what would you say is the value of darpa to those who say the u.s.s behind on military technology -- who say the u.s. is behind on u.s. military technology need because dod has been too focused on long-term solutions? this gets back to that dynamic tension between readiness and modernization. >> i would say darpa has developed solutions that when -- went directly into seal there is stuff they developed that is in ukraine. >> and we don't talk about that a lot. >> we can't talk about it. >> there is a deterrence factor in terms of what we reveal and what we conceal. that is not always intuitively obvious to the casual observer i would say. ok. with request for the u.s. government ownership of ip being prevalent in recent contracts, how do your departments intend to incentivize commercial investment in research, development and evaluation. >> what is important for industries to understand -- i was on the other side. i was in your shoes before. if you design a product that has a modular open architecture, the government can iterate the latest software a

arpa does for biomedicine as well as darpa for technology. cancer, diabetes. when jill and i launched the cannermoonshot we released arpa-h. and using vaccines to kill cancer cells and attacking how a tumor changes over times so doctors can adapt treatments and stay ahead of treatments. and existing drugs that can target scientific mutations. imagine clinical trial that bring innovation to all communities. a nationwide data system allows us to learn from more patients and doctors. and research silos. and want to share information. all these are being pushed through by arpa-h with $400 million to end cancer. arpa-h set its sights on a big idea calling on researchers to pioneer research to make it more precise. and remove the tumors the first time without harming healthy cells. compare that to the day. cancer surgery is an incredibly procedure. takes the best surgery surgeons in the world. it steals time. steals away hope. our family knows about this. the surgery happens and you have to wait a week or more to see if the tumor is removed fully and the unknown is

you might notice a certain rhyming similarity to our arpa brethren, places like darpa, a rpae, arpah. those organizations were stood up to do high-risk, high-end reward research to avoid technical surprise. iarpa has the particular mission of being directed at the intelligence community. we are really interested in doing research projects that have the potential to give the u.s. intelligence agency overwhelming technical advantage. perhaps surprisingly, the work iarpa does is largely in the open. we really want to work with the broader community, with peoplek outside the intelligence community, and understand what work is going on, and that means that we fund research in other countries and we really want to just figure out who the best people are and what their technology enables. as for greatest hits, my own background is quantitative science -- and we were one of the founders of quantum information science. a lot of the work, goodwill's work in quantum advantage, ibm, companies like i nq, was funded by iarpa research. we do work in biometrics and facial recognition, trying to reall

this was public darpa's great work.n tesla meaning elon spacex. there's been a lot of talk along the reason has tesla exist today is because of government loan. yeah you know mean he goes on about the government i'm like whoa do you just on that point do you have a position should we adopt, you know, say a more danish standard or an israeli standard about how the government takes back some of the profit? oh, i think we should have. i think we should have taken more. and in tesla, i don't know why we didn't i don't know why we don't. it's ours, by the way. you know, every every bit of innovation was initially started. i think the government is more involved in basic research and stuff. they have this there's this trope now that only technology can be innovative. well, i don't know. the government's been. yeah, you know it's, so it's so exhausting to listen to some people just constantly. iwhen is it when the when the the right wing the ones that hate government all the time, they all do now. but there was a group, the te

he has had numerous roles at rnd and at darpa including special assistant to the director.e brings operational expense having retired as a lieutenant colonel in flynn b-52s. with that i will bring to stage dr. honey. [applause] >> thank you, general walsh. thank you for the warm welcome and thank you for being here today. i am honored to have you introduce me. i am happy to have the chance to speak to this crowd. as we approach the end of the government's fiscal year, i would like to take this opportunity to talk to you about the importance of modernizing our defense of science and knowledge enterprise as well as address some of the challenges we face in doing so. more specifically, i want to highly the programs we have established the past few years to greatly speed the process of prototyping, experimentation, testing and fielding new programs of record. have heard some the missions already doing this conference. well on the surface some may sound similar, the keystone programs are very much complementary and not duplicate of. through these efforts the dod is much more pro

