The 2 may also conduct collaborative analysis to search out options to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in chips, also referred to as ‘ceaselessly chemical substances’.
Involved about China’s market dominance in legacy chips, which energy on a regular basis applied sciences from washing machines to vehicles, the US and EU are extending current agreements for 3 years to probe semiconductor subsidies and potential provide chain disruptions.
In a joint assertion printed right now (5 April), the US and EU stated they share “issues” about non-market financial insurance policies and practices which will result in “distortionary results” or “extreme dependencies” for legacy chips.
“We intend to increase the 2 administrative preparations for a interval of three years to allow additional coordination and to determine synergies between our assist for investments within the semiconductor sector going down underneath the EU Chips Act and the US CHIPS Act,” the assertion reads.
“Each the EU and the US are dedicated to persevering with to have interaction carefully with business on the difficulty. We plan to convene additional government-to-government discussions with likeminded nations on this matter within the close to future.”
At the moment engaged in a chip battle with China, the US not too long ago launched an business survey to evaluate the usage of legacy chips in provide chains that instantly or not directly assist its nationwide safety and significant infrastructure. The EU additionally stated it’s gathering data on the difficulty.
“We intend to, as applicable, proceed to gather and share non-confidential data and market intelligence about non-market insurance policies and practices, decide to seek the advice of one another on deliberate actions, and will develop joint or cooperative measures to handle distortionary results on the worldwide provide chain for legacy semiconductors.”
The 2 may also conduct collaborative analysis – together with with the usage of developments in AI – to search out appropriate options to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in chips. Often known as ceaselessly chemical substances, PFAS don’t readily break down and could be detrimental to human well being.
“For instance, we plan to discover the usage of AI capacities and digital twins to speed up the invention of appropriate supplies to switch PFAS in semiconductor manufacturing.”
Earlier right now, a brand new report by Microsoft claimed that China is trying to affect the upcoming US presidential election with the usage of pretend social media accounts and AI-generated content material.
