Senator Young talked about CHIPS implementation and his goal of expediting environmental permitting for new chip factories. He also championed the bill’s ability to create jobs in the private sector, and improvements in national security. Young said that this legislation has helped places like Indiana who may have been neglected in the tech sector over the years. Young highlighted a 200 Billion dollar investment into what he called, “Frontier Technologies” which includes A.I. and quantum computing.
The panel lasted for an hour, though the Senator was only on stage for the first thirty minutes.
