The CHIPS Act of 2022 aims to significantly boost U.S. chip manufacturing, allowing the U.S. to compete with other countries when it comes to producing and developing artificial intelligence.
"You innovate across the supply chain, you'll innovate the manufacturing equipment that's used in the pads, you'll innovate how to operate the pads, you'll innovate the design of the chips," Klamkin said. "The U.S. needs to be vertically integrated in semiconductors. We can't just design the chips and write the software code."

The U.S. faces competition from rival nations for the possession of the kinds of chips necessary to power the research and development of AI models. The demand for semiconductor chips and microprocessors skyrocketed along with mainstream interest in AI models and platforms.
