Techlash 2025: The Outlook for Tech Policy in the Trump Administration

New technologies and the tech companies that provide them are accused of fueling a myriad of economic and societal problems—from destroying individual privacy to amplifying biases, destroying jobs, and snuffing out competition. The accusations are mostly myths, falsehoods, and exaggerations. Nonetheless, they are widely accepted as factual—and they serve as the pretext for both discreet policy proposals and broad ideological agendas in Washington. How will this tech fearmongering and scapegoating play out in the new administration and Congress?

Please join ITIF for an online presentation and discussion with Robert D. Atkinson and David Moschella, co-authors of Technology Fears and Scapegoats: 40 Myths About Privacy, Jobs, AI, and Today’s Innovation Economy.
