor and expert in deepfakes, synthetic media, cybersecurity and the geopolitics of technology. She has advised global leaders, including Joe Biden and the former Secretary General of NATO amongst many other major companies and government agencies. In this episode we discuss what is about to happen as as we begin to unlock the power of Generative Artificial Intelligence models. Nina believes that by 2025, up to 90% of all digital content will be generated by AI - we've now hit an exponential curve in terms of generative AI output. We talk about recent models/platforms such as DALL-E 2, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion, what tools are available right now and what is about to happen next. This truly is a mind-blowing episode as we discuss what a world looks like where AI is a core component. We also discuss how AI will likely become integrated into metaverse creation too. Nina does an incredible job of explaining these concepts in a way that is accessible and thought provoking, thank you Nina for coming on. --- Your link to RSVP to the in real life showcase of The Row - click here This show is brought to you by Everyrealm, who are your portal to the metaverse.

If anything can be a deepfake, perhaps nothing can be trusted - and politicians can take advantage of the so called "Liars' dividend" by dismissing real media as fake. In satire, deepfakes have already had a controversial impact, targeting politicians, business leaders, and celebrities. Meanwhile, convincing deepfake audio and video have the potential to create a new wave of fraud where faces, voices and bodies can be stolen. These malicious uses of deepfake technology started out targeting celebrities and people in the public eye, but have become a mainstream challenge for cyber security professionals and ordinary individuals whose images have been used without their consent. Deepfakes can be used to defame or discredit people - but on the flip side, the cry of ‘deepfake' could undermine trust in the use of video evidence in the justice system. What can we do to protect citizens from synthetic media's malicious uses? And might there be some positive applications for deepfakes in politics?

Es gibt zurzeit ein „ein vielleicht sogar historisches Moment“ im Bereich Adressable TV (ATV). So sieht das zumindest Dr. Oliver Vesper, Co-Chief Executive Officer und Managing Director Media & Operations bei smartclip Europe. Bei ATV soll die Reichweite des linearen TVs zusammengebracht werden mit den Möglichkeiten der gezielten Aussteuerung von Werbung in der digitalen Welt. Doch nach welchen Spielregeln der Markt gestaltet werden sollte, das sei nach wie vor offen, so Vesper. Er plädierte bei den Medientagen dafür, dass die Anbieter in dem Bereich ihre eigenen Regeln schaffen, um sich unabhängig von den großen Plattformen im Online-Markt zu machen. ATV sei da „die einzige Bastion, die noch nicht gefallen ist“. Allein diese Diskussion zeigt exemplarisch: Es ist viel in Bewegung im Smart-TV Sektor. Ob bei der Vermarktung, beim Content und seiner Auffindbarkeit oder beim Thema Social TV. All das wurde diskutiert beim Special „Connect! The Future of TV”, das im Rahmen der Medientage München in Kooperation mit MEKmedia stattfand. Wir fassen einige Aussagen in dieser Folge unseres Podcasts zusammen und feiern auch die Gewinner des Smart TV Awards, der bei den MTM21 zusammen mit der Deutschen TV-Plattform an innovative Projekte vergeben wurden. Außerdem gibt es wieder einen Buchtipp. Dieses Mal: „Deepfakes: Wie gefälschte Botschaften im Netz unsere Demokratie gefährden und unsere Leben zerstören können“ von Nina Schick.

The media is plenty freaked out about “deepfakes”: Computer-generated videos of famous people saying things they never actually said. But only the video is faked; the audio parts, the voices of those fake celebrities, were supplied by human impersonators. But now, software exists to mimic anyone's voice, opening a Pandora's Box of fraud, deception, and what one expert calls “the end of trust.” Fortunately, a new coalition of 60 news organizations and software companies think they have a way to shut down the nightmare before it begins.Guests: Ragavan Thurairatnam, Dessa.

