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

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."
