Everyday people buy products that have a connection to the internet. It may be a light bulb, a smart speaker or a car or even a medical device. But because they connect to the internet, these products require an entirely new frame of reference for consumers, manufacturers and legislators to ensure they keep working, stay secure, and behave as advertised. We need a new social contract for connected devices.
Join us for a conversation with Stacey Higginbotham on the ways connected devices and systems fail, and how those failures should inform new business models, laws and regulations, and even etiquette. Stacey’s been covering technology topics for twenty years, most prominently on her long-running podcast and newsletter “Stacey on IoT” and more recently as an adviser to Consumer Reports on technology policy.
