About this episode

The conflict in the Middle East isn't only being waged by militaries, there's also been a surge of propaganda — much of it AI-generated — deployed to shape perceptions of the war.

While the White House has shared hype videos blending pop culture and video games with real military footage, one pro-Iran group has released more than a dozen AI-generated videos mocking US leaders, often Lego-style cartoons set to rap music.

  • Guest: Michael Richardson, Professor of Media at UNSW Sydney — and he co-directs the Media Futures Hub
  • Producer: Oscar Coleman
