Donald Trump has called on tech giants such as Google and Microsoft to stop hiring people in countries like India and instead focus on the US workforce. He released several policies at the recent AI summit, deemed to spur the development of AI in the US, reduce the supply of woke AI, and increase employment in the country.
Focus on American Jobs Over India, Says Trump
During a panel at the AI Summit in Washington, Donald Trump asked technology companies, such as Google and Microsoft, to cease hiring individuals from other countries, including India, and instead focus on job creation in the U.S. He criticized their globalist ideology and outsourcing practices.
America First in AI Development
Trump issued three executive orders to support the development of AI in the U.S.
The major plan:
-
Add more data centres.
-
AI infrastructure speeds up.
-
Market American AI devices globally.
Ban on Woke AI in Government Projects
Donald Trump declared that AI funded with federal funds should be politically neutral. He lamented that the diversity policies of the past had stagnated ideas and demanded that any further use of AI should not be influenced by ideology.
It\’s Not Artificial, It\’s Genius
Trump made a statement that he did not like the name artificial intelligence because he thinks that this technology should have a stronger name that reflects its true potential.
Indian Tech Industry May Be Affected
These changes are not immediate, but they have a precursor of darker seasons to come for Indian IT professionals in case Donald Trump returns to power, as there would be heavy scrutiny on outsourcing.
