Amanda Silberling of TechCrunch joins Mikah Sargent on Tech News Weekly! An info-sharing app is creating a privacy, harassment, and security crisis for its users. AI-generated stories are infiltrating news sources. And everything unveiled at this year’s Made by Google Event.
• Amanda talks about an app called TeaOnHer that has exposed users’ personal data, such as driver’s licenses.
• Mikah shares how Wired and Business Insider recently removed published freelance articles on their websites after information was brought forward that indicated these articles were AI-generated.
• And Patrick Holland of CNET was at the Made by Google event on August 19th and shares his thoughts on everything unveiled!
Hosts: Mikah Sargent and Amanda Silberling
