Lou DiVizio opens up the podcast with headlines from around the state, many of which focus on the upcoming 60-day legislative session. Tonight, Nov. 18, Albuquerque City Council will meet to finalize its priorities heading into the session. You can watch that meeting live or after the fact here. Another topic on the agenda for lawmakers at the roundhouse next year will be regulating artificial intelligence. This week, KUNM's Megan Kamerick speaks with two computer science experts about their work pushing elected officials to create privacy guardrails on artificial intelligence. Dr. Cris Moore tells us how AI algorithms and social media can be a perfect storm to spread misinformation on a massive scale. Dr. Melanie Moses considers how a lack of transparency from technology companies could lead to loopholes when crafting laws regulating AI. Host: Lou DiVizio Correspondent: Megan Kamerick Guests: Dr. Melanie Moses, Ph.D., Professor, UNM Department of Computer Science Dr. Cris Moore, Ph.D., Professor, Santa Fe Institute 

This week on the podcast, Lou DiVizio updates the status of the federal Radiation Exposure Compensation Act which came to an end late last week. Then, Source New Mexico reporter Danielle Prokop asks U.S. Sen. Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., about his efforts to expand the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act to cover New Mexico.   For context on the efforts to extend and expand RECA, we included a 2021 interview between Russell Contreras and Tina Cordova from the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium. Cordova has been fighting for compensation for New Mexicans for decades. Finally on the show, we break down last week's primary elections with Dr. Timothy Krebs, chair of UNM's Political Science Department. Lou DiVizio asks Krebs to consider why two high-profile district attorney races went well for the incumbents, and whether big wins for progressive Democrats will shape the governor's approach to her policy agenda.  Host: Lou DiVizio    Segments:  Sen.

On New Mexico in Focus… The Asian American community held a rally in downtown Albuquerque this week in response to an increase in violent and harassing incidents across the state. That surge mirrors what is happening all over the country in the wake of charged and divisive language about the COVID-19 virus. It was just about two weeks ago that eight people were killed, six of them females of Asian descent, in a mass shooting in Atlanta, Georgia. Police officials were reticent from the start to call the shootings a hate crime. Host Gene Grant talks with members of the local Asian American/Pacific Islander community about how bad things have gotten here in New Mexico, and what can be done to turn the tide. Diversity has also been a huge challenge for years when it comes to local news coverage. Those concerns include not only the diversity of faces that deliver the news, but also the types of stories that are told. Gene Grant recently sat down with Albuquerque’s first African American president and general manager at a major news station, Lori Waldon of KOAT-TV. The two talk about the importance of who tells our stories and what those stories say about our communities. Gene Grant also sits down with three people at the center of a major development on the local public health front. The University of New Mexico Hospital was recently certified as the state’s first comprehensive stroke center. They discuss how this new designation will lead to faster and effective treatment for stroke patients, not just in Albuquerque, but across New Mexico.
