#china represents a threat to Western economies because it has adopted unfair practices to advance its interests and has resorted to intellectual property theft to boost its technological prowess. Western governments and corporations must frame a decisive and coordinated response to counter this challenge before it is too late.

We talk to Rob Atkinson, founder and President of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), arguably the world’s top think tank for science and technology policy, At ITIF a team of policy analysts and fellows is successfully shaping the debate and setting the agenda on a host of critical issues at the intersection of technological innovation and public policy.

Dr. Atkinson's new book Technology Fears and Scapegoats: 40 Myths About Privacy, Jobs, AI, and Today’s Innovation Economy will be published by Palgrave on May 7th.
