MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The United States currently does not manufacture a single advanced semiconductor for artificial intelligence (AI) systems on its territory, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said on Saturday.
"Yes, we need manufacturing in America. Fundamentally, this is a national security initiative. The United States of America really makes no leading-edge chips on our shores today," Raimondo said at the Ronald Reagan National Defense Forum in California.
She added that even the chips marketed under the brand of US technology company Nvidia are all made in Taiwan.
Media reported at the end of October that Nvidia stopped accepting orders from Chinese enterprises for the manufacture of new chips due to export restrictions imposed by the US administration.
