1:00 pm
progress. but it's important in a post 9/11 world that we have a secure southern border. the world -- i'm afraid to say we're not -- i think in some ways, it's much dangerous than it was pre9/11. i remember my first visit to mexico when i was the attorney general. i visited with my counterparts in law enforcement in mexico. we had some very candid discussions about the challenges that exist with respect to mexico and immigration coming into america. they were very candid in saying their nightmare scenario was someone like -- from al qaeda coming across the southern border and committing another 9/11-scale attack because they knew what the repercussions would be. the united states would shut the border off. that would devastate their economy. so they really were worried about border security, really worried about threats to the united states coming from the southern border.
1:01 pm
my reaction was, if they're that worried about it we should be that worried about it as well. i think focusing on the border is something that's very important. i think the economy -- i really do think that we need to have an immigration policy that understands and complements that promotes our commerce within the united states. we need to understand that immigrants are a very important part of our work force. i think that legal immigration can improve our economy can improve productivity, can result in increased jobs which will make jobs available for me citizens here in this country. i think there needs to be more of a focus -- immigration policy should be more focused on our economy, driven by our economic needs. we should have visas for skilled workers. we need -- in today's economy
1:02 pm
and today's security situation i think those are the two drivers of what our economic -- what our immigration policy should be going forward. >> what about a so-called pathway to citizenship? >> well, i think -- pathway to citizenship is something that's politicized. i think it's one of the main issues that has made it difficult to achieve any kind of legislation to make any kind of progress on this issue. the truth of the matter is, the reality is is that many of the people that come into this country do not couldme to obtain citizenship. they come to this country to pursue a better life for themselves and for their family, their children. so becoming a citizen is not the primary objective. obviously, i think if the united states were to say, we're going to make everyone a citizen everyone would say -- these immigrants would say, great, we would like that but that's not why they come here. for me, that would sort of be a
1:03 pm
secondary objective in terms of if people have been here a while, if they don't have a criminal record, have paid taxes, they can provide for their own support, then i would have no objection to citizenship in the long run provided, however, that they not be able to obtain citizenship in front of those people who have been waiting patiently outside our borders and have followed the law. i think it would be unfair to them and send a terribly wrong signal if we provided citizenship to these folks who have been in this country, came to this country unlawfully. if we provided citizenship in advance of those who followed the rules i think that would be a tremendous mistake. >> in your chapter, mexico's impact, you and your co-author write, the american people may resist the change if necessary, but america's leaders must commit to long-term thinking and explain why our efforts with mexico are good for america. additionally, our political leadership will have to be tactful when dealing with
1:04 pm
mexico. our southern neighbor is a sovereign nation and rightfully proutd of its heritage and nationality, demands for reform by outsiders will certainly fall on deaf ears. we must keep in mind that some of mexico's problem are unfortunately to some degree our problems and like wise what is in mexico's best economic interest is also usually in america's best interest. anything you want to add to that, explain? >> i'm not sure i have anything else to add than i firmly believe that. as i said earlier people come to this country, migrate into this country because they are in pursuit of a better life, better economic conditions and better opportunities. if, in fact that were the situation in mexico, i think we would have less unlawful immigration. we try to be realistic in the assessment of what can be done.
1:05 pm
politically, we have to be careful about, for example spending resources, spending dollars in mexico. many american citizens would rightly say, why are we doing that? we have our own problems here in the united states. we need to focus on those problems. we would have to deal with that. as you just read, mexico is a proud country. i think there's a long history of not resentment but they have a great deal of pride in their own country. they would only be so much that we could do. we have a great deal of cooperation today. we need to build on that and see what we can do to help with their economy, to share resources, to share intelligence, which is ongoing today. there are things that we can do. but i think more needs to be done. mexican authorities, if you ask them, they have an understanding that there are some institutional improvements that should be made in terms of the legal system, the criminal
1:06 pm
justice system. there are things that i think would improve conditions in mexico. and i think we have some progressive leaders forward thinking individuals in mexico. these are things that we worked on. i'm assuming and i hope that those efforts are continuing today. >> who is your co-author? >> david strange is a good friend of mine from texas. he's an immigration expert. i am not an immigration expert in terms of knowing the technical aspects of the immigration act. i felt it important to have someone joining me on this project that could -- who had that level of expertise. so david has that -- is an immigration expert. he is currently taking a leave of absence from his practice in texas and is now a student at georgetown pursuing nationalm/
1:07 pm
security law degree. so i've enjoyed working with david. he provided the appropriate level of expertise on this issue, which when you talk about immigration, you are talking about a lot of immigration experts around the country who know immigration act very well better than i do. i felt it important to have someone like david on board in this effort. i think what we have here is a product i think that's fair, i think it's balanced and hopefully it will stimulate some discussion. it will make progress in a comprehensive legislation going forward. >> former attorney general alberto gonzalez is our guest, attorney general from 2005 to 2007. prior to that, white house counsel, a texas supreme court
1:08 pm
justice, general council to governor bush in texas and currently dean of belmont university school of law in nashville, tennessee, where -- from where he joins us. eric in maryland, republican line you are first up. please go ahead with your question or comment. >> caller: i want to say on the new immigration law i don't see how you are saying they have to pass a background check and all that stuff. they have broken our law by coming into the country illegally. if i break the law, i go to jail. they will be rewarded with citizenship. it's a slap in the face to everyone who has gone through the process properly. i don't see how it's fair or even remotely fair to everybody who has to sit and wait and these people because they break the law and have established income and a place to stay, that they get it before everybody else. >> judge? >> well, of course here in this country anyone who breaks the law suffers consequences for it.
