curb has all the power to industry and academia to support its efforts. equally troubling are the multinational corporations inadvertently or tacitly providing the technological research behind china's unethical use of ai. cooperation with beijing has consequences, not just for democracy and human rights, but also for the strength of our partnerships abroad. if our allies and partners turn it5g platforms with china, will inject serious risk into our communication and intelligence sharing capabilities. our collective security must not be diminished by a narrow sighted focus on economic opportunity. russia has made its intentions equally clear, calling ai the future of humanity and describing technology as the key to supremacy in the world stage. moscow has demonstrated its eagerness to use the latest free andies against open societies. we should not doubt their abilities on the battlefield either. i mentioned ukraine earlier and we expect russia to continue to deploy high-tech ai capabilities in combat zones. the united states will offer a vision of ai tha

thank you for the introduction what this commission is doing to bring together academia and business is critically important so thank you for inviting me to speak it's great to be here. the world around us is changing at a pace faster than ever before new technologies are emerging to think about plan and prepare for war. twenty years ago i saw firsthand the transformative power from desert storm with the 101st airborne division the deepest aerosol into enemy territory in only 96 hours the first three brigades were cutting off the republican guard. it was the proving ground for a new generation of military weapons and equipment from laserguided smart bombs to widespread use of gps with the iraqi military defeated a number of days they demonstrated mastery of a digital revolution that was cutting edge soviet technology considered obsolete. since and they have been trying to catch up. five years ago they surprised the world how far they have come july 11, 2014 ukrainian forces assembled 5 miles near southeastern ukraine coming off those successes the battalion was preparing a final push

people in academia really advise you against using the word democracy when it comes to stalinist russia because they include this notion of civil society that is central to today idea of democracy but. what you're describing just there wasn't talent terrorism about point of time either there was somebody in moscow with a limb of the security apparatus the rest of the country was essentially lots of self governance is that an accurate. hereon ism as in general has sort of been debunked within the academia simply because more regional studies have proved that they simply didn't have the manpower or the infrastructure to monitor people frequently you know i look at collective farms where they have seen district level officials once every one or two years so the rest of the time they're busy doing whatever they want on their own people in the west would see stalin's out for its courage this are popular participation as a sham because they would think that genuine democracy would be the impediment to his. with what you're saying. it may have been quite the opposite that he saw it as a means

and i know what's what's happening in mainstream now was in academia in the 1990 s. it just went into the mainstream right now you have hollywood you have big. capitalism they're all channeling the same thing ok the same kind of ideology it's really an ideology of anti-politics go ahead in new york. well i agree with you we do we see a constant attack on on conservatives within within college campuses and i've been saying for a long time and you know i don't blame one particular party i believe that a lot of the weight does fall solely on the left but i believe that both all elected politicians dish falls on their shoulders that we need to upgrade our education system and we need to stop having an indoctrination system you know right now our education system does not prepare people for the future of what it is it's a lot of these radical professors who go into teaching and they want to indoctrinate they want to revise history and it's spilling over so it's not it's no longer just on a college campuses we're seeing a spillover like you said at the dinner table it's sp

challenge hereon ism is in general has sort of been debunked within the academia simply because more regional studies have proved that they simply didn't have the manpower or the infrastructure to monitor people frequently you know i look at collective farms where they have seen district level officials once every one or two years so the rest of the time they're busy doing whatever they want on their own people in the west would see stalins out for its to encourage this or popular participation as a sham because they would think that genuine democracy would be the impediment to his. with what you're saying. it may have been quite the opposite that he saw it as a means of strengthening his power simply because again as you said he didn't have enough resources and manpower to reach every little corner for he actually gives an interview with roy howard in which he discusses his views on democracy he sees it as a whip in the hands of the people to deal with incompetent local officials he encourages them to be active to root out those who are not doing a good job he says you know this per

lines, how do we encourage academia to develop those tools? this could come from government sources, private sources like research grants. i think this is an area of rights for more investment and funding. here, they need access to real-world data. this is going to require operation from companies. orthere is an approach providing an alternative, how do ?e audit that new approach can we say it is worth the investment that we are putting into it? that is going to require some sort of cooperation. so how do you enable access to real-world data, maintain privacy and protecting these companies profits? one of the things we think is important in this discussion is we don't go overboard. consequences the of engaging in over promoting democratic activity, democracy within russia has a much larger downside. essentially, we run the risk of being hypocritical. if we prioritize the defense of activities, make it harder for disinformation to succeed in united rates, that, we think has the most promise for being able to shape the decision-making. finally,

