In his new column for MIT Sloan Management Review — “How Should the Biden Administration Approach Tech Regulation? With Great Care” — author Larry Downes cautions the incoming administration of President Joe Biden not to move too fast or too aggressively in regulating and litigating big tech. Pointing to the benefits of a history of relatively unfettered innovation in the United States and a lack of government expertise in emerging technology, among other factors, Downes argues that all stakeholders are better served by a less-is-more approach to regulation. MIT SMR editor in chief Paul Michelman is not entirely convinced. Downes and Michelman get into the thick of the regulation debate in this week’s episode of the Three Big Points podcast.
