As a computer engineer and video game developer with a graduate degree in artificial intelligence, I understand the importance of cultivating innovation in technology. We must strike a balance which protects consumers and their privacy without stifling innovation. Over the next decade, the federal government will be addressing important technological issues such as digital privacy, net neutrality, big-tech censorship, and cybersecurity. These policies have the potential to reshape the world we live in and will determine the course of our nation for the next century. It is critical that we strike a balance on these issues by promoting American leadership and implementing protections for users and their digital privacy without overregulating the technology industry.
