The Death of Trust: From Central Banks to Deepfakes – Why Belief Is Collapsing in a Synthetic Age
Welcome to Episode 007 of Toronto Talks: "The Death of Trust."
In this episode, Ash and Sophie ask a disturbing question: What happens to society when we stop trusting the very systems designed to guide us?
From central banks revising jobs data after policy decisions… to global institutions faking economic metrics… to AI-generated deepfakes that mimic your voice and hijack your perception—this episode explores the collapse of credibility across finance, governance, media, and tech.
🎙 Topics include:
Flawed and delayed government data
Statistical manipulation in public institutions
Deepfakes, voice clones, and synthetic media
Why trust is eroding… and what we can do about it
