Book SynopsisThis book is for policy-makers navigating the digital transformation. Global governance is needed to mitigate the disproportionate risks of artificial intelligence but is in a state of deep crisis. Revisiting the era of telecommunication monopolies, this book argues that today’s return of sovereignty resembles the great reregulation, but of the entire digital economy. Breaking through the previous asymmetrical distribution of technology and institutional power, China threatens the United States’ technology hegemony. The task is to avert from the straitjacket of hyperdigitalization without causing new silos.Table of ContentsForeword.- Preface.- List of Figures.- Introduction.- The Rise and Fall of the 20th Century Technology Silos.- Breaking through Post-Colonial Dependencies.- Technology Silos of Today or the End of Global Innovation.- The Transformation of Our Time.- Race to the Bottom.- Recommendations for Policymakers.- References.
