Welcome to Digital Digging, the podcast where AI and investigative research collide in what can only be described as a digital dumpster fire of possibilities. Hosted by Henk van Ess, a man who willingly handed his voice over to a machine (because why not?), we explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way we uncover, analyze, and inevitably freak out over information online.
Each episode unpacks everything from spotting AI-generated textsβyes, AI trying to fool youβand uncovering global secrets using open-source intelligence, all while featuring two AI co-hosts, Castor and Pollux, because whatβs a podcast without some virtual sidekicks? Think of them as the Alexa of bad advice, but with slightly more charm.
Weβll cover the latest tools, mind-bending techniques, and possibly even a few ethical dilemmasβbecause AI isnβt going to raise them itself, is it? Whether youβre a journalist, a researcher, or just someone who fears the robot uprising but canβt look away, Digital Digging is your crash course on the brave, new, and slightly terrifying world of AI in investigations. Buckle up, because the futureβs here, and itβs weird.
