AI in Semiconductors

🏆 17.1% of U.S. electronic component manufacturing is concentrated in just three California counties — Orange, Santa Clara, and Los Angeles — according to ALEX Intelligence’s new data report, published September 15, 2026. This level of concentration creates unmatched innovation density but also systemic risk. The U.S. semiconductor industry is not just growing — it’s becoming more geographically fragile. How do we build resilience without sacrificing the advantages of clustering?
