AI in Semiconductors

🏆 38.2% of U.S. Electronic Component Plants Located in California, Texas, and New York — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. This staggering concentration reveals a critical vulnerability in the physical layer of AI. With nearly four in ten semiconductor facilities in just three states, the entire AI hardware supply chain rests on a narrow geographic foundation. One natural disaster, grid failure, or regulatory shift in California, Texas, or New York could ripple across AI training clusters and consumer devices. The AI revolution depends on silicon — but the silicon is too concentrated. This isn’t just a supply chain issue; it’s a national security and innovation risk.
