During the middle of the 20th century, scientists and social theorists began to fear the problem of overpopulation, predicting a period of mass starvation.

Famously, Stanford’s Paul Ehrlich, in his 1968 book, "The Population Bomb" predicted "the battle to feed all of humanity is over...hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now."

At the time, his pessimistic thinking was not isolated. Simultaneously, Norman Borlaug became a pioneer in wheat production with his work in genetics powering new ways to grow crops. His "Green Revolution" for which he received the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize, is credited with saving over a billion lives.

Innovation, a tried and tested wire cutter, defused the population growth bomb. The same is true about the Biden administration’s pessimism-driven regulatory obsession with artificial intelligence that aims to replicate these past mistakes.