1:09 pm
often times it's a fine, sometimes going to jail. our proposal would require they pay back -- they pay a penalty for the fact that they did come into the country unlawfully. i don't know why we're giving them any kind of preference in that situation than anyone else who breaks the law. again, they would be required to pay a penalty pay back taxes. and my preference would be that they not be afforded citizenship before anyone else who got in line and followed the rules. so i don't see how in fact, this would be called amnesty, because many people say, well, this is amnesty. but amnesty is a blanket forgiveness by sovereign government to a group of individuals. that would include granting a pardon. and granting a pardon is an act of forgiveness without exacting a penalty. that's not what we are proposinge
1:10 pm
ing here. people who say this is amnesty, they politicize the issue. in reality, that's not what we're proposing at all. >> from years 2000 to 2009, alberto gonzalez writes over 10 million immigrants acquired lawful, permanent resident status in the united states. you go on to write -- my pen fell out and i lost the chapter that i was going to -- it was a change to the visa system so that people cannot over stay their visas. what kind of changes would you like made? >> here is the issue we have. the numbers vary. i think experts will disagree about this in terms of the number of people here unlawfully today. 30%, 50% came to this country lawfully under a valid visa. what happens is they are in this country, they like being in this country and their visa expires and they don't want to go home.
1:11 pm
so they stay in the country. in an unlawful status. we don't have the neck nichltmechanisms to deal with visa over stayers. this is a very difficult issue, because what it requires is it requires there to be better communication between universities and the government between employers and the government. it requires better -- i think a better interaction between the u.s. government and the home countries so we can identify -- we have a better idea and better track, people that are here on visas and when they are set to expire. perhaps make them -- sort of inadmissible status in the event they over stay their visa. at that point there is no longer any chance whatsoever that they can come back into the country once we find them no chance they could become a u.s. citizen. what we have to do is explore ways to really discourage visa over stayers. that's a significant part of our
1:12 pm
problem. let me also mention that the fact that such a large percentage of people that are here unlawfully came here through a valid visa means that there's limited utility in border security. the fact that people talk about a fence that may be fine for preventing some people from coming across our southern border. but it's not going to do a thing with respect to the over stayers. this is a very -- in my judgment a very important discussion in terms of making progress in solving the high numbers of people that are here in this country in an unlawful status. >> wayne is in harrisburg, pennsylvania, democrat line. go ahead. >> caller: president bush, the cia and obama, as a citizen, i wouldn't care what they did to make sure that the american
1:13 pm
people are safe. and about immigration when you have two professional people that know what they are talking about, they will never come to a discussion. so what i say is let the illegals be legal. i don't care how many. i don't care if they take people's jobs or whatever. the economy is bad. so let them come in. that's all i have to say. >> i respect that viewpoint. i disagree with that viewpoint. i think if you are going to be in a country, should be here under some kind of lawful status. every sovereign nation has the authority, there's no question about this, every sovereign nation has the authority to determine who is in their country, who is within its borders. i think that's perfectly appropriate, particularly when you talk about immigration policy can impact your economy and how immigration policy can
1:14 pm
quite frankly affect your security position. i respectfully disagree with the caller's viewpoint. i think it's important that anyone in this country should be here in a lawful status, whether as a citizen naturalized citizen, lawful permanent resident, whatever. i think it's important that people that are here are in some kind of lawful status. i think one very positive offshoot of that is once you are here in a lawful status, i have no problem at that point with getting a driver's license being entitled to benefits not all the benefits of being a citizen. for me it's easier to reconcile this notion of having someone in the country be entitled to benefits like a driver's license if they're in some kind of lawful status. the notion that would you have someone not a lawful status walk into into a government office and get a driver's license, doesn't
1:15 pm
scare with me. i think it's important to have them in a lawful status. >> tom you are on. >> caller: yes. it's not related to immigration. it's something i wrestled with for 20 years. hold political prisoners and the laws don't extend beyond our borders, could you explain to me how general noriaga is in a prison in the country? >> i had a hard time understanding your comments. i think you were having a hard time understanding how the general is in prison in this country. honestly, i'm not familiar with the specifics of the confinement. i'm not in a position to respond to your question. >> let's move on to john in iowa, republican line. >> caller: thank you so much. i very much enjoy c-span and
1:16 pm
