Joseph Paradiso (MIT Media Lab) on how sensors are taking over our world
• The use of sensors is both practical (control how brightly a room is lit), and intrusive (track whether
someone is “working” or “casual”). Privacy and security are major concerns that need to keep pace with
technology.
• Very innovative and advanced work, but academic based. Not about how any of it would really work in the
real world.
Mark Spates (Internet of Things Consortium) on educating companies & the public on the
Internet of Things
• The difference between connected data and data intelligence
• Data intelligence is connection of data by using sensors
• A device should leverage data and ecosystems to transform human perception and behavior
• Taking the important step of moving from having “info” to “useable intelligence”
• Intrusion of Privacy – internet of everything is tracking “everything”
Global Economy
Global Economy
Malcolm Lee - Nonresident Senior Fellow, Foreign Policy,
John L. Thornton China Center of the Brookings Institution,
formerly held economic policy positions in White House, State
& Commerce Depts
China has raised 600M people from poverty, which has a global impact including to the US economy (US
population just over 300M in 2014) by creating new consumers for different industries – including
pharma.
TPP Trans Pacific Partnership (similar to NAFTA) will be critical for the future of the global economy,
because it will help Asia Pac countries be more competitive and economically successful. It is hoped it
will help China avoid much of the downturns that were seen by Japan and Korea as they emerged from
their early stages (protectionism, focus on market share and jobs instead of profits)
China is trying to become more consumer driven vs manufacturing driven (they produce as much steel
as the rest of the world combined).
China must move beyond manufacturing and into other business areas such as services.
Foreign businesses in China feel less welcome now than at any time since China’s entry into the World
Trade Organization (WTO). They face a rising tide of national security and regulatory barriers that have
restricted market access.

Chicago Architecture
Biennial Spotlight
Chicago Architecture Biennial Spotlight
The Chicago Ideas Week Artist in
Residence Proposal for the
Architecture Biennial—The Thick City
Pavilion— looks to engage the
history, status and future of Chicago’s
urban form by calling attention to the
layered stack of infrastructural
strata upon which the city rises.
By challenging the
conventional notion of Chicago
as “flat,” they look to reframe
and challenge all-too-familiar
readings of the city in order to
open up a dialogue about its
potential future(s).
