The number of connected machines in our world has already surpassed the global human population (7.2 billion at this time), nearing 15 billion. It is projected that this number will be over 3X larger than the global human population by 2020. Internet connected machines and systems will continue to grow to nearly 75 billion by 2025.

So it is no secret that “IoT” is happening: From Alexa and Siri to self driving cars and predictive maintenance, chances are that you interact with a connected device on a daily basis. If you think about it, your smartphone is the swiss army knife of IoT devices vis a vis the App Store.

Yet as ease of use and deployment improves and accessibility increases, certain questions are raised and their answers have important implications: Who is responsible if something goes wrong with a self-directed machine? How can we ensure that these devices aren’t being used against us by bad actors? What is the government’s role in determining the answers to these questions?

Join us on Wednesday, November 7th at 6pm at Coalition Spaces to take a deep dive into these questions and more.
