techno-utopianism
Tech-solves-everything belief
Techno-utopianism is the belief that technological advancement will solve humanity's major problems and lead to an ideal society.
Adherents see innovation—artificial intelligence, biotechnology, space colonization—as paths to abundance, equality, or transcendence.
Critics use the term dismissively for naive faith that technology alone can fix social ills: His techno-utopianism ignores how algorithms can entrench inequality.
