AI technology has been rapidly progressing, leaving some to question if they too, might be an AI. This could have devastating consequences in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, creating a nightmare scenario for those involved. The internet can be a dangerous realm, making it hard to differentiate between what is real and what is not. There have been a spine-tingling number of advancements in financial technology in recent years, with major investors opting to put capital into many startups across the globe. The social media sphere is constantly shifting with many stories emerging on the news desk. Some states like Montana are trying to ban TikTok due to their worries about private data being collected by the Chinese government, while Florida’s governor already announced his run for president on Twitter. This followed a fake Pentagon attack story posted by a verified account, causing mass confusion.
There are some ways to combat this, with TechCrunch hosting the City Spotlight: Atlanta event on June 7th. This gathering will involve Ryan Glover discussing celebrated fintech company, Greenwood, and a live pitching competition, with the winner bagging a free booth at TechCrunch Disrupt. Humanoid robots are also evolving, with companies like Figure, Apptronik and Sanctuary AI creating robotic figures that look eerily human-like.
Starting a crowdfunding campaign may not seem like a challenge, but there are some important aspects to consider to avoid failure. Noted backer of hardware projects, Mark Harris, was brought in to investigate one high profile failed drone campaign and discovered a lack of competency when it came to getting the product into the marketplace combined with optimism. On the other hand, Nuwa Pen have just launched their Kickstarter campaign and despite not having the same model available that was featured in January, still have varying degrees of success.
In conclusion, AI technology is as horrifying as it is a force of progress, while there are numerous startups combating the depth of data being collected online. However, it is essential to read up on your venture thoroughly prior to launching a crowdfunding campaign.
