In a week that saw nearly $10 trillion wiped from global markets, AI finds itself caught up in Trump’s “economic revolution.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since Trump presented his cardboard placard of tariffs last week, the market reaction has been brutal, and tech stocks are bearing the brunt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Apple shares have fallen nearly 20% since the tariff announcement, with the company heavily exposed to Chinese manufacturing. Tesla dropped another 5% on Monday alone, and NVIDIA similarly, now trading at 25% lower than the beginning of the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

AI’s spectacular rise has been built on the foundation of a borderless economy. The industry thrives on global supply chains \u2013 Taiwanese chips, Chinese assembly, European research centers, and American venture capital \u2013 all working in relative harmony.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Taiwan has been hit particularly hard, slapped with a 32% tariff that sent its stock market into its worst nosedive ever, plunging nearly 10% in days. By Tuesday, Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung was scrambling to arrange negotiations with the US, <\/span>telling reporters<\/span><\/a> they’re “ready for talks at any time.”<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s not just about semiconductors, which received a temporary reprieve from tariffs. The massive data centers powering ChatGPT and other AI services rely on a global supply network for everything from cooling systems to power equipment to construction materials \u2013 all primarily now subject to tariffs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Non-semiconductor components represent up to one-third of data center costs, Gil Luria of D.A. Davidson & Co. <\/span>explained to Fortune<\/span><\/a>, adding ominously that the semiconductor exemption “was not meant to be permanent.”<\/span><\/p>\n

China, meanwhile, has retaliated with its own tariffs while its state media produces AI-generated videos mocking Trump’s economic policies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
