In this special episode, we sat down with Arthur Herman, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and director of the Quantum Alliance Initiative. He sheds light on the innovation race between the United States and China, the ongoing microchip wars, and where our data is actually going.
One area in the spotlight is the microchip wars. Herman expands on his Forbes column The Chip War With China Is Just Getting Started, saying: “We’re just getting started. First, in terms of getting our own semiconductor house in order by realizing how important it is to keep research and development to build a strong, homegrown semiconductor industry again, like what we had in the 1970s and in the 1980s, not depending upon foreign supply chains for those microchips. But also, secondly, … realizing that we have leverage in dealing with China and being able to deny them access to our expertise, to our designs, or to our innovations in semiconductor and microchip technology. But that’s just the start of what we really need to do if we’re going to have a strong and secure semiconductor industry in the United States.”…