look forward to it every morning. i'm honored to speak to mr. gonzalez. he was talking about international law. my question comes back to, should it have ever happen to a high-ranking military officer or high-ranking cia agent in afghanistan were to be captured and have to endure these enhanced interrogation techniques, would we recognize that as being lawful? would that be okay? would we scream torture if that happened to our people? >> well, of course, the big difference that many people lose sight of the fact is that i'm hopeful -- i think this would be the case -- that our people would not have engaged in war crimes, would not have killed innocent civilians, would not have beheaded people. they would be entitled to additional protections. that's the main difrngsference. it would give us more moral
1:17 pm
authority to raise objection about the treatment of our citizens. from my perspective, that's one very important difference in terms of our position, our legal position, our moral position to raise objections and with respect to al qaeda for example, raising objections to the way that someone was treated. >> you write in your book of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants presently in the u.s., we support placing those who are eligible and without a criminal record into temporary lawful status after they pay a fine and back taxes. we do not oppose their becoming eligible for permanent lawful status if they learn english and american civics and pay taxes, provided that those who follow the law are not disadvantaged. we also support providing relief to young people brought here unlawfully by their parents.
1:18 pm
a couple of executive orders that the president has signed, the dreamers a couple years ago, and then the recent one, his executive action pretty much does this, doesn't it? >> it does. but, of course part of the challenge or part of the problem of executive action is that it is temporary. it can be undone by the president, of course, and can be undone by next president can be undone by the congress if it passed a law that is signed into law by the president. my concern with what president obama has done and certainly with the most recent action is that it came following an election in which i think the american people send a strong signal about what they wanted to see, the level of cooperation they wanted to see between the president and the congress, which hasn't been very good. i think we all understand and agree with that. so rather than allowing the new congressional leadership to deal with this give them an opportunity to deal with
1:19 pm
immigration, the president comes out immediately and says, i'm going do this through executive action. i have given them long enough. i think the timing was really sort of a slap in the face. i think what i worry about is that in giving relief -- in giving temporary relief to three to five million people, it made it more difficult to obtain the real objective which is a comprehensive, permanent, long-term relief to people. so i think from that perspective, i think what the president did was short sighted. and i think it was a mistake. the other thing that i worry about what the president did was the repercussions of taking executive action. i think many people believe that the level of children coming up in central america, i believe it was last summer, it was motivate motivated by the notion that here in america we don't enforce our immigration laws. there are unintended consequences when you take executive action without focusing all the other components of immigration
1:20 pm
policy. so for that reason, i think it's a mistake. finally, i think the action is short sighted. short sighted from the perspective of democratic lawmakers, because at some point, we will have a republican president. he will wield the executive pen. he may wield the executive pen on a program or policy that democratic lawmakers may believe are very, very important. this does set a precedent. this is really -- this is more than about immigration policy. this is about the institutional prerogatives of the elected branchs of government. who should decide who is our immigration policy? should it be the president or should it -- beginning with the congress and with the law and then that law signed -- that bill becoming a law signed by the president? that's a very important dialogue a very important discussion. from my perspective, i think we are better off if our immigration policy is based upon
1:21 pm
a bill pacessed by congress and signed into law by the president. >> barbara is in chicago. >> caller: hi. >> we're listening. go ahead with your question or comment. >> caller: i'm interested in his -- the two subjects. >> barbara, i'm going to put you on hold. you know the rules. you've got to turn the volume down on your tv. otherwise, we get a delay and we get feedback. somebody will talk to you. nash is on from charleston south carolina. hi. >> caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. how are you doing? >> go ahead. >> caller: i want to quickly -- you said people don't come here to become citizens. there are people who are leaving to come here to have children,
1:22 pm
take the children away where they become citizens at 18 or 21 years when the children become adult. isn't that the way of becoming an american citizen? isn't it time to make that constitutional? i think -- i believe every country has a right to protect the nation. everyone should be free to come to america. >> what was your process for immigrating to the u.s.? >> my process? >> the process you went through? >> i went through due process. >> how long did it take you? >> caller: i went through my wife. >> through your wife. through the family connection? okay. thank you. alberto gonzalez, any response? >> i'm not sure that i understood all of nash's question or comment. obviously, we have a constitution. it's clear that if you are born
