By now you have probably heard about them or maybe you know all about it, but deepfakes are an amazing technology! They use an AI to continually run passes on an image or to create a face from scratch. Typically, people use this technology to place a famous celebrity's face on their own or something like that. Basically, the AI can replace your face and make it look like you were that famous person in the picture or video. This has a lot of benefits because an AI can be used to do all of the hard work instead of animators or artists in a movie production! But there are of course downsides to it as well.

The world's top technology and business leaders gather this week in Yerevan, Armenia for the 23rd World Congress on Information Technology. WCIT is organized by the World Information Technology & Services Alliance, the Consortium of ICT associations of 83 countries representing 90 percent of the industry. Running for 40 years, the WCIT is one of the oldest and most prestigious ICT events in the world that brings together CEOs, investors, policy makers, government officials, academics, and technologists to discuss the current state of the industry as well as where it is going. This year, WCIT has focused its attention on the Power of Decentralization: Promise and Peril. During the congress, held from 6 to 9 October at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concert Complex, ICT leaders will explore how information and communications technology (ICT) is transforming the world and our lives, both for better and for worse.

Just occasionally, Alán Aspuru-Guzik has a movie-star moment, when fans half his age will stop him in the street. "They say, 'Hey, we know who you are'," he laughs. "Then they tell me that they also have a quantum start-up, and would love to talk to me about it." "I don't usually have time to talk, but I'm always happy to give them some tips." That affable approach is not uncommon in the quantum-computing community, says Aspuru-Guzik, who is a computer scientist at the University of Toronto, Canada, and co-founder of quantum-computing company Zapata Computing in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Delivering that kind of responsive experience is not only possible, it's here today. Digital Home Service, powered by Oracle Cloud, taps into the power of machine learning, Internet of Things (IoT), and predictive analytics to give providers a cloud-based weapon in the war for media and entertainment industry consumer loyalty. It's safe to say that no one likes waiting for the service technician to get new TV service set up. The technology behind Digital Home Service can eliminate this part of the consumer experience entirely. In its place is a self-serve set-top box setup guided by a user-friendly mobile app, intelligent chatbot, and, if needed, live video support.

Picking up steam in 1997 with Intel opening of a microchip factory and an $800 million USD investment, Costa Rica has since blossomed into a key tech hub in Latin America, according to an article from Nearshore Americas. But leaving the landmark Intel investment aside (the factory is now closed), the country is fostering growth through government spending in the space, high public funds devoted to education and tax-friendly technology parks that attract investors and talent from around the globe. With a population of five million inhabitants and 51,000 square kilometers, the number of companies in the country has reached over 546 IT companies, 3,447 manufacturing (including medical components), and performed 12,281 various commercial activities by 2018. This activity generated over 300,000 jobs, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Census. One of the major fields in the current technological revolution is artificial intelligence (AI), of which a high amount of development is occurring in Costa Rica.
