If you know ARK, then you probably know about our long-term research projections, like estimating where we will be 5-10 years from now! But just because we are long-term investors, doesn’t mean we don’t have strong views and opinions on breaking news. In fact, we discuss and debate this every day. So now we’re sharing some of these internal discussions with you in our new video series, “The Brainstorm”, a co-production from ARK and Public.com. Tune in every week as we react to the latest in innovation. Here and there we’ll be joined by special guests, but ultimately this is our chance to join the conversation and share ARK’s quick takes on what’s going on in tech today.

This week, Associate Portfolio Manager Nick Grous and Director of Research, Autonomous Tech & Robotics Sam Korus are joined by Senior Editor at OnlineCasinos.com Ryan Butler. Together they discuss ESPN BET, and the deal between Penn National Gaming and Barstool Sports, and then Sam and Nick discuss AI’s impact on Global Warming.
