Most of us are working through our social distancing binge list. At State of the Net we brought together market analysts and streaming entrepreneurs to discuss the streamingwars.
During these times it’s obvious that Over-The-Top video streaming services have radically transformed how we watch TV and the economics of “television.” Disney+ is just the latest with Peacock and HBOMax on the way.
In case you missed it, watch the video featuring market analysts, best selling authors, entrepreneurs, and artists discussing what the revolution in streaming video means and what the future holds. Speakers below.
We’re thrilled to announce another panel at State of the Net on January 29. We’ve asked a panel of experts to look at the intersection of artificial intelligence and public policy. Deirdre Mulligan of UC Berkeley, Alex Rosenblat of Data & Society, Nicol Turner Lee of Brookings, and Mina Hanna of IEEE-USA join us talk about the policy implications of the rise of AI.
Policymakers continue to express alarm at the rate at which tech firms are incorporating AI into all facets of business, infrastructure, and government. While calls to slow down innovation are rarely effective, policymakers and policy experts are acknowledging the need for a careful examination of the impact of algorithms on all aspects of society and business.
This year, the conference will feature a number of high-profile speakers, including Deputy Attorney General Makan Delrahim, Columbia Law School Professor Tim Wu, FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, and many more.
In the last few years the conference has featured keynote speakers including Senators John Thune and Brian Schatz, Representatives Susan DelBene, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, and Anna Eshoo,FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez, Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell, United States CTO Megan Smith, FTC Commissioner Terrell McSweeney, Coinbase Co-Founder Fred Ehrsam, Privacy Advocate Max Schrems, and Department of Homeland Security Under Secretary Suzanne Spaulding.

We’re thrilled to announce another panel at State of the Net on January 29. We’ve asked a panel of experts to look at the future of cybersecurity policy in Washington. Faecbook’s most senior cyber security policy executive, Nathaniel Gleicher, will join Evelyn Remaley,* and other experts for an in-depth discussion of pertinent cybersecurity issues.
The past few years have seen both more and more dangerous cyberattacks, and the U.S. government is beginning to respond to emerging cyber threats. The Departments of Commerce and Homeland Security released a report to strengthen systems against botnet attacks last May. 2018 also saw an updated release of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which will be coming up on its 5th Anniversary this year.
Is it time to celebrate that anniversary or do we need something more? At the same time supply chain attacks are becoming increasingly prevalent. Our panel will discuss the current cybersecurity environment, how agencies can improve cybersecurity in government and in the private sector, and the effectiveness of guidance such as the botnet report and NIST framework.

We’re thrilled to announce another panel at State of the Net on January 29. We’ve asked a panel of experts to look at the future of work in America. The Senior Vice President of Military and Veteran Affairs for Comcast and the Secretary-Treasurer of the AFL-CIO join other experts to talk about solutions to labor disruption.
On November 26, General Motors CEO Mary Barra announced that it was cutting 15,000 jobs by saying “we will transform our global workforce to ensure we have the right skill sets to win today and in the future.” While GM is able to pivot towards its perceived future, the question remains on how the 15,000 workers will be ready for a similar shift.
With multiple stakeholders in the process, including governments, educational institutions, employers, and of course the workers themselves, adapting to the new economy will require incorporating multiple perspectives and opinions. The speakers on our panel “From lunchpail to laptops and beyond: Preparing America’s Workforce for Tomorrow’s Jobs” will examine the future of work from the perspectives of different stakeholders, and bring forth ideas for a common way forward.

We’re thrilled to announce several talks at State of the Net on January 29 regarding online speech and content moderation. GailSlaterfrom The White House, Daphne Keller of The Center for Internet and Society, and Ellery Roberts Biddle of Global Voices join other experts to talk about policy issues surrounding content online.
We’ve reached a crisis of trust in our society’s sources of information just as the lines between traditional media and Internet media have all but vanished. The Internet platforms are struggling to deal with a host of challenges in regulating offensive and misleading content. At the same time, the U.S. government remains hamstrung by the First Amendment to intervene directly. We’re assembling several panels of experts to discuss and debate the enormous challenges presented by social media expression and effective content moderation.

