In this episode, we discuss the major implications of the dramatic US-China tariff reductions on the artificial intelligence industry. With import duties on critical components like GPUs and semiconductors slashed—from 145% to 30% on Chinese goods and from 125% to just 10% on American exports—companies like Nvidia, AMD, and Alibaba are seeing immediate benefits. We explore how these lower tariffs are reducing hardware costs, stabilizing supply chains, boosting investor confidence, and reshaping global AI competitiveness. We also examine how lingering export controls and the short-term nature of this tariff truce may temper long-term strategies for firms across both nations.
