Debunking Tech Myths About Privacy, Jobs, AI, and Today’s Innovation Economy

Technologies and tech companies are routinely accused of creating many societal problems. Rob Atkinson and David Moschella joined Dr. Michael R. Nelson, senior fellow for technology and international affairs at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, for a lively fireside chat about Atkinson and Moschella’s must-read new book, Technology Fears and Scapegoats.

In this fireside chat, Dr. Nelson asked Atkinson and Moschella about their rebuttal of widespread myths about Big Tech, Big Data, AI, privacy, trust, polarization, automation, and similar fears, while exposing the scapegoating behind them. The Webinar will provide a balanced analysis of technology’s impact on society and its overwhelmingly positive impact and will also serve as a call for tech insiders, policymakers, and the general public to restore the West’s faith in technological progress.
