9.1 - Truth: AI and Research

AI is changing how people think about truth and how they fact-check information. While AI has immense access to information and processing power, someone with a bias had to train it—and someone with a bias uses it. Grok, ChatGPT, and others may not be as reliable as one might think, but of course, you were thinking that already. But is scholarly consensus any more reliable?

In today's episode, Sam, John, and Ron begin a new series on truth—its ability to be defined, discovered, and known—and how AI enters into that conversation.

So welcome to 2026 and the quest for truth on the After Class Podcast.

Can you handle the truth, eh?!