If a nuclear winter or asteroid impact blocked the sun for years, our inability to grow food would result in billions dying of starvation, right? According to Dr Dave Denkenberger, co-author of Feeding Everyone No Matter What: no. If he's to be believed, nobody need starve at all.Even without the sun, Dave sees the Earth as a bountiful food source. Mushrooms farmed on decaying wood. Bacteria fed with natural gas. Fish and mussels supported by sudden upwelling of ocean nutrients – and many more.Dr Denkenberger is an Assistant Professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and he's out to spread the word that while a nuclear winter might be horrible, experts have been mistaken to assume that mass starvation is an inevitability. In fact, he says, the only thing that would prevent us from feeding the world is insufficient preparation.Dave was the natural choice to introduce the problem of feeding the world through catastrophes. Full transcript, related links, and summary of this interviewThis episode first broadcast on the regular 80,000 Hours Podcast feed on December 27, 2018.

The Government's flat-footed and callous response to the collapse of Afghanistan and the resultant refugee crisis has enraged even the House of Commons. What should Britain do to help the people who helped us? And was the whole enterprise for nothing? Also, after the the horrific killings in Plymouth, should we see the incel culture as terrorism?“This is cutting deep into the Tories' idea of who we are… They have woken up to the fact that Biden like Trump is pursuing an America First policy.” – Ian Dunt“The Government has called this wrong… The British public are bloody sympathetic to Afghan refugees and want them helped.” – Naomi Smith“The promise to people who helped us was that we will protect you. That's a promise we have completely broken.” – Ian Dunt“This is not a reformed, humane Taliban… Everyone who disagrees with their interpretation of Islam is in danger of violent, painful death.” – Nina Schickwww.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnowPresented by Dorian Lynskey with Naomi Smith, Nina Schick and Ian Dunt.

In Operation Trojan Shield an FBI-led alliance of national security services used ANOM, a fake EncroChat-style communication network, to capture 800 criminals in possibly the biggest undercover cyber-sting ever. They netted over 32 tons of drugs and more than $148 million in cash. But why could this coup be a bit of an own goal for the authorities? International security expert Dr Binoy Kampmark of RMIT University in Melbourne tells Nina Schick what the sting means – and how US law enforcement tours the world for countries with “back doors” into private data. “The problem is that these criminals will now go back to Apple – because Apple fights for privacy.” “Governments want to control the tech companies – but they also like the way those companies act.” Presented by Nina Schick. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.

Will US journalist Tom McTague's lengthy profile for The Atlantic help us comprehend the dumbfounding appeal of Prime Minister Posh Benny Hill? Plus, what does the G7's Biden-boosted tax rate for multinationals tell us about legislating against companies that are bigger than countries? And on the eve of the Euros, our not-very-football panel ponder the most political preamble to a sporting tournament ever. • “Johnson is a master of getting away with it. He's that breed of privileged person who fails upwards.” – Naomi Smith • “Nothing in certain in life except death and taxes – unless you're Amazon and Facebook.” – Nina Schick • “Don't vote for something just because it will f**k up another part of the country. Cos it will come back and f**k you.” – Dorian Lynskey • “It seems that you have to be some sort of sadist or masochist to want to be in British public life.” – Nina Schick Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ros Taylor, Naomi Smith and Nina Schick.

So, Brexit five months in – how’s it going? As the Government prepares to pauperise Britain’s farmers with its Australian trade deal, and as Unionists compare the NI Protocol to the Vichy Regime, are the wheels finally off the Brexit bus? Plus the FT’s Chief Political Correspondent Jim Pickard joins us to look at David Cameron’s performance in committee and how the Greensill saga is playing out. And we say goodbye to a beloved friend of the podcast. Audio warning: Jim is recording from inside a cupboard in the House of Commons. Please be kind. “All of these ‘teething problems’ should have been dealt with in the transition period. How long did business get to prepare? Six days.” – Alex Andreou“Why are we bringing a dead cow from the other side of the world? Is Australian beef really that much better?” – Jim Fitzpatrick“This Prime Minister flip flops more than most men change their socks.” – Nina Schick“Cameron promised to clean up lobbying while simultaneously selling himself for dinners on the Conservative website.” – Alex Andreou“For those of us following Cameron’s story closely, there were some hilarious excursions into parallel reality.” – Jim FitzpatrickPresented by Naomi Smith with Nina Schick and Alex Andreou.

