Consequently, the U.S. is about to make the same mistake with microelectronics that we made with digital networks and software applications: Unless and until the government demands in-device security, our competitors will have an easy time of manipulating how chips function and behave. Nowhere is this more dangerous than our national security infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CHIPS Act of 2022 was signed into law on Aug. 9.
