"So, with Trump coming back, tech leaders are bracing themselves for some major changes. They’re preparing for tariffs that could drive up hardware costs, which would definitely affect budgets—especially for companies that rely on foreign-made tech like laptops and smartphones. There’s also the big AI question. Apparently, Trump plans to roll back Biden's executive order on AI, which had set some rules to address privacy and security risks. A lot of tech companies are actually relieved, since looser regulations might speed up their AI projects. But there’s a trade-off too; now companies will have to navigate ethical concerns and potential biases on their own. It’s going to be a wild ride, especially with the M&A scene expected to heat up under a more deregulated environment. They’re all saying they’re ready to adapt, but it’s clear they’re a bit on edge about what’s coming."