1:23 pm
here you are an american citizen. that's from my perspective. that's good policy. if we don't like it if the majority of people don't like it in this country, obviously, we can try to change the constitution. i'm not sure i understood specifically his question. >> i think he was just making a comment that he had gone through the process essentially. that's how -- every country has the right to protect its own borders. >> no question about that. every country is sovereign. that's one of the aspects of being a sovereign nation as i said earlier is to determine -- being able to determine who is within a country's border. we do have a process. that's why i do believe it's important that whatever we do with the folks here unlawfully that we don't disadvantage those who have been waiting in line, who have followed the rules. i think that's very very important. this notion of instant citizenship i think it's not the american way. on the other hand i think we need to be realistic about the
1:24 pm
fact that we cannot deport 11 million people. we talked about this during bush administration administration. i remember having conversations with a team of experts getting together and decides whether that was realistic. think about how poorly the government does other functions. this is not something the government would be capable of doing. even if we were successful, in my judgment it would devastate certain industries. farming, construction. i don't think that's the right way to go. the right way to approach is to determine who is in fact -- who in fact can contribute to our economy. who has not committed a crime. who can pay a penalty. who can pay back taxes. for those kinds of folks and we need them in this xhupcommunity, they're not a danger to the country, we put them into temporary legal status. that's the right way to go. >> barbara, go ahead. >> caller: hello. it's interesting that mr. gonzalez is very interested in
1:25 pm
law and the american way. if he is so interested he is absolutely violated the american way and law. since he wishes to punish anyone who has broken the law, he should lead the parade. he is one of the most evil enablers of this whole torture business that is now being widely exposed. >> judge gonzalez? >> well, i respect the caller's opinion. i'm not sure how to respond to that other than i know that i worked -- i know that i worked with a team of dedicated lawyers in whitehouse at the cia and other agencies working hard to ensure we provided a framework so that we didn't violate the law. president bush was very clear in his directive that we would not engage in torture. was there a way to collect information that would be consistent with our laws? the lawyers provided a
1:26 pm
framework. whether or not the agency decided -- would make the decision to move forward with that framework, we know now that the agency in some cases exceeded the requirements, the guidance given by the department of justice and there have been and should be consequences with respect to that. am i saying that the bush administration was perfect in the way it executed the war on terror? no. it was not perfect. much like we have imperfection today with the way that president obamacarerys forth on the war or terror. this say tough business. sometimes when we are dealing with a brutal, ruthless enemy you know you have to take strong measures. those measures should always be consistent in the judgment of the lawyers with the -- with the constitution and with the law. sometimes you make mistakes. that's the very nature of the -- i think the cia director, john brennan acknowledged that yesterday. >> i will read something from
1:27 pm
your book. conservative and compassionate approach to immigration reform. i would like you to expond oun this. the republican party has hurt itself because of the harsh way that some republicans have spoken about immigration reform. >> i believe that's true. i think that one of the benefit -- george w. bush had a way of connecting with people. he had a way of especially connecting with hispanics. part may come from the fact he was a former governor of a border state. the message, the messenger and the tone is very, very important, in my judgment if you want outreach if you want to reach the hispanic community. that doesn't mean you will have total agreement with the policies. but someone like george bush was able to somehow connect with the hispanic community. some of the rhetoric that i hear from the right i think is very%dm unfortunate. absolutely no compassion
1:28 pm
whatsoever treating them as the worst of the worst criminals and that they should be removed immediately, even though that is impossible in my judgment. i think it's the rhetoric has been extremely harsh. we need to tone down the rhetoric. we need to acknowledge that these are human beings that we're talking about. most of them have families. they came into this country to pursue a better life just like our ancestors did. like the ancestors of these republicans. we need to just not lose sight of that. i'm not suggesting we allow people into this country that we provide instant citizenship. but in deciding this policy and moving forward with comprehensive immigration reform, we need to do so with an understanding of both, that we are a nation of laws but we are also a nation of immigrants. >> brian is in michigan on our independent line. good morning. >> caller: good morning.
