Markham interviews Stephen Ezell, Vice President, Global Innovation Policy, and Director, Center for Life Sciences Innovation at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation.

Social media undermines democracy. Small businesses are more innovative than big ones. Corporate profits are at all-time highs. America's secret weapon is laissez-faire capitalism. These are widely held beliefs, but are they true? Our guest today argues that these statements aren't just wrong, but that they're holding America back—discouraging talented people from entering the technology field and making companies too cautious and wary of regulators. Is America losing its faith in innovation? If so, what can companies and governments do to turn the tide? Has America's “free-market” really been as free as we think, and what can policymakers learn from Alexander Hamilton when it comes to industrial policy?Evan is joined by Robert Atkinson, Founder and President of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, an independent, nonpartisan research and educational institute, often recognized as the world's leading think tank on science and tech policy. He is also the co-author of the Technology Fears and Scapegoats: 40 Myths about Privacy, Jobs, AI, and Today's Innovation Economy. Read his article on Hamiltonian industrial policy here.

For the last 200 years, innovation and technology have produced dramatic increases in living standards and our quality of life.  Yet today there is a widespread and growing belief that technology has become the root of all evils with all sorts of claims being made that it destroys privacy, spreads misinformation, undermines trust, and democracy, eliminates jobs, discriminates by race, and gender, increases inequality, rips off the consumer, harms children, and even threatens the human race. This is quite a bill of indictment! But is any of this true?  Bill's guests on this show, Rob Atkinson and David Moschella, believe this is mostly agenda driven bunk and have written a persuasive book to prove it. “Technology Fears and Scapegoats: 40 Myths About Privacy, Jobs, AI, and Today's Innovation Economy” Robert D. Atkinson is the founder and president of ITIF, the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, and author of many books including  “Innovation Economics: The Race for Global Advantage”  David Moschella is a nonresident senior fellow at ITIF and previously was head of worldwide research for IDC, the largest market analysis firm in the information technology industry. “America's always flourished more than anybody else in the world,” declares Atkinson, “because we have had this underlying faith in innovation, in the future, in taking risks, in going forward into the unknown. And now, that's really at risk. People are saying things like, ‘Wait a minute, we shouldn't deploy facial recognition because it's racially biased' or that ‘technology innovation has not improved the average worker's living standards.'” “Well, both those statements are wrong. They are 100% myth.” “As someone who grew up in the Boston area in the 60s and 70s,” says Moschella, “Massachusetts was considered a dead economy with no future. And then, this thing called the minicomputer was designed out of MIT, and created companies like Digital Equipment, and Prime, and Wang and all the others. And all of a sudden you had the so-called Massachusetts Miracle. People are forgetting these realities.” Some of the most damaging myths stem from a deep-seated rejection of the Western capitalist system. But to gain traction for this agenda, anti-capitalists must first convince voters that the current system is failing, and a top target is technology driven innovation.  “Also, what's happened is that some of the legitimate criticism of globalization has morphed into criticism of automation,” says Moschella. “People didn't like globalization, but then said, 'Well, automation is really more the cause than globalization, and of course technology drives automation, so we can blame technology automation for the problems globalization has created.''” “I've actually heard members of Congress say, ‘The pace of change is so rapid and we have to slow it down,' worries Rob. “Now think about that. When has America ever said that? That the average person can't handle change. That it's too fast. We've got to slow things down.” In this episode we also take on the myth that the pace of technological change is accelerating. Compare current era to the early 20th century, which saw the introduction of transformative technologies like electricity, radio, automobiles, and airplanes. The perception of rapid change today is often skewed by the digital revolution's visibility, but in reality, the physical and infrastructural advancements of the past were probably more transformative. America has shifted its focus from delivering technological wonders to preventing “harmful” change. Once widely seen as a savior of humanity, technology is increasingly used as a scapegoat for just about every societal ill. But if we see innovation as a necessary force for good, with government's role as a constructive enabler, there will be thoughtful innovation policies and more innovation  But if the dominant narrative is that technology is an out-of-control force for harm, there will be destructive policies and a stultifying future. Agree or disagree, this conversation wanders into some interesting waters and challenges a lot of today's conventional wisdom about technology.