have you seen good collaboration between academia and industry? i seem to recall when i was working with you, there were some activities. have you got examples that we can bring to the forefront to get people past that risk equation? >> that's a good question. i wish i had some at hand. i mentioned before we kicked off a.i. task force at carnegie melon university and doing good work there. obviously the army is deeply integrated in austin, texas. they're doing a lot of work trying to cut through bureaucracy, doing cross functional teams to do that. i think all the services are looking for different ways where we can really accelerate the progress because we need to get there. we need to make sufficient investments and right now d.o.d.s in the final weeks of building its budget for the next year. and again a.i. is one of those critical technologies we need to get to. but it's not just the money. it's the people. i probably put people number one and then all the systems you need to enable them to do their jobs and do them well. >> you mentioned the

that is academia. the village is academia. place to protect kids from reality and they end up in debt. >> eric: it's self-enclosed unit. teachers are guaranteed their job. >> bob: it's a union. >> eric: yes. it votes if democrats. they come back to protect their -- freddie kids are force fed junk. >> bob: do we not have the greatest university system in the world? >> greg: not anymore. >> andrea: once kids fete in real world they see the light. young american foundation sends me to campuses. i love to go. professors show up and students are in a bubble. professors rarely left the campus. on feminism i say the world has changed. girls tell me you don't know how it is when you get out. how do you know how it is? >> greg: the woman in "a" block, michelle, she was a graduate masters in journalism from berk ily. that is what you get. i went to berkeley. i know what it's like. there are a lot of women like that. she compared ann romney to hitler. that is what you get from a masters degree at berkeley. >> andrea: president become bam

all over the world actually if you look actually if you look at russia it's also neck in academia and other where is that and why is that it is because academia has grown up in context but if you look at pretty much every course at a university almost every course not every but almost every course the context is central by you will study south asian studies you'll study russian history this is a context based perspective and when you take that approach somebody has to provide you an interpretation of the context and so over time that interpretation can become biased if your educational approach is cross can text sure will. cross contacts show indy's case means having 7 facilities around the world that he didn't have through the course of that so it has means culturally cross contextual both in where the students learn but also in the student body it means cross contextual in the sense that when you do your studies you learn these pieces of practical knowledge not within a field but apply to many different fields right but the subject matter isn't the field of study it is the tool that

and the need for freedom freedoms that come with academia and the need forfreedom of freedoms that come with academia and the need for freedom of expression, do you not worry about the curtailment of freedom of expression in iran today? come on, stephen, you just a few minutes ago was saying how the different political factions and the ha rdliners how the different political factions and the hardliners and the reformers and the hardliners and the reformers and the hardliners and the reformers and the moderates and they are all out at each other‘s throats, and what is that all about? because there is a freedom of speech in this country. there are arguments and debate. is it an ideal, is it a utopia? 0f debate. is it an ideal, is it a utopia? of course it isn't. we are also a country where we have the united states surrounding us, we have us troops in the persian gulf, in iraq, in afghanistan, you have the united states constantly threatening the country, you have western countries funding groups and carrying out psychological warfare, if you have thousands of former terrace, you know t

>> i have been so bored, i wanted to get into academia. >> obviously we may have a hard time figuring out what to talk about, it's been quiet at facebook. >> we will kick it off easy and dive in and talk about russia. it is a light topic. >> the country, a beautiful place. i wish i could visit. >> i have a map, you know how people have maps of every state they've been to, i have the map of countries i can never visit and that is the biggest area. >> that's unfortunate, maybe things will change. obviously yesterday, your former boss sat in front of the senate committee testifying about facebook and russia and interference in the presidential election and moving forward, famously after the election, mark zuckerberg made the comments the idea that facebook impacted the election was a crazy idea. so, i would love if you could take us through the day, that you and your team realized russia had in packed and interfered on the platform. >> there wasn't one day. we first spotted russian activity in the spring before the election. our company and a bunch of other of the big ones have full-time

for centuries have been the downtrodden of our society and you know it's a bit like what institutions academia hollywood the media and. i would say yes because hollywood an actor you get and you see a right and are absolutely don't have now are you serious well listen i'm not talking about the media i'm talking about the people that are kicking trying to snub the career people that are problematic in these institutions these institutions are definitely right wing i mean the whole 20th century the list that they had to blacklist leftists from the the media akademi and so on and the story of the left and in the united states the left is at the weakest position it has ever been in the history but it is now gaining steam and i think that this is just a reflection of this i can't really sentiment we have to go back and read in trying our terms not the left menu right now because you know we look at a platform you know roger stone was the platforms ok why because he says he offends you i mean i'm a conservative in rogers don't impinge me all the time i says profession is do of pens you ok right now

