Part 1 AI Labels, Trust, and the Future of Creative Integrity
Should we label AI-generated content—or is it already too late? On this episode of Smart Speakers, Shane Hewitt, Jamie Ellerton, and Lindsay Broadhead tackle the rising tension between convenience, creativity, and consumer trust in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.
From Instagram cabins and Uber Eats bots to AI in music and visual art, the trio debates what counts as real, what still requires a human touch, and whether labeling content is enough to preserve meaning. Is transparency the bare minimum, or are we losing something deeper?
It’s a conversation about art, ethics, tech, and trust—because knowing how something was made might matter more than ever.
Part 2 “Who Cares?” and Pipeline Politics: Decoding a Slip That Sparked a Storm
When a political leader mutters “who cares?”—is it a slip, or a signal? Shane Hewitt is joined by Lindsay Broadhead and Jamie Ellerton to unpack the communications fallout from Mark Carney’s headline-making moment, and why words still matter in modern politics.
From blunders and branding to pipelines and pragmatism, this Smart Speakers segment explores how politicians build—or break—trust. The team also weighs in on Carney’s approach to energy and why his pivot toward pipeline pragmatism may be rewriting the political script in Canada. And finally, a flash round on feminist foreign policy: was it ever real, and what’s the risk in dropping it?
This isn’t about the soundbite—it’s about what the public actually hears.
