179 - The American Heritage: 250 Years of Liberty
A
20:07Andrew SnyderHOST
And now let's hear more about such limitations of government by means of the example set by George Washington, as discussed by novelist Michael Caine.
M
20:17Michael CaineGUEST
When Andrew asked for our thoughts on America, as an author, I immediately went to narratives and stories and national myths as something that interests me.
M
20:31Michael CaineGUEST
Washington really is our national hero, the one that's been most mythologized, to the point that there's things said about him often that aren't true.
M
20:45Michael CaineGUEST
When he was a young man, he fought with the British for the French-Indian War.

How is this changing the nature of what schools are dealing with, do you think, from the conversations you were having, but also the nature that, you know, young people, how are they to be able to dispel something, whether it's true or not, when it's so hard to tell now?

Michael CaineGUEST
Yeah, I think it's probably worth just first pausing on those two statistics, which first point, those are self-reported statistics in a poll.

Michael CaineGUEST
That does not include people who maybe didn't think they'd been exposed to AI and actually have been exposed to AI, which I guess is the kind of key point in all of this, that maybe we are just at the tip of the iceberg with this issue.

Michael CaineGUEST
I would also say in that polling question, we asked young people, of the kind of false and misleading information that's seen online, could they kind of attribute them? And those two, so that being AI-generated images and videos, as you put it, and deepfakes that you just cited were the top two.

Michael CaineGUEST
So outstripping every single other form of false or misleading content online, which again, I think speaks to the issue.

Michael CaineGUEST
And I think when we Around the focus groups, what was really noticeable was that step change in the real way that AI was impacting young people.

Michael CaineGUEST
There was a sense that, yeah, to come back to the kind of overall point in a lot of this work, it's really making it harder to tell what's real and fake online.

And with the update to keeping children safe in education as well, what were some of those conversations that teachers had with you guys during the reporting and research of this?

Karla BignascaHOST
And when those roads are left in poor conditions, particularly there's this huge maintenance gap with regional roads, That directly contributes to fatal accidents as well.
M
19:09Michael CaineGUEST
Yes, I mean, people do need to drive to the conditions, but we know that very poor roads do not give much room for error for a driver who might make a mistake or not drive as well as they could in that given moment.
M
19:29Michael CaineGUEST
So we've been calling for two actions from the Queensland Government with the budget.
M
19:33Michael CaineGUEST
One is an increase... 100 million to the targeted road safety program and that's basically funded by the camera detection and fine money so it's basically funded by Queenslanders who are getting fined but we think that needs to be topped up to 500 million but we're also calling for an extra billion dollars for road maintenance over four years because we know that the state of our roads across particularly regional Queensland is a major factor in road safety and it also impacts on productivity.

Karla BignascaHOST
Why is there such a massive blind spot? Do you have oversight when it comes to, you know, how we share the roads? Why is that such a massive blind spot when it comes to funding buses?
Afternoons with Michael McLaren - Thursday, 28th May

M
105:53Michael McLarenHOST
Is this about protecting truck drivers' jobs, or is it about community safety, or is it about all of the above and then some?
Michael CaineGUEST
And yes, of course, we have to think about what's going to happen in the future as technology continues to evolve.
M
107:21Michael McLarenHOST
But is the issue here the automation, per se, or is it the intersection of automation and human beings sharing the same roads at the same time?

What kind of patient experience can people expect when they walk in, other than what we just talked about?

Michael CainGUEST
It's very important for our staff to treat each person as an individual and know that each person has a special need and they're not just a number.

Michael CainGUEST
And so from the time they get brought back for their chief complaint to their visit through, and then as they get discharged and then calls and follow-ups and all that, that they're going to have continuity of care and that they feel like a person, not just a disease.
