Intel’s AI Reboot Is the Future of US Chipmaking
The biggest chipmaker in the US is hoping that generative AI—and US government concern about China's tech ambitions—will revitalize its business.

Gina Raimondo, the US secretary of commerce, spoke at Intel’s event today and compared the US government’s current focus on revitalizing its chip industry to the space race of the 1960s. “The fact that we are so overly dependent on a couple of countries in Asia that we need for life saving medical equipment, cars, every piece of technology, showed us, we’ve got to get back to work, making more chips,” Raimondo said.
