The Case for Deliberately Slowing Technology Adoption

Original: The Case for Technological Foot-Dragging

A new essay argues that slowing down the adoption of new technologies can be a virtue rather than a failure. Writing in Public Discourse, the author makes the case for 'technological foot-dragging', suggesting individuals and institutions have good reasons to resist or delay embracing innovations, from AI to other fast-moving tools, until their consequences are better understood.

Why now: Ongoing public debate over the pace of AI and technology adoption has renewed interest in arguments for deliberate restraint.