As Medical Affairs professionals, many of us have moved from first careers in academia or healthcare. What did your colleagues say when you told them you were transitioning to pharma? Did they say you were going to the "dark side"? In this episode, we speak with Robert Atkinson, President of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation and author of the recently published book, Technology Fears and Scapegoats: 40 Myths About Privacy, Jobs, AI, and Today's Innovation Economy. And we explore the origins of negative opinions of the pharmaceutical industry, and whether a for-profit model can support both innovation and the society's best interests.

The Chinese Communist Party sees technology innovation as the main battlefield of its industrial policy - and its ultimate weapon for achieving global dominance. The United States and the Biden Administration needs to confront the reality of what has been called China's “brute force economics” and abandon the possibility that competing on a level playing field with China's is possible. We have to face up to the fact that we are not simply in an economic competition with China. We're in a war. Joining the Bill Walton Show to explore this troubling reality is our returning guest: Robert D. Atkinson. Rob is the founder and president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, one of the world's top think tanks for science and technology policy.  China's tactics are not merely an assortment of cutthroat moves made by individual actors. Rather, they are features of Beijing's long-term strategy and are backed up by the full force of the country's party-state system, creating a challenge that Washington cannot afford to ignore. Beijing is intent on employing predatory and mercantilist practices to acquire leadership positions in virtually every emerging and advanced industry that matters.  It's doing this through market access restrictions, massive industrial subsidies that fuel overcapacity, technology transfer requirements for market access, preferential financing and procurement contracts for domestic firms, intellectual property theft, cyber- and human-enabled espionage, coercion and bullying, forced labor and other poor labor conditions, and other market-distorting policies. They've already established dominance in industries including steel, solar panels, drones, shipbuilding, pharmaceutical ingredients, high-speed rail, and telecommunications equipment; and are making rapid progress in artificial intelligence (AI), aerospace, semiconductors, biotechnology, networking technologies, and electric vehicles and batteries, cloud computing, flat panel displays, advanced materials, autonomous systems, and LiDAR technology.  Fortunately, as Rob explains, there are some straightforward and implementable actions the United States can take to push back against China's agenda. If you've been wondering about what the economic battle with China is all about, this conversation is a great place to understand its essentials.

As wireless devices become critical to our daily lives, the process of allocating and managing electromagnetic spectrum rights has become more important but also more contested. Breakdowns in the federal spectrum coordination process and the inability to free up enough spectrum for commercial use threaten American leadership in wireless technology and limit the benefits Americans can get from their wireless devices.Two former National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) administrators joined us for a discussion of how the NTIA makes spectrum policy and what reforms are needed to ensure effective federal policy that advances both federal and commercial interests.Featuring:- Hon. John Kneuer, President and Founder, JKC Consulting LLC; Former Administrator, NTIA- Hon. David Redl, Founder and President, Salt Point Strategies; Former Administrator, NTIA- Moderator: Scott D.

According to a 2021 report from the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (https://itif.org/publications/2021/11/29/assessing-state-digital-skills-us-economy/), the United States needs to significantly increase its investment in workforce training, including for digital skills. Their report dove into the abilities of today's working-age Americans, and the results are shocking. One in six working-age Americans are unable to use email, web search, or other basic digital tools. Closing the divide in digital skills is crucial for American's financial and workforce future.  We were lucky enough to talk about the digital divide with Scott Kuchinsky. Scott is an experienced educator, program administrator, and licensed attorney. Currently, he's worked as the Director of Literacy Service at Plainfield Public Library in New Jersey. In this role, Scott oversees 300 adult learners, 50 volunteer teachers, along with a team of paid employees. He's passionate about the impact of digital training and industry-certification, and designed instructional materials for New Jersey State Library's Literacy Bootcamp Program, leveraging Certiport's IC3 Digital Literacy certification.  In this episode, we explain what the digital divide is, how digital literacy differs from digital fluency, and the impact the divide has on different populations. Scott also shares his preferred funding sources, and how to make sure you secure funding for your digital literacy program.  Discover more about the success happening at Plainfield Public Library here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uix0ISapfjs and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZnongEoAAs&t=4s.  Learn more about Certiport's IC3 Digital Literacy program here: https://certiport.pearsonvue.com/Certifications/IC3/Digital-Literacy-Certification/Overview.

