Recent developments indicate there’s a strong possibility that the US government relied on artificial intelligence to formulate its newly announced tariff policies. Initially, the unusual and complex structure of reciprocal tariffs assigned to various countries puzzled many economists. However, subsequent independent investigations showed that prominent AI models yielded remarkably similar approaches. This convergence strongly implies that an individual or team involved in the decision-making process requested AI assistance to produce the eventual tariff strategy.
Additionally, the fresh tariffs targeting nations such as China, Taiwan, and South Korea could soon start impacting major tech companies by raising the costs involved in building and maintaining AI infrastructure, particularly data centers. Indeed, influential firms like Microsoft have already started postponing certain planned infrastructure in countries like Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States due to these anticipated higher expenses.
