Silicon Valley is preparing for significant changes as the new administration takes office, with potential reversals of policies implemented by the previous administration.

One area of focus will be artificial intelligence, where there may be a dismantling of safety measures put in place by executive order. This could result in a less regulated environment for AI development.

In terms of antitrust, there is an expectation of a more relaxed approach to merger oversight, which could alleviate concerns for major tech companies. Furthermore, there is skepticism from the new administration regarding a bipartisan initiative aimed at boosting domestic semiconductor production through government investment, suggesting a possible reevaluation of the current strategy in the tech sector.
