According to a report from Inspector Cam McBride, the officer in charge of the Central Division, police need to develop a strong plan to handle “potential negative impacts on the community” around the site. McBride joins Mike now to discuss how the site should be policed and what the police service needs to ensure the site can run safely.

Jordan Peterson, who has been used in multiple Deep Fake videos, says the people creating them need to be stopped “using whatever legal means are necessary, as soon as possible,” because “it’s hard to imagine a more serious challenge to the sense of shared, reliable reality that keeps us linked together in relative peace.” Chad Jones, AI expert and founder/CEO of Push Interactions, joins Mike in our studio to discuss how the Deep Fake videos are made and whether we should be worried about being tricked by the video simulations.
