🎙️ AI Innovations Unleashed — AI in 5
Episode:When AI Goes Rogue: Firings, Delusions, and Algorithmic Faceplants Host: Doctor JR
In this five-minute episode of AI Innovations Unleashed, Doctor JR breaks down recent, real-world examples of artificial intelligence going confidently off the rails.
We start with growing concerns from U.S. state attorneys general and researchers about AI chatbots reinforcing delusional or harmful beliefs — including a wrongful-death lawsuit that has intensified calls for stronger safeguards around conversational AI.
Next, we explore how algorithmic management systems are reshaping the workplace, sometimes with alarming consequences. From delivery drivers terminated by automated systems to companies walking back aggressive AI-driven staffing cuts, this segment highlights what happens when machines make employment decisions without meaningful human oversight.
We wrap up with quick but crucial updates: McDonald’s pulls an AI-generated holiday ad after public backlash, journalists push back against flawed AI tools in newsrooms, and new research reveals how often AI chatbots still get basic news facts wrong.
The takeaway? AI innovation is accelerating — but accountability, verification, and human judgment haven’t caught up yet.
Stay curious, stay skeptical, and welcome to AI in 5.
