The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) released the following statement from President and CEO John Neuffer opposing the Chip Security Act (S. 1705/H.R. 3447).
“SIA members are fully committed to complying with export controls, and we strongly oppose the illicit diversion and misuse of our chip technologies. While we understand policymakers’ interest in addressing this issue, we cannot support blanket mandates for new, untested, and potentially infeasible on-chip mechanisms, such as what is being proposed in the Chip Security Act. Rushing to legislate complex, costly, and unproven security features risks undermining global trust in American semiconductor technologies and efforts to promote the export of the American AI technology stack, eroding our global leadership and competitiveness.
“Our companies work closely with government agencies, law enforcement, and other relevant stakeholders to prevent and detect illegal diversion and misuse of our products. We stand ready to engage with Congress to explore approaches to effectively address these risks, and to ensure American semiconductor technologies lay at the foundation of the global AI ecosystem.”