You might have heard fears like this in the last few years: What if Donald Trump was woken up in the middle of the night and shown a fake video — indistinguishable from a real one — in which Kim Jong Un announced an imminent nuclear strike on the U.S.? Today’s guest Nina Schick, author of Deepfakes: The Coming Infocalypse, thinks these concerns were the result of hysterical reporting, and that the barriers to entry in terms of making a very sophisticated ‘deepfake’ video today are a lot higher than people think. But she also says that by the end of the decade, YouTubers will be able to produce the kind of content that's currently only accessible to Hollywood studios. So is it just a matter of time until we’ll be right to be terrified of this stuff? Links to learn more, summary and full transcript. Nina thinks the problem of misinformation and disinformation might be roughly as important as climate change, because as she says: “Everything exists within this information ecosystem, it encompasses everything.” We haven’t done enough research to properly weigh in on that ourselves, but Rob did present Nina with some early objections, such as: • Won’t people quickly learn that audio and video can be faked, and so will only take them seriously if they come from a trusted source? • If photoshop didn’t lead to total chaos, why should this be any different? But the grim reality is that if you wrote “I believe that the world will end on April 6, 2022” and pasted it next to a photo of Albert Einstein — a lot of people would believe it was a genuine quote. And Nina thinks that flawless synthetic videos will represent a significant jump in our ability to deceive. She also points out that the direct impact of fake videos is just one side of the issue. In a world where all media can be faked, everything can be denied. Consider Trump’s infamous Access Hollywood tape. If that happened in 2020 instead of 2016, he would have almost certainly claimed it was fake — and that claim wouldn’t be obviously ridiculous. Malignant politicians everywhere could plausibly deny footage of them receiving a bribe, or ordering a massacre. What happens if in every criminal trial, a suspect caught on camera can just look at the jury and say “that video is fake”? Nina says that undeniably, this technology is going to give bad actors a lot of scope for not having accountability for their actions. As we try to inoculate people against being tricked by synthetic media, we risk corroding their trust in all authentic media too. And Nina asks: If you can't agree on any set of objective facts or norms on which to start your debate, how on earth do you even run a society? Nina and Rob also talk about a bunch of other topics, including: • The history of disinformation, and groups who sow disinformation professionally • How deepfake pornography is used to attack and silence women activitists • The key differences between how this technology interacts with liberal democracies vs. authoritarian regimes • Whether we should make it illegal to make a deepfake of someone without their permission • And the coolest positive uses of this technology Producer: Keiran Harris.

The Prime Minister’s affair with a woman who was receiving large amounts public money is confirmed – and nobody is talking about it? We look at the corruption and the democratic toxin behind the Johnson-Arcuri leg-over. Plus, a weirdos’ gallery of old Brexiters is setting up a ‘Museum of Brexit’. How can it possibly be balanced, like they claim? And why the school protests outside Batley Grammar should worry everyone. “The intended audience for the Government’s report? White people.” – Alex Andreou “What’s important about the Arcuri scandal isn’t the sex, it’s the money.” – Ian Dunt“Free speech is sacrosanct. No matter how outrageous someone’s beliefs are, they should have the right to express them.” – Nina Schtick“The assumption that ‘people will be decent’ isn’t enough to protect us any more.” – Alex Andreou“A brown paper envelope stuffed with money? Every gets that. The arrangements around procurement arrangements, that’s a harder sell.” – Ian DuntPresented by Ros Taylor with Alex Andreou, Nina Schick and Ian Dunt. Produced by Andrew Harrison.

