The Internet Has a Trust Problem—Can AI Help Solve It? | Richard Kersey
Description
What happens when artificial intelligence can generate endless articles, comments, images, and opinions in seconds?
How do we know what’s genuinely human?
In this episode of Thought Atlas, I’m joined by Richard Kersey—an engineering leader, AI practitioner, and creator of Chirpper, a social platform exploring new ways to preserve trust and human authenticity online.
As AI-generated content becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish from human-created content, Richard argues that the future of the internet depends on building systems that prioritize authenticity, transparency, and meaningful human interaction.
Together, we explore:
- How AI is changing the internet
- The challenge of distinguishing human and AI-generated content
- Trust in the digital age
- The future of social media
- Human identity online
- Engineering for the AI era
- Authentic communities
- Information, misinformation, and critical thinking
- Why authenticity matters
- Building technology that serves people
This isn’t simply a conversation about artificial intelligence.
It’s a conversation about trust, identity, and what the internet could become if we intentionally design it for humans first.
