Narayanan: Misinformation is a social media distribution problem, not an AI generation problem
“To the extent it's a technology problem, it's more of a social media problem, really, than an AI problem, because the hard part of misinformation is not generating it, it's distributing it to people and persuading them, and social media is often the medium for…”

Narayanan: Public right to AI knowledge overrides private commercial interests