WilmerHale podcast co-host and Partner John Walsh welcomes Partner Jason Chipman, who moderates a discussion between fellow WilmerHale lawyer Matthew Ferraro and special guest Nina Schick on “deepfakes”—using synthetic media to spread misinformation or disinformation. Schick is an author, advisor and speaker who has become an expert on how technology and artificial intelligence are reshaping our society. She is the author of the 2020 book Deepfakes: The Coming Infocalypse. Ferraro, a counsel at WilmerHale, is a prolific writer on deepfakes and disinformation. Before joining WilmerHale, he worked as an intelligence officer with the US government and brings to his practice his experience in intelligence issues and national security. Chipman's practice focuses on how the rapidly evolving world of technology interacts with the law—and the opportunities and challenges that interaction presents. Ferraro and Schick talk with Chipman about the definition and examples of deepfakes, the fast-developing technology used to create and detect deepfakes, the potential for AI technology to be used for good, and the implications of deepfakes on government, business and society as a whole.   Links:  https://ninaschick.org/ (Nina Schick's website) and book, https://www.amazon.com/Deepfakes-Coming-Infocalypse-Nina-Schick/dp/1538754304/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1616701410&sr=8-1 (Deepfakes: The Coming Infocalypse) https://www.wilmerhale.com/en/people/matthew-ferraro (Matthew Ferraro's bio) https://www.wilmerhale.com/en/people/jason-chipman (Jason Chipman's bio) https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/infamous-war-worlds-radio-broadcast-was-magnificent-fluke-180955180/ (Orson Welles' War of the Worlds broadcast) (Smithsonian Mag) “https://www.npr.org/2021/03/11/975849508/slick-tom-cruise-deepfakes-signal-that-near-flawless-forgeries-may-be-here (Slick Tom Cruise Deepfakes Signal That Near Flawless Forgeries May Be Here)” (NPR) “https://www.vice.com/en/article/neqb98/reddit-shuts-down-deepfakes (Reddit Just Shut Down the Deepfakes Subreddit)” (Vice) https://news.mit.edu/2020/mit-tackles-misinformation-in-event-of-moon-disaster-0720 (MIT's Center for Advanced Virtuality's project), “https://moondisaster.org/ (In Event of Moon Disaster)” “https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a30432647/deepfake-youtube-video-fixes-the-irishman-de-aging/ (Some Deepfaker on YouTube Spent Seven Days Fixing the Shitty De-Aging in The Irishman)” (Esquire) https://www.wilmerhale.com/en/search?keyword=deepfakes&type=Insights (WilmerHale's thought leadership on deepfakes)

Nina Schick (@NinaDSchick) specializes in how technology is transforming geopolitics and society in the 21st century. She is the author of Deepfakes: The Coming Infocalypse. What We Discuss with Nina Schick: What deepfakes are and how they're created using technology that is getting exponentially more sophisticated every year and accessible to anyone. How deepfakes go beyond novelty and into dangerous territory occupied by blackmailers, propagandists, terrorists, conspiracy theorists, and other unsavory ne'er-do-wells who profit by making the rest of us doubt what we can trust as reality. Why deepfakes are so much more concerning than reality-bending manipulations of the past. The potential positive uses of AI-assisted deepfake technology that will change our world as dramatically as the advent of the Internet. How we can discern between real photo, video, or audio footage and imposter deepfakes to avoid being duped by 21st-century technoshysters. And much more...

What does today's International Women's Day stand for when we're in the middle of a new wave of feminism? What can women expect from government when its fill-in Equalities Minister thinks there ought to be a Minister for Men? Naomi Smith presents a special edition with regulars Nina Schick and Minnie Rahman plus special guest Jude Kelly, former artistic director of the Southbank Centre and founder of the WOW – Women of the World – Foundation. “It always irritates me when a man says ‘I'm interested in feminism because of my daughter'. Well, didn't you care before?” – Jude Kelly“It's no good just having someone like Priti Patel in cabinet, unless there's a matching political will for gender equality.” – Minnie Rahman“Having to persuade and listen for centuries has given women fantastic negotiating skills – and men can really learn from that.” – Jude KellyPresented by Naomi Smith with Nina Schick and Minnie Rahman.