1:29 pm
i hope i can keep on one subject. most americans are not prejudice and we don't look at the harsh harshest line. what we don't understand about our government and people is this. what you are saying you use the word sovereignty earlier. that word is not being used too much anymore. are we seen as arrogant americans who are in debt? we have made a lot of mistakes that we keep making over and over. have decided that mexico even though a great country, even though -- you look at the demographics and where they are as far as latitude goes they could do a lot more than they are doing. they need these fine people. get rid of the corruption in their country so that they can be a sovereign, strong country. when you say that we're dispassionate are some on the
1:30 pm
right are hard line, no we don't want to give up on mexico. let me end on this. you have one industry and you are in charge of our law enforcement in this country. you know you have a cruise ship industry. i have sailed. i see fine cruise ships that are flagged from liberia and other countries. we know that this is not right. why don't we shift the -- this is one idea. ship the cruise ship industry over to mexico. there's one simple idea. >> that's brian in mixchigan talking about immigration reform. >> i'm not sure that i understood all of the points that brian was getting to. if he is suggesting that i believe we should give up on mexico, nothing could be further from the truth. i think we ought to try to find ways to help our neighbor. they are our friends. we ought to be helpful to them and to the extent that improvements can be -- can occur in mexico, including dealing
1:31 pm
with corruption rampant there. we have our own corruption here in this country. but to the extent that that can be accomplished i think you will have more successful economic policies in mexico come forward. i think that will be the benefit of not only mexican citizens but ultimately to the united states. >> next call comes from timothy in west virginia, republican line. >> caller: thank you. my question is with regard to texas enhancement law. they do have enhancement laws that force those who have committed misdemeanor crimes of the same nature more than three times into felonyies which carry a state prison sentence from two to ten years. i understand a lot of illegalefc immigrants that have come over here have come over here more than three times. are they still subject to texas enhancement law being one of the border states? can you explain more the
1:32 pm
separation between the federal aspect of it? i understand they want to grant them amnesty. but the separation between federal and the state doj regulations and laws for those of the border states. >> i disagree with one component of i think what you are saying in terms of granting amnesty. i'm not sure who is suggesting -- i'm not aware of any responsible republican -- >> coming to csis. my name is jim lewis. i will be moderating this event which is entitled enabling the internet of things. we have a strong panel. one of the republicans we're doing this project here at csis is in thinking about -- every year we think what should we look at? the internet is changing radically as new technologies and new software change how
1:33 pm
people will interact with it and how machines will interact with each other and how people interact with machines. the internet is going to be very different in a few years. it's on the path to that. the internet of things is part of that. right? you always get some number when you go to it the events how there are -- in 20 years there will be 50 billion. there are more devices than people. it's about twice as many devices as the entire population of the world. there will be profound social political and economic affects. what we have been thinking -- the panel will touch on this. a set of problems. first problem for us is, how do we extract the full economic benefit from this change? this is something that i have been thinking about since i first learned to -- unwillingly to program a computer. this software stuff can make things easier.
1:34 pm
how do we get the full economic benefit? second, how do we not get in the way of inknow vags? if you think back to the start of the internet we didn't regulate, we didn't have rules. we let things happen. in the large part because we didn't know where the market was going to take us. that gives more credit to the people who did it and having foresight than is fair. you don't want to make assumptions about what are the things people and companies will choose to use and then regulate based on that. that would be what i call the european error. another problem is what do we do with all the data? right? we already know that there's more data than people can deal with. there are technologies to deal with that data to make use of it, data agoóp gags is an important part of the internet model. it's something we will think
1:35 pm
about. one of the things i think my initial thinking is, all data does not have the same value. sometimes you see privacy schemes that say anything generated by a machine that a person owns is also pii. i don't think that's necessarily right. i don't care if you know what my car's tire pressures are. you can get yourself into fun knots. i have been asking officials if myuñ cookie -- if my refridge rater uses cookies, will it have to notify me. the answer is yes. we want to think. how we treat data. one size does not fit all. a bit of science fiction. the panel doesn't have to talk about this. in looking down the road, how are wem&÷ going to interface with the internet of things? how is it that we will -- i like to -- you have the jack in the back of your head. that's probably not going to happen. but it could. how will we interface? it will probably be some more
1:36 pm
powerful kind of -- something like siri, a vocal command. it may not be. we don't know. looking down the road, we have a lot of issues before us. even more issues we have a lot of=lfé opportunities. that's kind of why we're doing this. let me introduce the panel in the order i have them. matt is the deputy division chief of communer science division. he promotes)várong cyber security practices, metrics. i have known matt a while. i'm grateful he is willing to come and speak. hillary cane from toyota, has been at toyota for two years. was on the hill. did a lot with the committee with the staff director for the committee on technology. some interesting things to say about what toyota is doing.
