Every headline redistributes opportunity. Here is who this one rewards — and how to be on the right side of it.

This political friction creates uncertainty in the tech sector, making adaptability your most valuable asset.

You should prioritise understanding the ethical and legal dimensions of AI deployment, not just its technical capabilities. Upskill in risk management and governance frameworks to navigate this volatile landscape effectively.