What if they gave a War on Woke and nobody came? The Government decides to both defend free speech (if you’re a right winger on campus) and restrict it (if you run a stately home named after a slave owner). So that makes sense. Plus: As there’s no credible recovery programme for education, Gráinne Hallahan of the Times Education Supplement joins us to set one out. Gav, call us yeah? Meanwhile… Ros gets a COVID jab! The Arts get their own special No Deal Brexit! And in the Extra Bit, we watch Adam Curtis’s collage-doc digital jeremiad Can’t Get You Out Of My Head. “Each side of this culture war is proclaiming itself as the true arbiter of history.” – Nina Schick“Voltaire and Rousseau wrestled with free speech. Now the Government has decided it’s time for Gavin Williamson to sort it out.” – Alex Andreou“The Government likes the idea of free speech but doesn’t want on engage in any of the complexities.” – Ros Taylor“History is never static.… Let Britain’s monuments be evaluated in terms of what they mean now.” – Nina Schick“Boris Johnson thinks schools are safe, it’s just the children going into them that make them dangerous…” – Gráinne Hallahan“If the National Theatre can’t tour the EU, then nobody can do it.” – Alex AndreouPresented by Dorian Lynskey with Nina Schick, Alex Andreou and Ros Taylor.

It’s a little bit later than usual but still early for Patreon backers… Our long international nightmare is over – for now. As Trump exits the White House to fester in Mar-A-Lago, former UK Ambassador to the USA Kim Darroch joins us to look at what the Biden/Harris Era will mean for British trade, British foreign policy, and Boris “Britain Trump” Johnson. Plus: What does that huge exodus of immigrants from the UK mean for the character of our cities and the future of our country? And why do middle-class British people insist on claiming they’re working class?“There was never a moment where you felt that Trump would ever be a normal President…” – Kim Darroch“British Customs policy is like rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic after the Titanic has sunk.” – Naomi Smith“There’s no doubt that ending Freedom of Movement was a cynical ploy to get non-EU immigrants to support Brexit.” – Nina Schick“If you ever followed Trump’s career, you knew it was a no-brainer that he would never accept losing an election.” – Kim Darroch“Priti Patel’s home office isn’t iron-fisted, it’s ham-fisted.” – Naomi SmithPresented by Dorian Lynskey with Naomi Smith and Nina Schick.

Adam Boulton and guests assess the Chancellor's Spending Review with a particular focus on the decision to cut the international budget from 0.7 to 0.5 percent.The move breaks a Conservative manifesto commitment and causes the Prime Minister some political discomfort with the threat of a backbench rebellion.And what of the Brexit endgame?

What does the rise of President Joe mean for Britain and our shapeshifting creep of a PM? If Donald Trump can’t win in America’s democracy, would he really destroy it? And why are politicians so bad at Twitter? We’re thrilled to welcome special guest Emily Bazelon from the podcast that inspired us, the Slate Political Gabfest, to dissect the monsters produced by Trump’s electoral death throes.“I just can’t believe that people are prepared to mess around with the most important thing about a country – that democracy continues” – Emily Bazelon“If we’ve got a Republican Party that thinks delegitimising an entire election is worth doing, that’s incredibly dangerous” – Emily Bazelon“What is Dominic Saab scared of? He’s scared of a nutcase with a smartphone” – Alex Andreou““We lost the election and now we’re going to blame the person who RAN the election?” – Emily Bazelon“It’s always progressives who are urged to reach out, never the other way around” – Alex AndreouPresented by Dorian Lynskey with Nina Schick and Alex Andreou.

While forgery and deception are intrinsically linked to the human condition, the information age in which we live is increasingly moving toward what author and broadcaster Nina Schick describes as the infocalypse, a point in the not-too-distant-future when it will become impossible to tell what is real and what is fake in the media we consume. Over the last decade, Nina has cultivated her expertise in geopolitics and emerging technology. She has worked on the frontline of major global events including Brexit; the EU's migrant crisis; election interference; and on the evolution of disinformation and information warfare. Nina has advised a group of global leaders including Joe Biden, the former Vice President of the United States, and Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the former Secretary General of NATO, on deepfakes.

Recorded before No.10 imposed a solution on Manchester. With Manchester refusing to accept Government terms to enter Tier 3, and Wales heading for a ‘circuit-breaker', what does rebellion in the regions mean for the Government's lockdown strategy?

