Just did a Q&A with a great group of students from Boston College Biz School (visiting 10+ NYC tech companies in 2 days). Lots of great Qs, and great swag (👧🏼❄️ will get the notebook and I’ll eat those bitcoins) #BCSTT (ps: and give @mary__holt an A+!)

The inventions that come out of AI brings up the complex legal question: who, or what, is allowed to claim patent rights on the product? #bcstt https://t.co/fsZe7msIOr via @WSJ

Much media attention has been dedicated to both the weak performance of tech companies like Uber and WeWork, but some of the apocalyptic public reactions may be overlooking the market. #bcstt https://t.co/KGYjREqJVL via @wired

@ElizabethBerkh1 This is certainly a blow to Libra and other cryptocurrencies. Adoption of new forms of exchange certainly requires the enthusiasm of entrenched financial networks - I cannot imagine that the majority of people are ready to switch over to cryptocurrency wallets just yet. #bcstt

Skills relating to AI usage do not only apply to entry-level positions - they are also crucial to the roles of project managers. It will be interesting to track how AI continues to spark innovation at the project manager level #bcstt https://t.co/jhXYM9MPml via @techrepublic

Platform markets have an overabundance of "moving parts", making them harder to grow. Can you think of any additional challenges outside of those mentioned in the article? #bcstt https://t.co/rrX0jAZzUN via @WSJ

@georglliott I wouldn't imagine Uber's investors are all too happy with this news. The company has more pressing issues in their structure and liabilities, and they should focus on how they plan to grow properly before transforming into a one-stop shop for all possible consumer needs. #bcstt

The onus in tackling climate change is on the private sector. This article presents three important strategies for transitioning to sustainability - what others can you think of? #bcstt #d

The Silicon Valley Formula often echoes Facebook's motto of "Move Fast and Break Things". This whirlwind week has shown the drastic negative effects of this philosophy. #bcstt #d https://t.co/NJ1bjcr2i6 via @WSJ

Dunkin' Donuts was just sued by New York because of their poor cybersecurity. More and more, high-profile companies are being held accountable legally from public institutions because of data breaches. #bcstt https://t.co/COibq8oZwI via @WSJ

I recently published a blog post about Vertoe, an exciting new platform in the sharing economy. It helps solve the age-old issue of carrying luggage around, and designs for trust in the process. #bcstt https://t.co/5sXz54VIE1 via @bcsheatechtrek

Bias in AI is one of the most important issues facing the landscape of emerging technology right now. How might we avoid being mis-labeled and mistreated by AI in the future? #bcstt #d https://t.co/K3LheKnZrL

SoftBank's famous Vision Fund is currently struggling from distress thanks to freely taking on risky investments. This certainly shows the risks inherent in the VC space. #bcstt https://t.co/yrdSMwpvWC via @WSJ
