Opening Remarks - Day Two

good morning day two besides Las Vegas congratulations to all of you for making it back into the conference after last night uh I hope everybody's remembering to drink their water although you're probably not the ones I have to talk to about that but keep drinking all day hopefully some water mixed in there um we have uh a couple of uh minor announcements so uh reminder to everybody so we've got the uh the Sky talks lines this year which are new right um off in the the corridor on the side of the uh breaking ground here uh the lines are long but they move really quickly once you know once they open from the uh the moment

that the uh the tokens are distributed for the next sessions um if you're not familiar with that we have Sky talks over in the Platinum building this year up on the the penthouse and uh you can get a token here that allows you access to a particular session there's uh series of them through the day and there'll be a variable number of talks within a particular session so if you look on the schedule every one of those talks tells you what session you would need access to you can go and get in line over here when the um excuse me the tokens for that session are being released if you're interested um excuse me all right that

said uh I want to thank each and every one of you for continuing to mask uh and I know it's it's not fun but uh we really appreciate what you're doing for the folks who need that and uh I think that's it is in terms of things that we need everybody to be aware of so uh while our esteemed uh guests is getting ready I'll talk a little about this is we have with us today um Professor Andrea matsan from uh University of Pennsylvania and Penn State Penn State excuse me I yep you're I used to teach it so you're not wrong it's it's somewhere in that Eastern pen sort done done Northeastern Northwestern pen pen

State uh she she has a very uh illustrious uh set of credentials but she's also a a professor uh both of engineering and of Law and has spent a lot of her career looking at the intersection between the two and the policy between the two uh and and how we can be more effective in how we think about regulating and and um you know governing our use of Technology uh this is all as you might imagine very relevant in in light of some of the things that we've seen in the last uh course of this year uh around uh safety and uh uh serious you know human and financial impacts resulting from our uh use of Technology uh so she's going to

be talking a bit about how we can take a look with a through a a a safety lens uh sort of the the tradition policy Frameworks that we've used in areas where life and and you know critical safety are important and uh what that might look like so that we could have a a a more effective next couple of decades than what we've seen in the last you know 20 years of of technology and and uh some of the outcomes that we've seen there for safe Safety and Security so uh I'm going to stop talking about it we'll give her a couple know couple of minutes while they're working on the because of course in the live version yes it's not

going to work the way it did but uh you know I think something very relevant for uh the moment and something that could have some significant impact uh and start a very good conversation about how we should be thinking about these incidents and how we get out of uh the game that we have now uh around uh underinvestment in security and safety and uh excuse me sort of externalization of uh some of the risks that are involved there so uh in with that I'll uh turn off the mic for a second and uh we'll get going as soon as this uh AV stuff is sorted out
