Congress passed the CHIPS and Science Act in 2022 to dole out $52 billion to expand domestic research and manufacturing of chips while simultaneously authorizing major increases to the budgets of federal science agencies. Those semiconductors are used for almost everything electronic, from powering artificial intelligence and laptops to guiding military munitions and drones.

But now, a lot of us are focused on supply chains. That new skill set is something that is going to take time to percolate through government.