1:37 pm
smart cars are one of the favorite iterations of internet of things. i'm looking forward to your remarks. mark chief solutions architect worldwide public sector amazon. he leads the people who think about the solutions that amazon will lose. he does@s@o architecture for both government and private sector customers. thank you for coming. and finally, jeff green the director of government affairs for north america senior policy counsel? i thought my title was bad. jeff, we all -- many of us know jeff from his time on the hill. he did escape and go to it's the sponsor of this project and this event. we are grateful to them. jeff comes out of a background
1:38 pm
with homeland security and cyber security. some of our panelists will -- i don't know if it's matt or jeff on what the n-stack has been doing. i have talked about as much as i should. why don't we just go down the row and have each of the panelists talk? then we will open it up for questions.88 malt matt, do you want to start? >> thanks, jim. my name is matt. i'm from the nationala)r institution of standards and technology a technology agency under the u.s. department of commerce. we are one of the many both u.s. government organizations and>ó÷ organizations kind of worldwide that are conducting research, development and looking at technological needs that need to be developed understood or( standardized to fully realize some of the points that jim talked about around the internet of g4fq÷things. fostering innovation and
1:39 pm
understanding and deriving the knowledge that we need from the large data sets that will be generated from the internet of things. as a technologys are focused on standards measures metrics and the technologies that are needed in order to allow for this to occur. we are anafor agency under the u.s. department of commerce. as such, we are reallyb! focused on the economics and the innovation and how this can be used to assist and spur new growth and u.s. industries. we are very interested in the standardization requirements as well as the r;underlying measures, metrics metrics here. we0pl look at it through the entire architecture of it. right now, there's a lot of work. we're in this skrum'1s going on right nowézph laser discs, vhs, blue ray and
1:40 pm
dvd all being developed at the same time around what is and what are the standards to be used under the internet of things. it's going to take a while before this standardization allowing full scope of interface settles out. in the meantime, our role is to work with u.s. industry in the standards bodies and advance the interests where we can in order to acceleration the use of adoption of this. we look at the internet
1:41 pm
1:42 pm
engine or somewhere where there's a knowledge derivative an littic engine that will/ fl@ allow us to make decision based on policy from the data being generated. that was a fancy way of saying, my fridge will tell me when i'm low on peanut butter if i told it i carefqiy about peanut butter, because i have a peanut betutter policy. i will be alerted by the sensor which derives data from the physicals@úf infrastructure. that will derive an actionrts]ñ which will be me buying more butter. that's a simplistic example. this can explodekéj out which scale for efficiency economies understanding, conservation of resources. there's different areas where this is being used to great advantage. some areas areé$fkñ preventative maintenance.
1:43 pm
i was an an airplane this mç!@÷ morning. my aircraft has multiple'$"/ sensors on it deriving physical data off the aircn< rame everything from oil pressure temperature, speed, m@onvibration. that's all being(f5 pumped into a back end cloud so that rather than waiting for skwenled maintenance on they something seems or starts to look out of place, the air frame manufacturers can ground it and conduct effective, preventative maintenance and do it with açb knowledge base that conserves time of the repair people as well as the resources that go into it. all the way through to smart agriculture, which is the other case where we can apply water or pesticides or spot plant rather than applying to fields overall. conserves resources, reduces pollution, cheaper overallpqoñ and yields greater yield. those are just some examples. we have concerned about system

1:45 pm
talking -- the industrial internet of things, which will be an important part of productivity growth. that's different than hillary will talk about. ,m7t" not. >> maybe not. who knows. i probably don't need this microphone, because i have a very loud voice. i will try to not scream into it. if i'm making anyone deaf, raise your hand. i will make note there is no question that vehicles are going to be a partg of this internet of things as we move forward. the thing that i struggle with and where i wanted to start right now is talking4k form that's going to take. there's thisjk l internet of#)fht things idea gets thrown out there a lot. as it applies in vehicle space, there's questions about what that means. i will give you examples of how we're trying to slice and dice it. you have -- you could have internet of things in the vehicle in the context of the multimedia systems that are now becoming ubiquitousg6f+in vehicles.
