I'll be speaking at lunch today at the SIEPR Policy Forum,
Powerful Tools: Innovation Challenges for the Next President
About the Forum
The first panel is on using market force to accomplish good - especially in areas such as energy use and climate. Al Roth will follow with a related theme - some of his Nobel winning work on matching markets. The second panel is on the power fo advanced genetics - especially the implications of the new "CRISPR" technology. The third panel is on the economics and policy issues surrounding end-to-end encryption, and especially whether firms and product designers can and should provide "exceptional access" to governments. This affects not only our communication devices, but increasing the "Internet of Things."

Innovation is moving beyond information to the physical world. For this Policy Forum, we consider three innovation areas with great promise and risk - tools powerful enough to change the world around us.
