Artificial intelligence governance in the Obama & Trump yearsAdam Thierer
This presentation briefly outlines how AI governance was being formulated in the United States from 2009 to 2020 during the presidencies of Barack Obama and Donald Trump. Although these two administrations differed on most policy matters, they shared a common approach to AI governance. Generally speaking, both administrations adopted a “light-touch” regulatory and industrial policy stance toward AI. Although both administrations highlighted potential areas of policy concern—safety and security issues, in particular—promoting the growth of AI sectors and technologies was prioritized over preemptively restricting them. “Soft law” mechanisms were typically tapped before hard law solutions. In this sense, AI policy in the Obama-Trump AI governance approach has been an extension of the governance vision previous administrations applied to the internet and digital commerce.

With the move to a more digital, mobile, and platform-dominated media environment people increasingly find and access news and information via platforms like search engines and social media. These have empowered citizens in many ways and are important drivers of attention to established publishers but have also enabled the distribution of disinformation from a range of different actors. In a context where citizens are often increasingly sceptical of both platforms, publishers, and public authorities, what do we know about the scale and scope of disinformation problems and what can different actors do to counter the problems we face?

“Permissionless Innovation” & the Clash of Visions over Emerging TechnologiesAdam Thierer
"Permissionless Innovation & the Clash of Visions over Emerging Technologies." A presentation created by Adam Thierer (Mercatus Center at George Mason University). It focuses on coming public policy fights over various emerging technologies, such as: driverless cars, the Internet of Things, wearable technology, commercial drones, mobile medical innovations, virtual reality, and more.
This presentation has been updated to reflect most recent version.
The Future of Innovation of Policy - Adam Thierer - Mercatus CenterAdam Thierer
An overview of the future of innovation policy and what governance vision will drive it -- the precautionary principle or permissionless innovation. (By Adam Thierer, Senior Research Fellow, Mercatus Center at George Mason University).
By CEO of EDEL Technology Consulting at IMANI Youth Event
Traditional media and bureaucratic restrictions are no longer walls high enough to deprive our society of accountable governance through youth activism. Technology offers the youths with innovative and multi-faceted ways to:
1. Voice out their opinions on government policies and issues of concern to their target audience through multifaceted social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Blogs etc. Good examples would be the "Dumsor March" in 2015, "Bring back out Girls campaign", “The Occupy Ghana Campaign” and many others.
2. Test government efficacy by making all elements and information associated to governance and government decisions accessible to both the government and citizenry such as figures and technical related to public projects for example, the recent "bus branding saga" etc.
3. Facilitate accountable governance in data collection and record keeping through data management systems
4. Simplify and make all elements and information associated to governance and government decisions accessible to both the government and citizenry through interactive websites and mobile applications.
TECHNICAL OLIGARCHIES 1
Technical Oligarchies in-relation to US Government Roles
September 16, 2018
Long-term implications of the increasing dependence on technical oligarchies (Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc.) on society, the economy or Christianity.
The government’s concern with technical oligarchy is their contributions to material economy. Even with low material economy, the technical oligarchy is backed by approximately 70% of the America population who are backing the technological innovation as compared to other industries, which is supported by the rest of the population (Collier, 2015). Today, tech employees likely keep companies to take a stand against government conflicts values. Comment by Albert Ball: Missing modifier after to. Comment by Albert Ball: You may want to rethink this sentence. The 70% also support the rest of the economy. It may be better to say that 30% is not supporting the technical oligarchy. Comment by Albert Ball: This sentence is not clear. It is also not supported by a reference.
The tech companies have dealt with several pushbacks because of the relationship between them and the government. For example, the government’s concern regarding Google suggests that the company’s artificial intelligence would be putting too much pressure on the state of safety within the nation. The technical oligarchies are considered as living bubble or leaving in their own world with little material economy (Keynes, 2018). The low material economy means that the government is getting low revenue regarding taxation even though the technical companies demonstrate high value. Comment by Albert Ball: What concern are you referring to? Comment by Albert Ball: Missing modifier after as
Another focus for the government concerning technical oligarchy is concentration of too much wealth among few individuals as compared to the material economy, which reflects wide spread income among many citizens. However, Technical Oligarchies argue that differences in percentage of activities collectively account for despite wealth where the taxman creates interest for the same (Elfring, & Hulsink, 2003). The oligarchies develop information networks for their earning through creating products for high level consumption as compared to providing direct employment for large number of employees (Elfring, & Hulsink, 2003). These oligarchies have little interest in expanding the white-collar jobs within the nation. Technical oligarchy allows wealth creation particularly among the young population, but wealth gap is high as compared to the rest of the industry. Comment by Albert Ball: Who says the government is concerned about this? Comment by Albert Ball: What evidence do you have to support this statement. Comment by Albert Ball: What evidence do you have to support this statement.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

But the deal was only supposed to be a transition, and control was supposed to be ceded to another private company or organization in 2000. ICANN has been fraught with infighting and delays, and the deal was extended to September of this year. The company has governed the creation of new domain names, such as .info and .name, and created more competition in domain name sales. It was supposed to develop security policies to protect the 13 "root servers" that are the heart of the Internet's domain system. These servers, positioned all over the world, serve as central directories so that every Web user can find addresses like microsoft.com and whitehouse.gov. If those servers were somehow knocked offline or attacked by hackers or terrorists, entire swaths of the Internet would be unreachable to most people. -- CBS News http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/06/12/politics/main511948.shtml
