Bot Armies, Dead Internet, and Misinformation Farms with Amil Khan

With endless bot armies infiltrating social media feeds and harnessing the algorithm to control narratives and public opinion, our media system is becoming increasingly polluted.

How long will it be before the internet is officially “dead,” where more comments and views are bots than human?

Our conversation this week is with Amil Khan, a former Reuters foreign correspondent and BBC investigative journalist with over two decades of experience in media and communications.

Amil is now the CEO of Valent, a firm specializing in countermeasures for organizations under threat from bot networks and disinformation campaigns.
