The US is betting big on AI chips, but there's a giant flaw in the plan

• The Biden administration is subsidizing the semiconductor industry to boost US chip production.
• But the US doesn't have enough workers in the AI chip manufacturing sector.
• Universities can be a key place for recruiting new talent.

The US desperately needs more workers to build AI chips.

The semiconductor industry is responsible for building AI chips, but over the past two decades, the number of workers in American semiconductor manufacturing has dropped sharply, according to The Wall Street Journal.
