AI in Semiconductors

What does a campus key policy have to do with AI chip security? A lot—when you realize that physical access control is now a critical layer in the hardware stack. Georgia Tech’s upcoming ServiceNow-only key system, effective January 4, 2027, isn’t just about convenience—it’s a strategic move to audit, track, and secure access to facilities that house AI and semiconductor R&D. This shift reflects a broader truth: as AI hardware becomes more sensitive and isolated, physical access is no longer a backdoor—it’s a front-line security requirement. The fact that even temporary workers need formal affiliate status shows how tightly access is being tied to identity and approval. This isn’t just policy—it’s infrastructure resilience.
