Public opinion and political attitudes have been less welcoming to new technology in Europe than in either the United States or China (and the rest of fast-growing Asia). Although many politicians have acknowledged the importance of fostering the digital economy, European countries have struggled to build a dynamic home-grown tech sector and have been wary of foreign—mainly U.S.—internet companies.
There are a number of reasons for Europe’s reluctance to embrace the new technology of the digital era. These include an inevitably divided marketplace in a continent with different languages and cultures; Europe’s history of rules-based economic integration in the post-war period; some suspicion of free-wheeling American capitalism and its apparent disregard for Europe’s societal norms; and a relative weakness in the provision of risk finance and the openness to new consumer services that have powered the U.S. tech industry.
Governments, used to a large role in Europe’s economic life, have looked more to regulate and control the digital economy than to stand back and watch it flourish. But the impact on technology adoption of this more statist approach to the economy could be different in the future. The widespread acceptance of the important role of the public sector in economic life could facilitate the transition to a more automated world. Generous provision of income assistance and of public services, in particular high quality widely available education and training, should in theory ease the dislocations to businesses and workers that many predict will result from increased adoption of the newest technologies, including machine learning/artificial intelligence.
