Here in Washington, D.C. at the second information technology industry councils, the

Intersect Tech and Policy Summit. And I'm with the president and CEO Jason

Oxman. Jason thank you so much for having me and Forbes.

Listen, this is my first time here. Second time you guys are doing this and

the themes of AI, cybersecurity, critical infrastructure.

I was just talking to Director Croker about that, you know, great conversation.

But now I have you, the man behind the scenes that is organizing this entire summit.

Second time again, you're doing it.

Why is this important?

Because I hope it gets to a third and fourth and fifth because there's so much information here but why is this

someone important? It will get to a third fourth and fifth guaranteed and appreciate

your being here appreciate the opportunity to get together and talk about these

important issues. We call it the intersect because we're operating

at the intersection of technology and policy.

So bringing together industry leaders

from across the technology industry

with the policy makers who are making the decisions

that will impact the ability of these

companies, these innovators, to deploy the next generation of products and services

to their customers. So having this dialogue here in DC as regulators and as Congress are making important decisions

on all those topic areas that you mentioned ranging from AI and cybersecurity to broadband and privacy

and beyond.
