SIA Statement on Biden Administration Action Imposing New Export Controls on AI Chips
January 15, 2025 | SIAEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) released the following statement from SIA President and CEO John Neuffer regarding the Biden Administration’s decision to publish an interim final rule titled, “Export Control Framework for Artificial Intelligence Diffusion.” This regulatory action imposes global restrictions and onerous licensing requirements on U.S. exports of advanced integrated circuits. Several regulations have already been implemented in recent years to control and restrict access to advanced semiconductors.
“We’re deeply disappointed that a policy shift of this magnitude and impact is being rushed out the door days before a presidential transition and without any meaningful input from industry. The new rule risks causing unintended and lasting damage to America’s economy and global competitiveness in semiconductors and AI by ceding strategic markets to our competitors. The stakes are high, and the timing is fraught. We stand ready to work with leaders in Washington to chart a path forward that protects national security while allowing us to do what America does best – compete and win globally.”

IPC Asia’s Talent Development Program Opens Pathways to a More Qualified Workforce
03/14/2025 | Evelyn Cui, IPC AsiaIn Asia, the contradiction between the rapid development of the electronics manufacturing industry and the shortage of talent is particularly evident. The existing talent pool cannot fully meet the market's demand for highly skilled professionals. According to feedback from industry companies, there is an urgent need for professionals with knowledge of IPC standards and practical skills in electronics. However, the reality is that most academic courses are disconnected from the actual needs of the industry, leading to disappointing results when companies recruit from universities and schools.
