How Do We Measure “Better”? – DTNS Live 4965

The initials DTNS in a multicolored 1980s style with the word LIVE underneath in white on a black background. Social Media and Misinformation are often presented as two sides of the same coin, but what does the data actually say? Andrea Jones-Rooy is here to break it down for us. And surveillance technology used to monitor warehouse workers is being introduced into the office workplace but does it actually measure anything useful? Instagram looking into the idea of launching Reels as a standalone short-form video app. And OpenAI announced GPT-4.5, its latest and largest AI model, available as a research preview.

Starring Sarah Lane, Robb Dunewood, Andrea Jones-Rooy, Roger Chang, Joe.
