Dean Ball, welcome to the show.

Thanks so much for having me.

Tell me a little bit about your time with the Trump administration.

When did you join?

What did you do there?

And why did you leave?

To give people a sense of the substance of the action plan and the substance of the executive orders, maybe talk about it this way.

What are the most important differences between the way that the Biden administration and the Trump administration thought about artificial intelligence?

One difference that I've observed is that Trump's economic centerpiece is his tariff policy.

And I don't think people appreciate just how many carve-outs and exemptions there are for artificial intelligence and the computer parts that go into the building of artificial intelligence in that tariff policy.

It is billions and billions of dollars, tens of billions of dollars of carve-outs.

So

AI isn't just exempt from the tariffs.
