• 1-2:30pm ET: Digital China: China’s Plans for Cyberspace & the Digital Economy

Around the world legal frameworks are failing to keep pace with technology. Nations are struggling to secure consumers’ privacy and conflicted about how best to manage the effects of powerful new technologies like artificial intelligence without stifling innovation.

Is regulation necessary, or can voluntary frameworks suffice? Where are the current points of failure in our legal system? Where are the strengths? What responsibilities do technologists have? What should policymakers avoid in developing new regulatory efforts? What are the consequences if we fail? How can policy catalyze innovation?

The American Bar Association Standing Committee on Law and National Security, New America, and Pitt Cyber host a discussion of the widening gap between coding and codes. Former US Attorney David Hickton, known for his groundbreaking cybercrime and cyber espionage indictments, will share his view from the front lines of enforcing existing laws, after which an expert panel discussion will discuss the issues raised.

Net Neutrality and the Economy: Investment, Jobs, Consumer Protection

Net Neutrality and the Economy:

LIVE at 2:00pm EDT, June 21, 2017. Presented by NewAmerica.org and InternetAssociation.org.

Net Neutrality and the Economy: How the FCC’s Net Neutrality Rules Promote Investment, Create Jobs, and Protect Consumers.

The Federal Communications Commission’s 2015 net neutrality rules were a landmark achievement for consumer rights online and the United States economy. Whether it’s large internet companies, up-and-coming digital platforms, or small businesses that rely on online services to reach customers, nearly every company in some way uses the power of the internet. The net neutrality rules, which prohibit broadband companies from blocking, throttling, and creating online “slow lanes,” are crucial for economic development, job creation, and serve as a democratizing force for communication.

The FCC’s recent decision to move forward on a proposal to repeal the net neutrality rules brings an urgent need for civil society, consumer advocates, and companies large and small to fight to retain the rules that were secured two years ago.

Without the net neutrality rules, a small number of broadband companies would become gatekeepers of the internet economy and control how every American uses the internet.

FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn will give opening remarks. Panelists include representatives from the business and public interest communities who will discuss the economic benefits that stem from the net neutrality rules. New America’s Open Technology Institute and the Internet Association present this two panel discussion about the importance of net neutrality for consumers and small businesses.
