In a world of misinformation, AI hallucinations and international cover-ups, the truth feels more elusive than ever.

Without a secure foundation of shared knowledge and institutions to support it, the basis of our society and culture is under threat. In this panel discussion, experts across technology, journalism and philosophy share their perspectives on the value of truth today. International correspondent Barbara Demick (Daughters of the Bamboo Grove), philosopher A.C. Grayling (For The People), Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales (The Seven Rules of Trust) and AI researcher Toby Walsh (The Shortest History of AI) share their insights.

Join Barbara, A.C., Jimmy and Toby in conversation with ABC Radio National’s Natasha Mitchell (Big Ideas).
