Total length of the course: <1 hour
AI's rapid advance is inseparable from the hardware that powers it, and understanding that relationship is increasingly essential for anyone working at the intersection of technology and policy. In this conversation, we discuss semiconductors and AI supply chains from Moore's Law and chip design to why governments are racing to regain control over key design and manufacturing processes. Finally, we step back to ask whether the 'arms race' framing for semiconductor supply is helpful, and where current regulation is failing to keep up.
