and darpa to see? sometimes you can get so bogged down doing what you are doing that there may be somebody out there or do you have the ability to go to m.i.t. or darpa or rand to say here is what we are thinking? is there some formal structure that brings in the best minds on a constant basis not investigating cases but like a resource? like darpa for the dod? do we have something like that in this area? >> i guess i can't say specifically as i said here. there's always a good idea to have smart people poking you in looking at you from a different vantage point. i know my folks with cyber communicate but i will have to get back to you. more is always good. people see things that we may not be able to see. >> maybe few can maybe the committee could do something to put together and i know director muellner brought in people from outside, some of the best minds and again when i mention the company of india they do also with regard to china and different groups and maybe a select handful to see what you a

it is hard to think of a better place to spend that money on darpa. the longest-serving darpa director said that seven out of eight of our projects were total failures. one out of eight includes the internet and life-saving drone technology. at theaid something beginning he said this is boring stuff. it is actually kind of interesting. it is interesting anecdotes of how people did things. have states even figured out the economy of the internet? it is in the tens of trillions of dollars. that is up from zero. thanks to people across the pentagon of the national science foundation and the private sector in silicon valley and everything else. is spectacular. there are plenty of others to be had. i support a regulatory regime and a tax policy that makes america more competitive. even now, in the ballooned economy we have. according to the washington -- according to the wall street journal, the household net worth -- $80.6million trillion. when i read that as a pool of capital, and then when i read in gizmodo, not on the cbo reenlist, that there is a new

startedistory of icann darpa startedthat and the internet.ton's administration had a move to create icann as an independent, private, nonprofit in season. -- institution. we coordinate these things. regard, we have done this job very well. it has not been down once in many, many decades. it is working very well. we ensure that stakeholders have a seat at the table. the stakeholders are businesses, government -- we have over 130 government thing on the committee. society, we have active organizations, academics, all of them sitting on an equal footing and making sure that these identifiers work. >> are there any competitors to icann? >> this role cannot be ordered by more than one player. managedthan one entity a key identifier of the internet, by nature, the internet will no longer be one that -- one net. at the heart of the matter is the domain name system. very few people appreciate that in order to resolve issues, there is a root system that make that work for the entire planet. in the room, all names are resolved to make sure that when sp

this darpa leadership can be changed only by human is a sheet of the penal system in the legal in a sea of society. many prisoners have no documents are some of the passport soviet style last year loan more than one thousand three hundred convicts received new identity cards engine or humane conditions are created for prisoners they can contract american prisons and women in penal settlement of the village gel gosh to our love to stay close to the newborn children also the convicted of an opportunity to continue their education and even earned money to compensate for damage or how the relatives working on fitting the national legislation to international standards continues recommendations of the commission on human rights are included in the draft of the new piano and criminal procedure code nevertheless problems remain still and soft. for instance one of the task is to achieve production of a number of converts in prisons by replacing imprisonment for payment mail. also it is necessary to create conditions for the life of the presents. there are seven institutions with more detentions

should we be thinking more about how to build on that darpa model? so as to assure that when we are in a mode where we are exporting, we are better equipped to do this. i would simply add on this trade issue, we have not even talk about energy, gas and oil, the exports and what that will be doing to those numbers. i would not prolong those numbers to provide the basis for too good, washington-based policies for growth in this economy. >> it is supported by the institute for energy research, a conservative leaning research group, with oil and natural gas under federal lands and water. this is 128 trillion, a statistic worth taking apart and criticizing and so on. this is what we owned and -- it is hard to think of a better place to spend the money on than dartmouth. the longest-serving dartmouth director, in its history, said, look. seven out of eight of our projects were total failures. one out of eight, a lot of the drone technology -- this was -- these were successes. he rankled me at the meeting when he said this is touring -- boring stuff. that i

companies like ibm google vicarious deep thought organizations like the department of defense nsa and darpa. china and israel want asi and it said as much. the european union gave a billion euros to switch project called blue but rain ruined by gary martin which is reversing the brain. he gave the people who think about ai risk. deep mind was bought by google for $400 million. the founders of deep mind and including shane legg who's been writing about ai for a long time before he became a millionaire said a condition of this the sale will be that google sets up a board for ethics and safety governing their technology. this is a giant milestone. they are technology and that advanced ai is risky and they are also setting a very high bar for future purchases. so once these guidelines get out the ones that deep mind is creating with google once those guidelines get out there will be something like the guidelines for dna and i'm going to get to that in a minute. the industry needs guidelines and it just happened two weeks ago. all of us thinking about these issues were just gob smacked and pleas

he is named the co-recipient of a grant from darpa is part of the white house research and development institute and is developing tools to combat money laundering through the department treasury. john stauffer's profession or of english at african-american studies at harvard university. he lectures on the civil war era and social protest movements and photography and is author and editor of lenin books with 60 articles including two books that are national as sellers. his most recent book is the battle, the republic. a lincoln prize finalist in the best book of 2013. his reviews have appeared in time wall street journal and numerous scholarly books. he has been a consultant to to hollywood films quentin tarantino's changi and a screenplay based on david jones. he did a pbs documentary -- with those backgrounds i think we are all looking forward to an incredibly exciting discussion and the floor is yours. [applause] >> our goal and assist to have a conversation and you are all part of this conversation but before we launch into this informal discussion you know we often have to or at l

