Why Big Tech leaders aligned themselves with White House politics this year
About this episode
In January, we saw a who's who of tech leaders front and center at President Donald Trump's inauguration.
Since, the White House has advocated for the build out of AI infrastructure and put a moratorium on state-level AI regulation. But the Trump administration also added a $100,000 fee to petitions for H-1B visas, which are widely used in the tech sector.
To review the year in tech and Trump we called up Suyash Pasi, a research analyst and editor at the nonprofit Human Rights Research Center, who’s been following this shift.
