AI Regs; Indigenous Long View Post-Election

This week on New Mexico in Focus, KUNM’s Megan Kamerick speaks with two computer science experts about their work pushing elected officials to create privacy guardrails on artificial intelligence. In this two-part interview, Dr. Cris Moore tells us how AI algorithms and social media can be a perfect storm to spread misinformation on a massive scale. Later, Dr. Melanie Moses considers how a lack of transparency from technology companies could lead to loopholes when crafting laws regulating AI. 

Senior Producer Lou DiVizio interviews FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez about her first year on the job.  

Our Land’s Laura Paskus sits down with Pueblo Action Alliance Executive Director Julia Bernal to discuss the many types of liberation her organization seeks for Indigenous people and everyone else.