We live in a time where technology has become so incredibly powerful that it can corrupt any type of media you consume including video and audio. The most sinister of these instruments, deepfakes. We sat down with the political-technology author Nina Schick to discuss why this tool could just be the most dangerous threat we have in our society today and why she thinks this tool has the potential to turn reality as we knew it upside down.

In this week's podcast Nina Schick speaks to Carl Miller about the rise of Deepfakes and what she believes is an impending 'Infocalypse'. Advances in AI mean that by scanning images of a person (for example using Facebook), a powerful machine learning system can create new video images and place them in scenarios and situations which never actually happened. When combined with powerful voice AI, the results are utterly convincing.So-called 'Deep Fakes' are not only a real threat for democracy but they take the manipulation of ordinary life experiences to new levels.

Why do former democrats and intellectuals so often make the squalid journey from liberalism to hardline nationalism? Historian ANNE APPLEBAUM's new book Twilight Of Democracy: The Failure Of Politics And The Parting Of Friends describes why once-liberal people make deals with devils of demagoguery. She talks to Nina Schick about the revenge of the second-raters, the lure of performative rage, how toxic nostalgia feeds authoritarianism and worse… and what we can do about it. “If you despair that your society is coming to an end, you will embrace desperate measures.”“When Trump tweets ‘LAW AND ORDER' what he's saying is, I can shut these people up.”“Brexit was a coup carried out by one part of the elite against another part of the elite.”“The defeat of Donald Trump is absolutely the most important thing that needs to happen for the world to move forward.”Presented by Nina Schick.

With the world gripped by the most significant anti-racist demonstrations in half a century, why are we still obsessing over Churchill? Do we overstate the power and significance of ageing Nazis in off-brand polo shirts running around Trafalgar Square? Could Britain actually shrink its police? Plus: so farewell then, DFiD. How the spread of fake data is producing a “Liar’s Dividend”. And why Marcus Rashford can only nutmeg the Government once. “The goal of far right politics IS violence.

After the Sunday Times exposé of Johnson's indolent initial response to the COVID crisis, is the Government's infantile “rebuttal” an attempt to rewrite the facts of what happened?

Joining Adam are political consultant Nina Schick, co-founder of The Full Brexit Dr Philip Cunliffe and Sky's deputy political editor Sam Coates.

They put tweets that Brexiters would rather forget on giant billboards, chased Farage around the country with reminders of his lies, and annoyed loony-right glove puppet Guido Fawkes so much he outed them for spite.

In this episode: What’s in the WAB and has any May idea ever died quite so quickly? Final learnings from the EU Election campaign that everyone pretended never was. The pros and cons of milkshaking.

Negotiator and trade expert Dmitry Grozoubinski explains the reality of No Deal in terms you can take away and tell your Brexity Uncle Ken (maybe). The mythical Article 24 of GATT is back, somehow, so Dmitry patiently sets out why it’s a load of unicorn poo. And much, much more. “The fact that the Referendum happened is now used to justify the Referendum.

What will Labour’s “all things to everyone” stance to do its vote? How do we fight the Brexit Party’s “all rage, no content’’ politics? Just how screwed are the Conservatives? Why a Farage victory might be a good thing for Remain. And we (try to) answer the only question that matters: who should Remainers vote for? PLUS Why the media’s middle class cringe gets Leave politicians off the hook. A first-ever Brexit football analogy for Remainiacs (plus some shocking anti-Spurs bias) from grieving Arsenal fanatic Stephen Bush. How CHUK failed to a make even a first impression. And why are we ignoring Clarabell who runs a recycling centre in Brighton?“First you create the humiliation. Then you just seed that humiliation and benefit from it.

As Theresa May bows to the inevitable and asks for a short delay to Brexit, we ask what it’ll mean when a merciful EU insists on rather a longer one. Do the hard Brexit headbangers have what it takes to bring her down or are the ERG now fatally split? Were the Lab-Con talks just about optics? What is “perfidious Albion” anyway? And when a Hansard survey says a great many Britons would be happy with a “strongman who breaks the rules”, do we really have to worry about Britain falling into the hands of our own Orbán, Bolsanaro or Trump? Our special guest this week is barrister and writer JAMIE SUSSKIND, author of the fascinating exploration of the digitally-dominated society we’ll all be living in. Listen and find out why, in the age of Big Data and AI, Brexit is the last thing you need to worry about. Hey, you didn’t come to this show to be cheered up now, did you?

