How Biden’s Pentagon plans to win back Silicon Valley and get the tech talent it needs, according to experts

• Experts say Biden is a fresh start for Silicon Valley and the Pentagon after rocky years under Trump.
• Biden’s policy changes and governance around tech usage could create goodwill among tech workers.
• Big Tech never stopped working with the DOD, even though AI ethics are a sticking point for its workers.

After four turbulent years for Silicon Valley under the Trump administration, the winds may be shifting with President Joe Biden in the White House.

There are signs that tech workers, who found a new voice during the Trump years, are ready to start anew with the federal government – and at a time when Washington needs them more than ever.

New technologies like AI and 5G will underpin the future of innovation, and national security officials have warned that the Pentagon can’t afford to drive Silicon Valley away.
