Dignity and Dynamism: The Future of Conservative Technology Policy

Bookmark
Email
Print/PDF

The era of Big Tech, artificial intelligence, Donald Trump, and the United States’ great-power competition with China has thrust technology policy to the center of our national politics.

Are new technologies helping or harming the American family? How should our society balance economic dynamism with the preservation of communities and institutions? And what is the appropriate role of the state in addressing these issues?

Please join AEI and distinguished guests, including Ryan Streeter of the Civitas Institute, for a substantive and wide-ranging discussion about the future of conservative technology policy.

Visit the AEI  website for more information about this event.