The flaming wreckage of The Deal is all around us (yet again) but what happens next? Can Theresa May salvage anything from her plans and career? Is there enough turd polish around to give the Deal another go-round? What even is Malthouse 2.0? And is it democratically necessary to give the people the option to vote for catastrophe? Our special guests are LAYLA MORAN MP – Lib Dem Education spokesman and indefatigable People’s Vote warrior – and our brother-in podcasting TIM MCINERNEY of the brilliant Irish Passport podcast (theirishpassport.com). Listen in as Layla gives us fascinating insights into what it’s like to vote as an MP on such a momentous day as Tuesday. And Tim tells us what English people just do not get about the Anglo-Irish relationship – and what could happen if we No Deal. Oh, and there may well be an Emergency Podcast later in the week. Who knows? We don’t. Theresa May doesn’t. NOBODY KNOWS. “This is 100% full-spectrum wrong.

And what the hell happens next?Plus we welcome our very first Leaver guest Oliver Norgrove to Remainiacs. How did leaving the EU mutate from a serious intellectual position into a destructive and unforgiving religion? When exactly did this Leave enthusiast lose faith in the cause?

Adam Boulton and guests discuss the options available to Theresa May as she tries to win support for a Brexit 'Plan B' among her parliamentary colleagues. With the clock ticking towards 29th March, can the Prime Minister secure a deal? Will Article 50 be delayed? Can and will a 'No Deal Brexit' be taken off the table? Will the hard Brexiteers be left with no option but to back some form of deal? We know there won't be a 'second referendum' amendment which has raised questions about the Labour leadership among the party's own MPs so what is Jeremy Corbyn's next move? Joining Adam are Sky's deputy political editor Beth Rigby, political consultant and commentator Nina Schick, deputy editor of the Article Olivia Utley and the Head of Sky Data Harry Carr.

As things get WORSE and WORSE and BLOODY WORSE we welcome much-loved Brexit-baiting comedian and actor MARCUS BRIGSTOCKE to stare into the vortex one more time.Should we say NO WAY, NORWAY? Will a televised May vs Corbyn ding-dong be the new Frost/Nixon or a pointless yammer between a Remainer who pretends she’s a Leaver and a Leaver who pretend he’s a Remainer?How would Marcus’s nice-but-dim Tory boy creation Giles Wemmbley-Hogg deal with the jolly sticky mess his old chums have inadvertently created? Oh and the economy is doomed. But you knew that.This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Ros Taylor with Nina Schick and Ian Dunt. Audio production: Alex Rees.

Are the Met really dragging their feet on investigating the Leave campaign’s alleged cheating because of political pressure?

Guardian columnist and Left Against Brexit activist ZOE WILLIAMS joins us to talk over the surreal Operation Yellowhammer, Boris Johnson’s Operation I Still Want To Be Prime Minister, why the ERG can’t stop battering the corpse of Chequers… and the Brexit battle on the New Left. What will it take to dispel the Lexit fantasy? And how can Labour supporters shift the party to support a People’s Vote?“For Labour, the electoral argument against Brexit is dead,” says Zoe. “And if you’re not against a Far Right project like Brexit, then what is the Left for?”This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ros Taylor and Nina Schick.

You wait forever for a Conservative Remainer on the show… and then two come along at once. This week SIMON ALLISON of “Torymainer” group Citizens4Britain joins us to discuss the Tory conference gagging Brexit dissenters, how the Party of Business became the Party of F**k Business, why Tories need to Take Back Control of their own party… and where next for a country with a Government that can’t govern.Plus: What’s behind the hazy notion of Theresa May’s offer of an unconditional Right To Remain for EU citizens, even under No Deal? Who’s pushing it and who’s blocking it? Do Remainers all have to wear SuperDry now that its co-founder is backing the People’s Vote? We brace ourselves for those technical papers.
