THE BOOK OF THE WEEK

📚 At the “Responsible AI Book Club“, I recommend Chip war of Chris Miller.

Why this book stands out?
How supremacy in semiconductor manufacturing defines the global balance of power. The United States, China, Taiwan, South Korea, the Netherlands and Japan are locked in a quiet (and costly) race in which control over chips translates not only into wealth, but into military capability, surveillance power and digital autonomy. Read the review.
