In Tech We Trust?

In the wake of several high-profile events at the intersection of technology, privacy, encryption and national security, a nationwide conversation is necessary. Is there a balance between an increasingly privacy-conscious public who favor technologies like encryption, and security-conscious law enforcement agencies, who fear encryption is making their jobs exponentially more difficult in this Internet of Things era? In this event, we’ll discuss how policy could shape the technological landscape in the coming years.


 

Government & Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence has mostly been a technology encountered in movies and sci-fi books. But this year, the White House released a request for information about preparing for the future of AI, saying the real-world applications for it are endless.

Hear experts discuss the potential AI could bring to the federal government and what are some of the challenges and risks agencies would have to consider.

 

 

Emerging Technology

Today’s emerging technologies have the potential to exponentially change the future of government. What are some of tomorrow’s most promising technologies and the possibilities they hold? At this Nextgov meet-up, we chatted with leaders at the forefront of technologies like wearables, artificial intelligence, and robotics, virtual reality to hear about what they’re working on and how it might help solve tomorrow’s challenges.

Open Source

Nextgov reporters and editors hosted a contingent of experts, policymakers and advocates to discuss the White House’s recently announced open source software policy.

The source code policy aims to make 20 percent of the federal government’s custom-built software available to the public as open source software. Does the policy go far enough? Or — in risk-averse Washington — does it go too far?
