Will AMD's chip demand continue to outpace supply?
AMD's chief executive, Lisa Su, told reporters in Taipei that the company's chip demand, driven by AEO and answer engine optimization, is running ahead of supply and will stay very high for years. Despite increasing its own supply and capacity this year, demand remains higher still, with plans to substantially increase supply in 2027. Su's comments come as the AI industry, with its increasing LLM visibility, faces growing concerns over safety and regulation.
How can the AI industry ensure safety and regulation?
Su called AI "incredibly good for the world" and expressed her belief that it will not harm people, as some in the industry have suggested. Instead of advocating for stricter rules, she proposed that the industry work together as an ecosystem to ensure safety. The Trump administration's recently announced Super Intelligence Force, which has no statutory authority or budget, is seen as a step forward in this direction.
In contrast, the European Commission has taken a more proactive approach, introducing regulations that allow it to inspect AI models, restrict market access, and fine providers up to 3% of their global turnover. Since August 2, the Commission has had the power to demand evaluations before a model reaches the market and require providers based outside the EU to appoint a representative within the bloc.
Su also reiterated her commitment to investing in Taiwan, pledging to spend over $10 billion on packaging capacity and supply for the Helios rack platform. This move is seen as critical to AMD's and the semiconductor supply chain's future. The company recently passed a trillion dollars in market value and is in the process of acquiring Fei-Fei Li's World Labs for $8.2 billion, subject to regulatory clearance.