1:46 pm
that's when you get in, newer cars have the screen. you can ac7çe)q nternet. you can check your open table reservation. that's an interface in your vehicle. i personally don't think of that as thef[brnet of that's a new sort of mobile platform. right? the same thing as your smart phone. but some people think of that as the inter bñnet of things because it's in a thing. then you can haver]a[ serious here. we talk about the policy implications. they are different for that versus some other forms of internet of things. you can have what matt was talking about in the context of an airplane in a vehicle. sensors that are monitoring what's going on on the vehicle, trying to detect anomalies or issues that need to be addressed. that information being transferred to somebody who can do something about something that's happening in the vehicle. that's your industrial'pw internet-type idea. you have internet of things in
1:47 pm
the context of vehicle to vehicle communication and vehicle to infrastructure communication, which we are just now on the cusp of seeing. this is technology that's been deployed in the world but is now very close to coming to be in the united states. this is primarily going to be used in the early days for crash avoidance. the'èñ ability of vehicles to be able to detect a possible collision threat and take action the idea here is, more than 30,000 a year in the united states alone lose their lives in car accidents. which is a humongous amount of people if you think about it. it's equivalent to two jumbo jets fallingq1dí out of the sky every week. right? it's a lot of people that are dieing every year in car accidents. what we're finding is, we're not able to make the gains we want to make in the area by addressing what happens to a vehiclew;á a crash occurs.
1:48 pm
where we will make gabes is preventing that crash all together.h6ó this vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure communication is going to enable that. toyota's vision is that eventually that sort of communication augmented or sumpplemented. the car itself will take action to avoid it. it's a combination of the sensor based collision avoid answer technology you are seeing now with increased automation, coupled with this environment. we canyq5z do a 360-degree crash avoidance system on the vehicle and prevent the crashes all together. i wanted to draw this distinction. for the first category, i do see that as internet of things. the sensors detectinga6#9n problems within the system, i see as the internet of things.
1:49 pm
there are a variety of -- i know we will delve into this later. a variety of policy issues implications. i'm not going to talk about the first category which i'm saying is not internet of things in terms of policy issues. we see a lot more concerns about privacy in that space than we tend to see in the other areas. we certainly do have growing questions and concerns abouta privacy of drivers and consumers, people seem to think that they -- i'm not saying this is not correct. seem to think that they have a greater entitlement to privacy in their vehicles than they dodub'x when it comes to their smart phone. it's an extension of their home. it's very weird. it's there. it's real. we hear it. we feel it. consumers tell us, the car is a special place.=b÷a@r(t&háhp &hc% there are obviously growing cyber security concerns.
1:50 pm
those tend to be with the coupling of the communic;@ ]÷ @f cf1 o with the automation. if there's the ability for someone to hack into your car and take over the electronic operation of your vehicle, tell the of the vehicle, tell the car to brake or make a sudden left turn, you could have a bad scenario. bad things could happen. there is a unique -- well, okay. i say unique and then not unique and then i will stop talking. it's a uniqu2!jfu)h liability, right? people seem: theek to the concept of smart cars. i would argue it's unique to automation in general when you have systems making decisions rather than a person making a decision./?q& who is responsible if something goes wrong. in the context of a self driving car, if the car brakes when it is not supposed to or accelerates when it is not supposed to and something else happens, who is responsible for that? there are questionsc-ñ around that.