that works and uses technology that was developed by darpa and others, that is essentially, effectively, receives nominations of potential synthetic media and then we do work to effectively review that. and ultimately, provide information to those who are asking. it's a critical aspect of our work and we are the beneficiaries, in a sense, not only of the government innovation that has been done, but very tremendous industry innovation and work on trying to help us get better at ultimately spotting these types of deepfakes. that's fundamental. we can turn things around relatively quickly. obviously that's critical in providing the kind of analysis that then gives people confidence in what we are saying. that's crucial to the work we are doing. it is certainly an aspect of it. you are no stranger to those two. to ai and to our capacity to use it to benefit from it. i imagine you might have thoughts on this too. >> at a later time. >> at a later time, yes. >> i will say, one of the most inspiring parts to think about in the future of your remarks was your focus on the workforce. the i.t. w

. >> it is mind-blowing and you are landing on something which is very important.t darpa went public and tesla and elon. >> the reason is because of governmentwh loans. >> on that point should we adopt a more danish standard in israeli standard about how the government takes back some of the profits? we should have taken more and i don't know why we don't. it's ours. byby the way every bit of innovationon i think the government needs to be more involved. they have decided the only technology can be innovative. it's so exhausting to listen to some people say that constantly. i remember when the right-wing, the tee party. someone got my number was one of those robo-callste things. government is and this and that and i'd like to stay on the phone with these people. i said really, government is? question how did you get to work today and they are like i drove. on a road that was built by the government? to get off that road because that's government. that worked out well for all of us. i'mdn so glad the didn't did whn i'm glad the government innovative. what they like to do is they love

so that's what we're doing with darpa. and we're going to continue. years. and we're going to continue it. but we're going to let you get out of the sun. mr. president, what do you have to say about the middle east? of course i'm concerned about it. we benjamin netanyahu, there have been reports that he told them to stop. what exactly are you doing to put pressure on him to get to the table>> pres i've told you what pressure and putting on it wouldn't be much pressure wouldn't it? >> what can you help -- have you spoken to anyone in the green government? >> president joe biden: spoken with my staff on a regular basis probably every 4-5 hours over the last six or eight days. it's a real -- waiting a real dilemma for putting and we've been in direct contact, constant contact with the ukrainians. that's all i'm going to say about it while it's active covid-19 okay. >> [indistinct question] -- but i'm not giving up. >> you have the understanding that iran could seize or stop doing actions of a cease-fire deal is possible? >> president joe biden: that my e

from having come before nuclear war a scenario, i briefly wrote six books on the pentagon, the cia, darpa. 100 plus sources in each book, almost all of them at some point during a lengthy interview saying i dedicated my life to preventing nuclear world war iii. most people said that to me with a kind of swelling pride, legitimately so. answer during the previous administration when president trump was talking about fire and fury, come all that nuclear war rhetoric, i got to thinking about what all those sources had told me and i thought, what happens if deterrence fails? if prevention fails? what would that be like? and what i learned didn't just shocked me. it shocked me again and again and again and again. and that's what i put in the book. i put what i learned, from top tier of rational on people who opened the door into this world so that i could really see what happened. and as you know from reading the book it had once in seconds and minutes, not dayss. and weeks. >> host: right. i think it is 78 minutes, your nuclear war takes -- >> guest: 24 minutes each. that's the the minute the

dni talked yesterday about having darpa tools to identify deepfakes.it seems like we are moving too slow in terms of warning the public, given the speed of information, which seems to be a missed lesson of 2016. would you push back on that, or how would you improve the speed of information to the public? >> i would definitely push back on that. in 2016, i think there was one public announcement that the fbi director did october 7 about russian interference. that took a while to get out. there may have been a couple days before the dni statement, maybe we could go monday, about the attempted hack of the trump campaign. others should weigh in here, but we have an obligation to make pretty damn sure that when we put out information it is right. and that we do that as a community as quickly as we can. i think the information that has then been routinely released by the community in this election season i think, there were plans to do more, the dni has set out a schedule to do more. i think it reflects a recognition we have an obligation as a community to e
