Chris Miller is the author of the New York Times Bestseller "Chip War." Everyone is talking about technologies like Artificial Intelligence and self-driving vehicles. However, all these technologies, along with global political and military developments, are heavily dependent on microchips. For most people, microchips are entirely invisible, yet they have a world-changing impact. Only a few countries and companies are capable of designing and manufacturing modern chips. This capability plays a vital role in innovation, product development, and even for military purposes. The design of microchips will also determine the use of Artificial Intelligence and who has the ability to develop such innovations. The interview specifically addresses Germany's position in this vital competition.

Tune in and discover the world-shaping but almost invisible influence of microchips!

Enjoy listening!

This capability plays a vital role in innovation, product development, and even for military purposes. The design of microchips will also determine the use of Artificial Intelligence and who can develop such innovations in the first place. In the interview we also focus on Germanys role in the chip industry.