observation, but what the internet was and -- listen, the initial internet was the defense department and darpaion, but it has become obviously something that is part of our daily lives, global commerce. and, it is this change -- >> that we control. >> angela, angela. >> let chris finish. >> this is not something that i'm personally concerned about. you're seeing businesses, who are clearly in favor. i'm proud to say that i'm pro business on this issue. angela is anti-business. >> oh, stop lying, chris. you're lying, chris. >> we're out of time. chris and angela, you guys sort of reversed roles here. thanks very much. >> no, no, no. good to see you. >> nice yellow, angela. >> she's hoping for sunshine, too. >>> have you reached billionaire status, gregg? >> no. i'm a long way away. >> dreaming of it? >> i've given up the dream. >> how is your bank account looking? do you know there are more american millionaires hitting the streets right now? >> that's right. >> and we're going to tell you how you could become one of them. if you can't earn it, maybe you can win it. because megamillions is goin

utilize within our common fund to tackle projects which would be particularly appropriate for the darpa have a project manager who identifies a bold, innovative strategy to tackle a really important problem. and then has the freedom to go out and recruit those who might contribute to it. small companies, individual academics. put this together into a team but not sort of taking the maybe sometimes year or two that it might, to go through the usual grant solicitation and award and not always getting exactly the team he hoped for. so this puts the project manager in a much stronger position to scope this whole enterprise. and for darpa that's been pretty successful model with things like gps and internet and a few other things that turned out pretty well. we are very pleased to be able to have the authority in the $39 to tackle projects of that sort. one that we're thinking about which has just begun to emerge as a really exciting scientific opportunity is the notion that one might be able to design technologies that could both record and send signals to the peripheral nervous system that

. >> i understood, but do we need to bring in an mit and darpa to see? is there something, sometimes you can get so bogged down doing what your doing that there may be something out there, or do you have the ability to go to mit or darpa or rand to say here's what we're thinking? is there some formal structure that brings in the best minds on a constant basis, not on an investigative cases, but like a resource? like darfur for the dod, d. have something like that in this area of? >> i guess i can't say specifically as i said you. it's always a good idea to have smart people poking you and looking from a different vantage point. i know my folks who focus on cyber intelligence communicate a lot with great lines in this private sector but i'll have to get back to to the one who we are working with particularly. but more is always good. people see things that we may not be able to see. >> maybe the committee could do something to put together, and i know director mueller brought in people from outside, some of the best minds, bring in come and again when i -

and that became darpa which is the defense advanced research project agency which is the subject of my next book. [laughter] shameless plug. yes. [laughter] good, yes. >> you said that the russians returned their scientists back to germany again. was there a reason for that? >> they couldn't stand the german scientists. >> [inaudible] >> that's an interesting, i never thought of that. that is a very interesting question. but they sent them back to germany, and -- but the fascinating part, we had a program, the cia's program was called operation dragon return. and we scooped up anyone who had been in the soviet union working on their weapons programs and, you know, used them as intelligence assets. yes. >> is it true that alan dawes was, like, sort of a front man and it was actually ryan hart concern. [inaudible] who was setting up the cia? >> great question. i write about galen at length. he was at camp king, and, you know, he was run by -- galen was the head of hitler's soviet, you know, program on the soviet union intelligence program. and he became a maw your player -- a major playe

i think that the chairman talked about darpa. tom clancy had written a novel about an airplane that was going to crash and the united states capitol. we need to make sure that our folks at the cia and the fbi are thinking 10 years ahead of the terrace and hiring them organizations that are not anything that entrepreneurial that if they had a best area. >> there was a feeling particularly one that maupin was killed but somehow terrorism is no longer as great of a threat. but it does continue to be a very serious threat to us. the insider onset of home-grown radicalization has continued to grow in this country. you cannot allow your guard to be let down and you have to be very cognizant of what a real threat this is and continues to be. and it's a lot easier to fight a decentralized enemy. and we have a terrorist threat within our own country. so if anything, the type of work that the fbi is doing is more important today as certainly as important as it was before 9/11. >> i have a whole series of questions. and i think you really k

>> guest: so icann, really, the history of icann started from the time darpa started, and under president clinton's administration there was a move to create icann as an independent, private, nonprofit institution that is responsible too coordinate these -- to coordinate these things globally for the planet. and in that regard, we have done this job very well. the dns has not been down once in many, many decades. it's working very well. and we insure that the stakeholders have a seat at the table and guide us along the way. and the stakeholders here are businesses, governments -- we have over 130 governments sitting on icamn committees -- we have civil society, we have technical organizations, we have academics. all of them sitting on equal feeting and making sure they share the planet well. >> host: are there any competitors to icanning? >> no. this role cannot be performed by more than one player. if more than one entity manages to key identifiers of the internet, hen by nature the internet will no longer be one net. at the heart, for example, of the domain name system is the root servi