academia and in particular land-grant universities play a unique and critical role in supporting the defense mission. working with federal partners we can form cutting-edge research, develop countermeasures and solutions and technologies that can support our industry during peacetime as well as during a disease outbreak. our ability to work in each segment of the development pipeline provides expertise, perform research to address questions and act as a hub for capabilities are just some of the attributes that make academia such a strong and vital partner. to our outreach mission, we work to educate producers, stakeholders and the public about novel technologies, policies, threats to the sector. we have strong relationships with our stakeholders that are built on trust and understanding and perhaps most importantly to homeland security provide a venue for a brokered, unbiased discussion and communication between the state and federal government and our agricultural sector. academia is in a unique position to facilitate discussions between the private and public sector and works to br

what do you see as a role for industry and academia. and they upscale be forced to create the organic capabilities. >> a quick answer. >> i don't want to be word police. the industrial processes, they upgrade their own capabilities but a public-private interaction process, the private companies have so many resources construct boot camps where government agencies can be continually identifying the skill set that they want and have a process to dynamically connect to the program and be the immersive process and get trained rapidly. >> the tours of duty at a larger scale spending time at companies. the government agencies do a poor job creating the sense of excitement for the work people doing government. anyone doing machine learning on the weather or climate systems, how do you attract people for problems, they have better assets to offer to people answering those problems. >> final word time is up. forgive me. one word answer from each of you about what you are most excited about for in ai future, we have negative, 20 seconds. one word

i want to thank those who joined us from academia, government and private sector, all who participated to conquer the participated to conquer the challenges of cyber security. free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. it has become clear they are the , toet of our adversaries sow discord and undermine our way of life.

audit that helps establish the dialogue and then the coordination that you're concerned about among academia, the private sector and also government. so when we know where the gaps are, we can fix them. >> yes. mr. lawless and dr. goodman, the task force's report discussed the reality of cyber espionage against business and government information systems. would you explain why foreign language is so important to cyber security? >> right now with this explosion of of languages on the internet, only 20% of that content is in english. so the rest is, i guess, not english. and there's -- there's also a huge increase in what we call user-generated content through blogs and other social media sites. so if you want to analyze what's out there, if you want to understand what other people say about you as a company or about us as a nation, then speaking those languages but also understanding that language in the current context and the context of the culture is absolutely crucial. >> thank you, senator. dan mentioned in his testimony that language conveys values and sometimes it conceals intentions.

and i went to academia and he was a guiding light he was a bit controversial in his early days because he had reem re understood it and mapped out. what we understood about the soviet union russia and communism and sell he was an adviser to presidents particular of george bush sr he played a pivotal role in academia and i would even say in foreign policy but then everything changed he was basically disappeared by the academy because he disagree with the the consensus. view of russia after the cold war and he was always one that would say engagement because he remembered the cold war and remember how detente for all been sailing works because it kept us out of the major conflict your thoughts about him because united moralists studied the same thing with our lives parallel. in the go ahead george yes you're absolutely right peter he was a towering figure and he has been for many years i mean don't forget back in the 1970 is the consensus view among analysts of the soviet union was that change was impossible but the soviet system had to reach a kind of bureaucratic equilibrium you know t

the role of academia is one component of a broader solution. it is an all enterprise approach in solving the problems and supporting the livestock and allied industries depend on a strong public private partnership. and finally, i want to thank you for the opportunity to speak to you today, and i look forward to your questions. >> thank you, dr. beckham. the chair recognizes mr. acord for five minutes. >> madam chairwoman, ranking member payne and members of the subcommittee, the u.s. agriculture food supply has been at grace risk of pest and disease and the risk continues to increase because of the travel, tourism and trade increases. each passenger's handbag brought into the united states pose as risk. every piece of mail poses a risk. large volumes are transported illegally or legally and may be carry a disease. and now terrorist weaponizing a disease is a new threat. a particular concern is food and mouth disease. it is a highly viral disease affecting club hooved animals. there are an estimated 1 million pigs and 400,000 cattle moved daily

academia academia. that was a long slow march they infused it with freudian as some -- freudian ism with gender sensuality and relations to argue people were fully capable to be bisexual at a very young age fully capable of premarital sex smashing monogamy one of their original creatures long before the left picked that up but a contrarian communist one of the founders and george said they're the enemy most of the guys did that have good marriages. woman is the enemy healthy love dies in marriage which is a business transaction. the bourgeois family the traditional family stinks'. politics is only the means. so there are a bunch of these have to flee berlin because many were jewish and when hitler came to take germany there were forced to flee berlin. there are very few places in the world will into except these freaks what college would accept them? there was one. columbia university. and john dewey in particular what gave the school president with others to say they are doing a fabulous work bring it

people pay to work in academia. there's another angle to it which is i would strongly whether youeryone are an artist or politician or journalists, you should try to learn programming. programming is actually fun. building toys. we are leaving a few minutes rightso discuss human issues in the democratic republic of congo. adoptionsrnational - ersight activities, and

