Aviv Ovadia

Aviv Ovadia appears in Welcome to the ‘infocalypse’ as CEO and founder of the [[AIAndDemocracyFoundation|AI and Democracy Foundation]]. The episode presents him as an early voice warning about an Information Apocalypse where people cannot reliably trust what they see and hear.

His argument links AI Information Pollution to both everyday verification burden and institutional design. He says generative AI makes scams, propaganda, nonconsensual imagery, and persuasive fakes cheaper, while making verification harder for individuals, journalists, and public institutions. He also warns that generalized skepticism can become Reality Apathy, undermining commerce, governance, and shared reality.
