Reboot For ConnectionVictor RiparbelliSynthetic media is one of the most exciting developments in recent years. It uses AI-driven technologies to partially or fully generate video, voice, images, or text.

Unfortunately, as with any disruptive technology, certain bad actors will choose to misuse or even abuse synthetic media for malicious purposes. The dangers and fear of misinformation and deepfakes are real. With that in mind, what does the responsible application of synthetic media look like?

However, to reap the benefits of data viz, you need more than a strong desire to become a data-driven business (something most companies want). You need to take the essential first steps and stay proactive throughout the journey to see the results come to life (something mo...