Cryptocurrencies are trendy now, but the State of the Net dealt with them way back in 2014 and 2015 with panels and a keynote by Coinbase’s CEO Fred Ehrsam. This year #SOTN2018 moved beyond virtual currencies and explored how the blockchain can be used as an authentication ledger for all sorts of purposes. If you missed our panel on “Blockchain Beyond Bitcoin: Authentication in a Post-Equifax World” the video is now available.
Our forward-looking panel discussed its growing use as a versatile ledger for all sorts of authenticated transactions beyond currency. Realtors are using blockchain to streamline real estate listings. Human resource companies are exploring blockchain technology to provide efficient access to employee benefits. Internet platforms are exploring blockchain to reduce advertising fraud and to keep out fake news bots and trolls. The applications are endless.
Two decades ago, Congress enacted the landmark E-Sign Act. It’s time to build on that, by giving legal recognition to information stored on blockchains. #SOTN2018@SOTN@Workday@JasonAlb
The 2018 State of the Net conference covered the most important policy issues facing the Internet today. Congressional and administration leaders engaged with stakeholders on issues such as digital inclusion, freedom of expression, trust & tribalism, broadband fragmentation, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and much more. As always, State of the Net is your first look at the new players and the new issues that will take center stage in 2018. Whether it’s artificial intelligence or cybersecurity policies, State of the Net is the best place to debate them all. The conference has been consistently lauded for its balanced blend of perspectives and its provocative thinkers. In an increasingly polarized policy space, State of the Net is the most important stakeholder gathering that brings you together with key people with whom you disagree (respectfully). That’s the point.
Keynote speakers have included Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein,Futurist Amy Webb, FCC Chair Tom Wheeler, UBER Founder/CEO Travis Kalanick, Dropbox Founder/CEO Drew Houston, Comcast NBC CEO Brian L. Roberts and many others. Find out more about our past speakers here.
State of the Net attracts over 600 attendees by providing unparalleled opportunities to network and engage on key policy issues.

In case you missed it you can watch the video of our conversation with Matt Lira (Senior Advisor, Office of House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy) and Nick Sinai (Venture Partner, Insight Venture Partners) at Monday’sState of the Net Conference. Led by Ginny Hunt (Director of Platforms, U.S. Digital Service), Matt and Nick forcefully supported innovative programs such as U.S. Digital Service, the Presidential Innovation Fellowships, 18F and other open data initiatives. If you missed this important discussion, we welcome to watch the video below. Here’s a recap in FedScoop.
About The Discussion:
The importance of innovation in government has become a bi-partisan consensus. Connecting government officials and their departments with top talent from the US technology sector has become paramount to keep track with the rapid pace of private sector developments. Most recently, congress sought to solidify already existing programs such as the Presidential Innovation Fellowship, with the TALENT Act of 2017 seeking to codify the provisions that established it.
But beyond solidifying the policies of previous administrations, what is the future of technological innovation in government? Will we be seeing more and deeper ties with the private sector or a more government driven approach? Join us at our Panel “Innovation.gov: The Future of Better, Faster, Cheaper Government” at State of the Net 2017
The incoming Trump Administration and the 115th Congress must grapple with two of the thorniest of Internet policy issues: Cybersecurity and Surveillance. We’re pleased to announced that we’ve assembled two expert panels on those respective topics at State of the Net on Monday. There is still time to register.
Leading the conversations on Cyber Security and on Government Surveillance will be:
ABOUT OUR PANELS
CYBERSECURITY UNDER TRUMP: STOPPING THE HACKS
From the recently announced Yahoo data breaches, the DDoS botnet attack on Dyn, the devastating Sony Picture hack in 2014 and the seemingly daily revelations of confidential Clinton Campaign staff emails, the danger and influence posed by cyber attacks has never been more disconcerting. As President Trump takes office how will his Administration, together with a Republican-controlled Congress, address the seemingly rampant hacking and intrusions that happen with unsettling regularity?
SURVEILLANCE REFORM: WHAT’S NEXT FOR GOVERNMENT POWERS?
We will look into how the new Trump Administration will work with Congress to address America’s government surveillance apparatus and its impact on security, privacy and commerce nationally and internationally. Did the Obama Administration do too much or too little in this area? How will Congress and President Trump’s Justice Department deal with the renewal or retirement of key provisions of surveillance section 702? What will happen to ECPA including cross-border data warrants for law enforcement? Should the new Congress explore establishing more comprehensive surveillance and law enforcement access framework in the years to come?
The topic of online behavior has seldom been more timely or more relevant. One wonders where America’s youth, who have literally grown up online, learn online social and ethics values. While there is widespread agreement over the need for robust rules of the road, the pipeline for that type of education remains elusive. How does our society guide youth to appropriate online behaviors? We’ve assembled an amazing panel of experts at State of the Net to grapple with this thorny topic on our panel “Strategies For Encouraging Ethical Digital Citizenship: Can It Be Taught?” A full description is below.
Leading the conversation will be:
ABOUT OUR PANEL
Today’s youth – tomorrow’s voters, workers, and leaders – have never known a world without consistent Internet access. The creators and creatives of today need the skills to discern and critically consider sources of information online and how their usage thereof informs their behavior.
But how does this generation learn the skills and rules of the road it needs to navigate cyberspace in a safe, responsible, and informed manner: From the digital immigrants that have come before them or from the digital natives that surround them? Are current efforts in teaching enough, or do we need to create new, comprehensive approaches to digital citizenship and media literacy?
We invite you join our panel of experts at the 13th Annual State of the Net Internet Policy Conference on January 23, 2017 at our panel, “Strategies For Encouraging Ethical Digital Citizenship: Can It Be Taught?” for a closer look at this crucial issue.
