H-1B And Immigration Restrictions Could Doom Trump's AI Plans

Donald Trump's strategy to maintain U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence hinges on attracting foreign talent. A report highlights that immigrants have founded 65% of top AI companies in the U.S., emphasizing the importance of immigration policy. Without reforms to facilitate the retention of international students and skilled workers, Trump's AI ambitions may falter.

The executive order signed by Trump on AI lacks any mention of immigration, contrasting sharply with Biden's previous order that aimed to streamline visa processes for tech talent. This oversight could hinder the U.S. from competing effectively in the global AI landscape, especially as countries like China attract young engineers. The success of startups like DeepSeek illustrates the potential risks of not prioritizing fresh talent from U.S. universities.

• Immigrants founded 65% of top AI companies in the U.S.

• Trump's executive order on AI lacks immigration policy mention.

• DeepSeek's success highlights the importance of young engineering talent.
