Start Something with Oren Etzioni

The Start Something series features intimate conversations with some of the most successful entrepreneurs and leaders in Seattle’s innovation ecosystem. Oren Etzioni, a professor emeritus of computer science and engineering at UW and entrepreneur, founded the nonprofit TrueMedia.org as a free tool that leverages AI to detect political deepfakes online—a critical part of the conversation leading into the first presidential election since generative AI went mainstream. He’ll join investigative tech reporter Katherine Long of Business Insider for an expansive discussion of misinformation hazards emerging in this election cycle, the responsibilities of creators, and the power of AI in fueling innovation.
