How do we navigate a world where AI systems aren’t just tools, but active participants in our cultural conversations? This session explores the implications of AI becoming embedded in our daily communications, decision-making, self-expression, and societies.  From social media algorithms to conversational and generative AI, these technologies aren’t just channels for human interaction – they’re influencing and becoming part of the conversation itself.

Truth Collapse is the outcome of AIs eroding our ability to communicate, make decisions, and even understand ourselves. Noz Urbina, Founder & Omnichannel Strategist, Urbina Consulting, seeks to explain what it means, how it’s come to already be present in our society today, and the boundaries we need around AI technologies and their impact. And as we use and deploy AI, we have to make harder decisions than ever before about what we put out into the world.

We’ll explore

• How algorithmic systems have shaped society over the past decade and beyond
• Specific impacts on personal well-being, communication, and social stability
• Evidence-based analysis of AI’s effects on culture
• What we can do to move forward
