In this noir-styled episode of Wired Together, Jason and Melanie follow the clues through today’s AI headlines and hype. We examine how recommendation systems really work, why “wake words” sometimes misfire, and how to protect loved ones from voice-clone emergencies and deepfake deception. We separate the dark web from the deep web, talk through guardrails like the EU AI Act and U.S. enforcement via the FTC, and spotlight AI’s upside—from fraud detection to medical diagnostics. The verdict? New tech isn’t new trouble; it’s another chapter in a long story. With a steady moral compass, practical habits, and early education, AI becomes a tool—not the villain.
