The AI revolution is a testament to the continued flourishing of high-tech competition and the importance of an antitrust policy that fosters innovation.

Policymakers should not attempt to reallocate innovative resources from large to small firms. Instead, Congress should pass the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024 and expand the R&D tax credit. These measures will incentivize firms of all sizes to continue investing in productivity-enhancing and socially valuable R&D.

China’s industrial strategy calls for gaining market share in e-commerce to expand its global influence, financial footprint, and ability to compete in AI. Policymakers should act now to avoid leaving U.S. platforms at a structural disadvantage and exposing U.S. consumers to harm.

A report by the IMF indicates that rising government debt in advanced economies results in a decline in economic growth, particularly affecting industries that depend heavily on research and development (R&D), such as high-tech industries.

Rather than adopt the European Union’s model for regulating competition, policymakers considering how to govern digital markets should carefully evaluate whether digital antitrust regulation is justified and consider whether concerns about anticompetitive behavior can be addressed with less intrusive and more cost-effective tools.

Canada’s path forward requires becoming a more productive trading nation that is less reliant on external forces and more capable of turning ambition into economic power. Walking away from the most consequential trade conversation of the next decade won’t get Canada there. It has room to negotiate with the U.S. and should use that leverage to secure the full and permanent removal of tariffs.

U.S. AI policy prioritizes training compute while overlooking inference—the compute needed to deploy models effectively. As AI progress shifts toward optimizing inference, policymakers must adapt by supporting global deployment, refining export controls, and promoting energy-efficient AI to maintain U.S. competitiveness.

At Arielle Roth's confirmation hearing, Senators worried reforming BEAD would cause delays—but the real holdup is fiber favoritism; embracing tech neutrality is the fastest way to close the digital divide.

If the United States wants to continue leading in the New Space Age, then Congress needs to act by passing legislation that provides direction and authority to swiftly and clearly approve commercial novel space activities.

Europe risks undermining its competitiveness in the AI race by heeding calls to extend the DMA to AI and cloud services.
