"Technology Fears and Scapegoats": New Book Debunks 40 Myths about Privacy, Jobs, AI, and Today's Innovation Economy
Friday, May 17, 2024
WASHINGTON, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- New technologies and the tech companies behind them are now widely accused of creating a myriad of problems. But a new book by two leading experts on technology and innovation reveals the charges are mostly myths, falsehoods, and exaggerations.
Technology Fears and Scapegoats--available now from Amazon and other booksellers--debunks 40 widespread myths about Big Tech, Big Data, AI, privacy, trust, polarization, automation, and similar fears, while exposing the scapegoating behind them. Authors Robert D. Atkinson and David Moschella provide a balanced analysis of technology's impact on society and conclude it is overwhelmingly positive. The book serves as a clarion call for tech insiders, policymakers, and the general public to restore the West's faith in technological progress.
