The fuel for techlash stems in part from real “strong and widespread negative reaction events, such as Russia's use of social media to the growing power and influence that platforms to interfere with the 2016 U.S. large technology companies hold” elections and Cambridge Analytica's misuse of (Oxford English Dictionary) Facebook data for political purposes. The fear of losing control of machines has fueled widespread anxiety as they have potential to disrupt industries, displace jobs, and change social norms. SMASH THE MACHINE?

However, if not implemented carefully, they can worsen existing inequalities. Digital Divide Privacy Concern Algorithmic Bias Access and services in smart cities Smart cities risk having data leaks Smart cities increasingly rely on can be unevenly distributed due to that can lead to cyberattacks, algorithms to decide policing, demographic factors such as age propaganda, and electoral resource allocation, and social and income. manipulation. services. Addressing 'Techlash' & Ensuring Inclusive Innovation By adopting a tech-realistic approach, technological advancement is balanced with ethical considerations, transparency, and inclusivity to foster equitable progress. Implement inclusive smart initiatives. Form public-private partnerships. Strengthen cyber law.

With the proper oversight and safeguards, technological innovation can ultimately fulfill the vision of an inclusive, smart, and sustainable city.  Unit 4: Christian Dasalla clu s iv IInnnovation e Inclusive Innovation A methodology for ensuring that solutions for development challenges are built with local stakeholders, taking a holistic approach to understanding impact.
