Abstract
The acceleration of the fourth industrial revolution has led many experts and technological elites to demand government intervention to direct the path of technological development. This paper analyzes the bases of citizen support for policies that regulate and tax new technologies. We argue that policy preferences are shaped by core narratives about technology, principally related to the claim that technology favors economic growth and consumers (the ’pro-tech’ narrative), or that it harms some workers and communities (the ’anti-tech’ narrative). To examine how these core narratives affect public opinion, we develop new survey questions about six relevant policies (e.g. taxes on algorithms and robots) and experimentally manipulate the arguments provided to citizens about the consequences of such policies. We embed our experiments in large, representative samples from 5 EU countries (France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Sweden) in which we also measure a theoretically motivated battery of objective and subjective technological risks, including risk of substitution by artificial intelligence (AI). We find that: a) there is considerable support for technology regulation; b) support is significantly reduced by arguing that regulation and taxation harms the economy and consumers; c) support is only modestly increased by appealing to the distributional consequences of technological disruption; d) objective indicators of technology risk neither predict attitudes nor moderate treatment effects. We conclude by discussing the implications of our results in light of growing concern about AI.
