According to a CSET report, China's weaknesses in semiconductor manufacturing can be exploited through the use of export and investment controls.

The United States is expected to coordinate with other major chip-making countries that are allies to avoid a subsidy competition to land chip-factory investments according to CSET's Will Hunt.

The Biden administration hopes to turn the U.S. into a hub for microchip manufacturing with help from Intel, but to reshore chip manufacturing, the U.S. needs to attract foreign talent. According to a CSET study, the chip industry would only need around 3,500 foreign-born workers to effectively staff new U.S.-based factories.

In an opinion piece for the Council on Foreign Relations, Research Fellow Diana Gehlhaus discussed why the United States needs to make AI education a priority.

In an interview with DefenseOne, CSET's Ryan Fedasiuk and Will Hunt discussed efforts the U.S. can take to reshore semiconductor manufacturing after the House passed the CHIPS Act.

According to a CSET study, Chinese universities will produce more than 77,000 STEM PhD graduates per year compared to U.S. universities.

If the U.S. semiconductor industry expands with the passing of the CHIPS Act, about 13,000 new engineers and software developers will be needed in short order, and some 3,500 positions could be unfilled according to a CSET report.

Drawing from his CSET report "Silicon Twist," Research Analyst Ryan Fedasiuk shares how the U.S. can mitigate the Chinese military's acquisition of U.S.-manufactured AI chips in an interview with FedScoop.

In an interview with Inside Higher Ed, Research Analyst Jack Corrigan explains how university AI faculty staffing is unable to keep pace with student demand.

In this condensed version of his June 2022 report, written for Semiconductor Digest, John VerWey outlines how targeted investment incentives to increase U.S.-based advanced packaging capacity are also important for increasing semiconductor supply chain resilience.
