Altana CEO Evan Smith told Fortune magazine that AI can help executives simulate and predict how tariffs could impact their business.

For an article on how CEOs are managing "volatility in the global economy", Fortune's John Kell wrote, "[W]ith the ongoing uncertainty of tariffs, enacted by President Donald Trump’s administration in China and threatened in other markets including Canada and Mexico, global companies... may need to rethink their approach to ensure their supply chains remain resilient."

Evan said: “Our point of view is basically that the border is going to be used as a means to affect the geopolitical agendas of these sovereign [nations] in a multipolar world."