The Biden administration has made customer experience offered by agencies a management imperative. Yet satisfaction scores keep trending down. The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation has analyzed the situation and found one thing the government needs to strengthen is how it measures digital services effectiveness. The ITIF's policy fellow Eric Egan joined the Federal Drive to discuss.

The 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act requires the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice to "ensure that Federal policies promote equal access to robust broadband internet access service by prohibiting deployment discrimination."Listen to this discussion on the FCC's ongoing efforts to effectuate this portion of the statute and how policymakers can best achieve the goal of equitable broadband deployment. The discussion considered what discrimination means in this context, whether broadband providers engage in it, and what regulatory actions would best ensure Americans have access to the broadband they need.Featuring:- Diana Eisner, Vice President, Policy & Advocacy, USTelecom- Jenna Leventoff, Senior Policy Counsel, Public Knowledge- Crystal Tully, Deputy Staff Director, United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science & Transportation- Sanford Williams, Special Advisor to Chairwoman Rosenworcel and Deputy Managing Director, The Office of the Managing Director, Federal Communications Commission- Moderator: Joe Kane, Director of Broadband and Spectrum Policy, Information Technology and Innovation Foundation

U.S. state and local governments have provided about $1.7 billion in subsidies to Chinese companies since 2010, a trend that must be reversed, said Robert Atkinson, president of Washington-based think tank Information Technology and Innovation Foundation.

Semiconductors and Sanctions – Can They Achieve the Desired Result With “Tech Titan” Robert Atkinson, Ph.D., President of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation and Host Richard Levick of LEVICK: Robert Atkinson, Ph.D., President of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation -- recognized as the world's top think tank for science and technology policy -- who has served under four U.S. presidents and has been referred to by The New Republic as one of the “three most important thinkers about innovation,” speaks with host Richard Levick of LEVICK about semiconductors, China and Russia and explores questions such as, in the long run, are sanctions really good for the U.S. interests? Will there be duplicated efforts and a resource waste? Will they exacerbate the chipset shortage now? What should policymakers do to capitalize on new opportunities, overcome challenges and avoid potential pitfalls? 

The show of unity among nations opposed to Russia's invasion of Ukraine presents a model for how democratic allies could come together to oppose Beijing if the communist regime follows through on its repeated threats against Taiwan, according to Robert Atkinson, president of Washington-based think tank Information Technology and Innovation Foundation. The sanctions and economic decoupling […]

There are very few political issues that get bipartisan support these days, never mind consensus spanning geopolitical boundaries. But whether we're talking across the aisle or over the pond, there seems to be common agreement that the power of big tech firms should be regulated. However the government's track record when it comes to antitrust aimed at tech is mixed, at best. History shows that market forces, rather than public policy, have been much more effective at curbing monopoly power in the technology industry. Moreover, the standard for antitrust action has always been demonstrating consumer harm. Many of today's policy makers are challenging that notion and using market dominance and the potential for consumer harm as the new benchmark for intervention. In this week's Breaking Analysis we welcome in frequent CUBE contributor David Moschella, author and senior fellow at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation. We explore several issues including the efficacy of governments' antitrust actions against big tech, what types of remedies have been and can be most effective and a first pass assessment of the new rules EU regulators just agreed to try and rein in big tech companies.

Activists like to shower the American broadband industry with criticism. In a new paper, Anticorporate Broadband Populists' Real Agenda: Destroy the Current Private-Sector System, Robert Atkinson, founder and president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, highlights the activists' ultimate goal: to turn broadband into a government-run utility. Rob joins TechFreedom's Corbin Barthold and James Dunstan to discuss the holes in the activists' arguments, the problems with municipal broadband, and the (pretty darn good) state of the broadband industry.

Countries around the world committed to keeping the goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius at the last United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland. But when looking at the world's aggregate performance across key indicators of clean energy innovation, a new report from the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation found "a global lack of urgency." And without an immediate surge in effort by countries working with the private sector, the report suggests chances for mitigating the worst impacts of climate change will slip away. Senior editor Jasmin Melvin spoke with the report's author, ITIF senior policy analyst Hoyu Chong, about her work analyzing the health of the global clean energy innovation system and what it means for the global fight against climate change. Stick around after the interview for Chris van Moessner with the Market Minute, a look at near-term oil market drivers.
