i want to bring in the program director of nisanit gregory. because sam is putting the onus on ask the public, trying to deduce is, is a deep thinker, is not a deep sake. he's putting the onus on the creator is serious. we can't expect the average person to be able to spot a dietrich. it's already hard and it's going to get harder. so there's a responsibility on the people who make the tools to create the products to make it as easy as possible for a machine to spot the manipulation and on platforms and video sharing sites to detect those manipulations and tell their users they've seen it. and then we can make decisions if something is malicious and to be careful or whether it's funny until after so, it's a brilliant insight by sam gregory who i know while his organization does incredible work, not only with regards to thinking about the folks at this information and misinformation in general, and he's absolutely right. this goes back to the point i was making earlier about, we need to build safety into the architecture of our information ecos

gregory: great. thank you so much. we are pulling from another question that was submitted during the talk. and that is about the attention -- given the complex dynamics of families now, how do we tell accurate history of african-americans of the age of freedom without romanticizing them? dr. hunter: yeah, i think that is a great question. because there is that tendency, or there can be that tendency and certainly some have fallen prey to that precisely because african-american families have been under attack. it makes scholars defensive in trying to sort of tell the story from the other perspective that is not being told. so, for me in writing this book, there are lots of moments that come up in the book where it does not look favorable to the individuals involved. so, i kind of embrace that. again, it goes back to that, to me, the idea of the complexity. so, not sugarcoating -- for example, the problems of couples, right? in writing about marriage and all the things that are wonderful about it and how important it wa
