Really though AI is nowhere near the media hype as it currently exists. AI can help certain analysis or attempt predictions but it can’t do experiments. Automated lab systems are expensive and finicky as hell and not cross compatible to the point that even industry doesn’t use them too much. Academia supported primarily by NIH, getting gutted by Republicans so expect it to take even longer assuming this lab manages to stay funded and extant through this administration.
The NIH supports global research especially in the context of clinical trials.
Already Germany and other European countries are having to increase defense spending which means budgets being squeezed elsewhere.
There are also scientists moving out of the US to places with less anti intellectual tendencies like Germany. That means more competition for funding in Germany.
Just because there’s no direct effects doesn’t mean there are no effects.
Short answer, no. Long answer, nooooooo.

Well, I doubt Bavarian academia would be supported by a US agency or primarily affected by the US government implosion.
There are domino effects.
