Will Rinehart: Big Tech, broadband access, and artificial intelligence

December 18, 2019

Why do so many
politicians and ideologues suddenly dislike Google, Facebook, and Amazon? Are
they too monopolistic, and are they using our data ethically? Also, how can we
make broadband more accessible for rural America? And what policies should we
put in place in order to fully benefit from the rise of artificial
intelligence. Will Rinehart joins me to explore all of these questions in today’s
wide-ranging podcast.

Will is the director of
Technology and Innovation Policy at the American Action Forum, where he
specializes in telecommunication, Internet, and data policy. He is also a
Frédéric Bastiat Fellow at the Mercatus Center, and was previously a research
fellow at Tech Freedom.
