About this episode
The episode discusses the surge in Facebook ad spending ahead of the 2028 elections and its implications for political accountability.
Description: Harvard Nieman Fellow, veteran journalist, and AI expert Jaemark Tordecilla took a snapshot of recent spending on Facebook ads and found national politicians alongside obscure councilors, foreign names, casinos, and pages disguised as news. What does it tell us a year before the campaign period? And what does this investigative experiment teach us about other ways AI can be used to exact accountability in government?
