The Political Beat: Expert talks AI, TikTok; the good and the bad

CHARLOTTE — From TikTok to artificial intelligence, 2023 has been the year of tech headlines.

Social media is rapidly evolving, and it can be hard to keep up for many of us.

Meredith Dean is a social media expert and a digital branding and career consultant.

She is the CEO and founder of The Dean’s List and is joining The Political Beat this weekend to talk about some of the biggest social media stories in the news right now.

“So with AI, there are a lot of positives,” Dean said. “And there are a whole lot of negatives. And what I’ve seen with some of these scams with artificial intelligence is that if you’ve ever done any kind of voiceover work, or you’ve ever recorded a video with your face. The scammers are able to take your voice and use it against you when it comes to calling your family.”
