US President Donald Trump again triggered a debate in global technology circles by calling on US technology companies to stop hiring from abroad, especially from India and China and focus on creating jobs for Americans at home.
Trump spoke at a high level of artificial intelligence (AI) in Washington on Wednesday and condemned “globalistic thinking” of technology companies such as Google and Microsoft, and accused them of using US freedoms in the construction of factories abroad and employing foreign workers. “As President Trump, these days are over,” he said, promoting a renewed feeling of “patriotism and national loyalty” in AI innovations.
The manifestation has triggered sharp reactions around the world, including India, where a significant part of the technological workforce is involved in American companies directly or through delivery models at sea.
In order to assess the consequences, we spoke with Vishwas Dass, a graduate of the public policy program of the institution of Takshass and an expert on technology and international policy.
Q1: Given the current abilities of AI India and China, what are the risks and benefits of the US that try to locate their entire ecosystem of AI development as mentioned in Trump’s “victory Race“Strategy?
According to Dass, Trump’s strategy represents a “victory in the race”, which proposes a complete location of the American AI development pipe, a double -kept sword for global innovations, especially for countries like India.
“If the US companies are enacted, they face operating and personnel disturbances. It pointed out that Indian IT companies actively respond by increasing local hiring in the US, establishing coastal centers in Canada and Mexico and expanding to AI in India.
While Trump’s pressure could temporarily dismiss the influx of remittance, 36 percent of Indian remittance in India in 2022 came from countries such as the US, Great Britain and Singapore, Dass believe that Indian strategic movements such as India and digital India startup can alleviate the wound over time.
He also noted: “The Indian IT sector generated $ 194 billion in 2022-23, contributing eight percent to GDP and employs more than 4.5 million experts. About $ 70-75 % of these income is based.
Q2: Could Trump’s emphasis on “America first” in the development of AI trigger retaliatory policies or technology departments from China and India and what would it mean for global AI management?
In response to this question Vishwas Dass explained that Trump’s “America First” approach could deepen the trends of the technology department and significantly change the global landscape AI.
“Export limitation in Biden is already limiting the approach of India to advanced AI chips, such as the H100 NVIDIA. Trump could double such policies, which further delays Indian AI infrastructure objectives, including Indiaai Mission, which plans to deploy 10,000 GPUs,” Dass said.
Dass, who quoted a message from India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA), warned that the limitation of chips could derail key projects of the data center. He also referred to AI Andrew NG that excessive restrictions may be reflected by getting Earth like India to build independent computing ecosystems and dilute American dominance in global AI.
Yet Dass emphasized the Indian countermeasures, including its £76 000 CRORE Semicon India program and strategic partnership within the framework of Ús and Trust with the USA and EU. “India determines the infrastructure for AI and semiconductor self -confidence, while ensuring geopolitical risk through diversified alliances,” he added.
He also pointed to Google’ai’s opportunity for India, estimating that AI could add an INR 33.8 Lakh Crore in economic value by 2030, and by 2028 he helped achieve a digital economy of $ 1 trillion.
Q3: How practical is the technical giants to rely relies on Indian and Chinese workers and infrastructure, due to their deep -rooted roles in data processing, AI training and research and development?
In the commentary on the feasibility of complete cutting of bonds with Indian and Chinese talent, she said that such a step would be “very difficult, if not defeat”, for American technology companies.
He created knowledge of the Technopolitik survey from the institution of Takshashil, which found that 21.7 % of respondents evaluated talent as more critical than infrastructure in the management of national power, while 53.4 % preferred open migration due to its role in attracting investments.
“India is no longer just a cheap service center, but it is the main node in the global AI and digital services,” Dass said. “Sudden wards would disrupt global pipelines for research and development and seriously affect technological diplomacy, especially because 45.4 % of the parties involved see the US as the most important technology partner in India.”

This means that DASS acknowledged that 95 percent of respondents supported the Indian development of the domestic semiconductor, suggesting a strong desire for self -confidence without interrupting international cooperation.
Trump’s renewed nationalist rhetoric on AI can strengthen the domestic sentiment, but experts such as DASS carefully against the views of the comprehensive interdependence of global technological ecosystems. “What we see is not just political speech, it is the point of flare in the ongoing global overwork of technological power,” Dass concluded.
India with its digital ambitions, demographic dividend and expanding research and development base stands at a critical moment. Whether he decides to respond with the defensive posture of the body or proactive management in AI administration will form his position in the global technology order for the coming years.