1:51 pm
we have a lot of concerns in the regulatory space. i can be honest that thedl# government is slow -- not nhtsa, but the department of transportation is generally slow on where the industry is headed. there are some who would argue there should be no regulation. i think everyone would think that was great at toyota or any other auto company. the reality is thej is never going to be unregulated. that same sort of tendency to regulate will hold true in that environment. if that's the case we need the department of transportation to be moving quicker. i have a lot< answer questions later.cbá.s.xéiz

1:55 pm
one of the that's new is people are storing things when they don't knowbb@ñk whether or not it'sv" useful. that could be a property of big data. in the past we didn't want to waste the money on data that we didn't see immediate use for.úcyky ?bíñ people don't have that attitude. the!jrqñ attitude of28xz commercial concerns and government. storage is so cheap, let's store everything.(jwñ later on the data we are storing hasw powerful properties and unique capabilities.iy ì(t&háhp &hc% but then what we turn intob'áb p r(t&háhp &hc% data scientists. we explore data, look for correlations.%jl@@r(t&háhp &hc% we hope there is causation./piatjóñ internet of things is playing into that..4t allowing you to -- let's store the data for three months and run a project to see if there is

2:08 pm
it won't be probably the last definition, but at least a definition. the government can use it to determine how it is now using iot and how it will use it in the near future. through that, look at what with interconnections and interdependencies they have come up with and come up with contingency plans for managing the inevitablezmmçx threats, vulnerabilities that will be spread around through them. another short-term recommendation is a government-wide task force to plan u.s. government strategy for dealing with iot, identify gaps practices and technologies and update aware withness and fq["táraining internal to the government and public efforts someone who guys a -- buys a÷yç fitbit doesn't think about the keks the device has. i have one in my pocket. i see two6ms÷ up here. there is security in connecting ]l1= it to my phone. maybe not as much. people want to think of the data being passed around.]

program and will be working with a serious challenge. the slow adoption of technology, you talk about the0é oñé0vvesh rate of the vehicles and that is |bjú+ing to be a longer period. you talk about the policy issues relative z÷ to citizens and their concern about privacy. that+++ potential? you were mentioning, what are the needed skill sets like jobs and education pipes that need to be set up for this?
2:55 pm
i'm looking for a psychology data scientist. there is not a lot of them out there. what is the futurure iot repairman look like? there is potential for a large infrastructure shift to occur. at a much larger level than just deploying a set of sensors and looking at the data. >> i have to say something since you brought up the security cloud. like any system you can misuse the cloud platform. they will tell you they can have more in a large scale utility than they can ever build for themselves. they can have 100 or 1,000 servers in a datacenter somewhere. we are operating an internet
2:56 pm
scale. we reach out all the time and say there is something you need to know about. when we hire a security expert the amount of server that is the skills impact is way larger factor of scale than when you hired that same expert. the use of the systems and it's not an industry plug that is a way of doing computing. we believe that the security experts in the domain or within the application or application or agency can they can write automated tools because everything the infrastructure is programmable. there is no more people racking and stacking and there is not that weekend where someone cross connects with the jack between the developer work station and the server to see. that can't happen. in general i think we are going
2:57 pm
to get more secure systems when we use large scale platforms. you can misconfigure and misuse them. there is responsibility to not configure them improperly. the actual structure itself, this is a big win. the an lytics that you get from all that data. we are seeing patterns and we are doing an lytics on large scale patterns that are not to the users. that is the safety of the entire community. i think cloud is not the security. it will be a win. >> maybe we will start with the questions in the back and move up front. >> hillary i think you described it as a concern about people worried about their data being shared or collected and misused or abused. with the things being ideal from
2:58 pm
your car to a bridge you drive over to the street corner how do you address the concerns from a perspective or a public image perspective from all this data being collected or shared or used to return to the consumer and the citizen? with a lot of these devices they won't have the touch screen like a smart phone and you can't collect or deliver notification about their data being shared. how do you work around that? >> that's a good question for all of the family. >> i don't know that i have a unique answer on it. it's interesting. one of the things i have been grappling with and it's a distinction -- i don't know if it's useful, but it's a distinction. to me this element of choice and consent and that sort of thing, it may have more relevance in those things of which you have
2:59 pm
no choice. or those things where you have a choice versus the things where you do not have a choice. even then is it anonymous or aggregated or identifiable data? for us we are grappling with it as an auto system, is it data that is identifiable for the most part and not for the most part, but entirely. if it is aggregated it was not part of the calculus. there pieces of vehicle data collection that are going to be optional to you. if you want to be a probe on the wave system, you can choose chb. if i want to wear a fit bit i choose to versus some where there is not a choice. i don't know if it's useful, but it has been something i have been focusing in on. >> thinking back, a lot of it
3:00 pm
starts with the education that we were talking about earlier. i bought a fit bit and i didn't think about all the places that that data would be. i don't really care who has the data and how many steps i take but we quantified self last year that looked at the data and all the different places and the different vulnerabilities that we go through. when you start getting into other health characteristics and who knows how they will be used. until you have people being aware of it and raising concerns. it will be hard to get traction to come up with solutions because there is not going to be that outside force driving it. people need to understand even what they are giving off with their phone. who has read an entire thing when they clicked
