The Center for Strategic & International Studies is hosting a discussion on the opportunities and policy challenges created by the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT).

Panelists will discuss new opportunities that IoT provides across different sectors from more efficient energy management to self-driving cars, and efforts by industry and government to address privacy, security, and safety challenges.

Hilary Cain

This is the inaugural event of a CSIS initiative to explore the opportunities and challenges that accompany the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT). The project aims to foster dialogue and debate around the benefits and policy challenges created by the growth of embedded and interconnected computing devices that deliver critical services, mediate our reality, and change the way we live. Additionally, it will investigate implications for privacy and identity, security challenges, and avenues for public policy response.
