Civil Defense Against Data Assaults
Admiral Mike McConnell, former director of national intelligence, says a catastrophic data breach is probably inevitable. Power grids, air traffic control, water treatment, personal and corporate finance: all are data dependent and all are vulnerable. So how do we prioritize where to start? And how do we shift the needle from “inevitable” to “preventable?”

How Good Can Technology Make Our Governments and Communities?
Over the past 10 years or so, a field has emerged to promote greater civic engagement through the use of technology. The effort involves civic technologists, government officials, funders, advocates, journalists and others, and it has emerged to address two important phenomena in the U.S.: 1) ever decreasing engagement in civic life, and 2) ever increasing power of technology to connect people for collective action.

Will Every Industry Have its Tesla?
An increasing number of companies refuse to follow the rules. Tesla is no longer just a car company; it’s a transportation, fuel and energy-storage company.

Innovating Our Selves
In 1995 Bill Gates wrote in The Road Ahead that we will all eventually have chips implanted in our brains.

Information Generation
Today, information is the business catalyst—failure to focus means second-tier status. The rise of new technologies is fundamentally changing the way we live, transforming consumer expectations and behaviors that in turn compel businesses—from medicine and education, to utilities and manufacturing—to redefine themselves in order to survive. What are the essential drivers that keep businesses relevant, notable and profitable in the Information Generation?

In association with the World Economic Forum Facilitators:
Internet Governance: Of, By and For the World?
Virtually all businesses are dependent upon the Internet, but current policies have not been designed to regulate and protect the vast amounts of processes and information that circulate there. As a result, many stakeholders are calling for new norms to find consensus among the myriad legal, political and business considerations. To continue to reap value from the Internet, a robust Internet-governance ecosystem is required across industries and countries.
The results of these discussions will feed into the high-level session at the Annual Meeting 2015.

Who Owns the Future?
Why didn’t the rise of network technologies bring great wealth to the world in the last decade? Instead of experiencing excellent financial health because of the efficiencies of digital technologies, those efficiencies are having the effect of concentrating wealth while reducing overall growth. How can we better apply these powerful tools to promote greater balance, clarity, focus and genuine human connection?

Cracking its code will allow us to better utilize our brains, and to drive the creation of better artificial intelligences. The applications span from marketing to medicine and education to warfare.