but but on the other hand there would be immediate reduction but i think academia is going to suffer the most in countries like united states where the things overall are much more like it so that is what one of my favorite russian near scientists at that senator niggas gotta know maybe you even know her and she spoke to me recently and she goes that assert uncertainty east the most frightening thing for a human psyche and since this crisis has brought us up to like a whole new level of uncertainty. she says these are the things that will help us through curiosity and empathy do you agree let me tell you what happened to kind of people the 1st kind of people say oh things are bad i'm just a home and cry and wait for things to get better like for example. who were drivers say ok there's no right or another friend of mine who was. someone from iran. that he converted is aside to start a delivery service. he says people you know they're buying food that they don't want to wait in line supermarket and so you know and he's making twice as much money twice ok so some people are making. lem

the civil society the academia and research centers in order to be able to establish at least some basic protocols to allow for the web to be an effective instrument for the good i don't intend that united nations as a leadership role on these but i can guarantee that united nations would be ready to be a platform in which different actors could come together and discuss the way forward in order to find the ever quit approaches to make sure that we are able to deal with the problems of cyber security especially now that artificial intelligence that is providing enormous potential for economic development for social development for the well being of all of us also in the opinion of many an existential threat for human kind all these creates the need for a serious effort in which we need to all embark to be able to have in relation to the web a proactive form of if not traditional regulation at least the level of discipline that would be necessary and the capacity to take into account the ethical values that are necessary to make it an element for the good of mankind. now it is clear that

and along those lines how do we encourage and fund academia to fund those tools? this could come from government sources or private sources like foundations. research grants, i think this is an area that is really ripe for more investment and funding. >> the twist here will really be in order to do this research properly, rigorously they need access to real world data. this is going to require corporation from companies. if there's an approach to detect and remove disinformation or provide an alternative narrative, how do we, for lack of a better word, audit that new approach? can we say it is effective and it is worth the investment that we're putting into it? and that is going to require some sorts of cooperation. so how you enable access to real world data while maintaining user privacy and protecting these company's profits. one of the things that we think is really important in this discussion is essentially don't go overboard. prioritizing defensive activities over punishments. we think that the consequences of engaging in overt promoting democratic activiti

but what's happened is that this idea has been reallies caped from academia -- really escaped from academia and started penetrating educational institutions that are ideologically sympathetic to critical race theory, then corporations which have basically been bullied into adopting these programs, and then even the federal government. so you have public employees who are paid by taxpayers perpetuating ideology that is explicitly anti-american, explicitly anti-constitutional. and until these stories were uncovered and exposed to the public, they had been spreading for years. but i think with this order and the continued fight existence it, the -- against it, the tide is beginning to turn. lou: well, it's beginning to turn because of your extraordinary efforts. and, again, i want to commend you for doing so. as we wrap up here, the critical race theory, is it actually an attempt to, if you will, indoctrinate americans? is it part of what we see now happening whether it's on the streets of democrat-run cities or whether it's what we see as indoctrination in schools, is it part of that effort t

i admire you and people at fox news and some in the republican party, brave voices in academia saying i'm going to speak out regardless of the consequences. the romans and greeks believed that luxury announce leads to decadence. somebody in the inner city can hava an iphone with more computing power than six mainframes. a man from mexico in an -- in a kia ride as well as the mercedes. i don't like the lack of gratitude or the trashing of our system or our ancestors that gave us the system. maybe the universities have created an ignorant contrary view, but something has gone wrong. mark: isn't this issue about freedom generally? freedom is a tremendous thing. but peopleto have the opportuniy to destroy freedom. isn't that what the framers of the constitution were worried about? mobocracy. so they create a republic. the president wins the electoral college, they want to get rid of the electoral college. they don't like the president winning senators in the states, so they want to get rid of the senate. twhament they o do. isn't that an attack on our foundational principles and liberty?

and you might look at academia and the challenges is that is conducive to 21st century or we are generating now is the output of what we need for the economic opportunities that are there. governments never going to be on its current structure, the institution that is ahead technologically because we just don't allow technology to be played in real time. >> twenty-seven, getting me credit, this was an area weather it is the architecture of our satellites overhead or an area where we are up to our eyeballs in the next generation telecom. it's called five g. the equivalent of moving to four g to five g all the things we call the internet of things relied on the systems. doug in deep. we are because we get a chance to see this brawl on the cutting edge research is done in the entire world. and we have earned some credibility with her colleagues that if we come up with some ideas, and so stay tuned, some of these areas are going to pose economic and security challenges beyond anything imagined in the last 50 or 60 years i say will have some thoughtful things to see about it. >> say in us they d
