The article discusses the potential impact of Donald Trump's second term on the Big Tech industry, focusing on issues such as antitrust regulation, AI legislation, and the future of the CHIPS Act. Despite a history of conflict with major tech companies, Trump's administration could bring less aggressive antitrust measures compared to the Biden administration, benefiting companies like Amazon, Alphabet, and Apple. Additionally, Trump's preference for deregulation might affect AI oversight, possibly favoring a more lenient approach. The CHIPS Act, aimed at boosting U.S. semiconductor manufacturing, may also see changes under Trump, with a possibility of accelerated funding and a focus on tariffs over direct support for domestic industry.
