"We have a set of tools capable of generating fake images, fake videos and fake audios, and these tools have never been easier, cheaper or faster to use... Those attacked and damaged must fight on their own behalf with whatever tools they can find. Until the do-it-yourselfers get some regulatory help, 'fake' will remain a viable tool for those willing to distort reality for their own purposes."

"Automation and its closest friend 'AI' are not the apocalypse... It may be that planned automation can reduce some economic stress—maybe a lot of stress. The technology is ready. The companies are ready. But will the politicians support Operation Automation?"

Joe Biden's plan doesn't outline specific investments in technology sectors like artificial intelligence or machine learning.

Seeking Virtues in Virtual Reality Stocks
U.S. News & World Report
2017-09-26
A large part of virtual reality's growing pains may not revolve around the technology so much as the aforementioned price point... "Except for Google Cardboard (GOOG, GOOGL), it's way too expensive—today," says Steve Andriole, a business technology professor at Villanova School of Business in the Philadelphia area. "But within a few years, VR will be as affordable as smartphones, or cheaper. We can expect VR headgear to dramatically shrink in size and price, and eventually be embedded in fashion eyewear."
Oh Snap! Silicon Valley School Makes $24M Off of Investment
Associated Press
2017-03-04
St. Francis High School in Mountain View parlayed a $15,000 investment in the company that developed the Snapchat app into a windfall of at least $24 million, capitalizing on a unique venture capital fund set up by the school's investment-savvy parents... Few, if any other schools, have that sort of advantage, said Stephen Andriole, a professor of business, accountancy and information systems at the Villanova School of Business in Pennsylvania. "The only way to do this is through a personal relationship," he said. "The probability of success is quite low."
