#127 AI vs Tariffs: Can Algorithms Rewrite Global Trade

Author: Venkata"Raghu Banda" May 23, 2025 Duration: 47:23

What if the smartest solution to global tariff problems isn’t economic policy—but artificial intelligence?

In this thought-provoking episode of XTraw AI, host Raghu Banda sits down with physicist-turned-AI expert Dr. Charles H. Martin to explore how deep learning models can help reshape trade decisions, optimize tariff structures, and bring radical transparency to global economics.

Key Highlights:

  • How WeightWatcher.ai diagnoses model performance—and how similar techniques can apply to tariff modeling.

  • The rise of algorithmic markets and what that means for global trade policy.

  • Can AI forecast, simulate, and even recalibrate broken economic assumptions?

Tune in to learn how the math behind AI could power the next big transformation in how we govern trade.
