Welcome to Event Horizon, the podcast that cuts through the hype and fear to bring you clear, practical understanding of artificial intelligence.

I’m Travis de Jonk — digital strategist, ethicist, broadcast journalist, transformation expert and long-time futurist. After 20+ years inside newsrooms, entertainment networks and public health systems, I’ve created this series to raise digital literacy and give you the truth about AI: what it is, how it works, and why it affects every part of your life.

In this episode:

✔ Why AI isn’t new — and why you’ve been using it for years

✔ The hidden motivations that built modern AI

✔ Why everything online is manufactured

✔ The difference between what AI is vs. what people think it is

✔ Why digital literacy is now a survival skill

✔ And what’s coming in future episodes — including “Is AI conscious?”

The Sydney Sentinel's Travis de Jonk explore's the week's top stories on sydneysentinel.com.au.

OUR SPECIAL GUEST ON THE SHOW THIS WEEK is Michael Williams - the artistic director of the Sydney Writers' Festival. We first spoke with Williams on the speakeasy last year in 2021 when he navigated Sydney Writers' Festival through the pandemic landscape to produce a brilliant 2021 festival. LISTEN to that interview here.

The Sydney Writers' Festival returns this year from 16 to 22 May 2022 - bigger, more engaging and politically charged than ever - with an equally bold theme: ‘Change My Mind’

Michael Williams joined us recently in the studio to discuss how the festival fared last year, tell us all about the exciting Sydney Writers' Festival 2022 program and to explain what the festival theme - Change My Mind - is really all about. He also gives us his event highlight picks that are not to be missed.
