"Chip Shortage Worsens: AI Data Centers and Electric Cars Compete for Limited Supply A growing trend in artificial intelligence is putting a strain on the global supply of memory chips, a crucial component in both AI data centers and software-defined vehicles. As AI data centers continue to expand, they are gobbling up huge volumes of memory chips, which are also desperately needed by the auto industry to power its shift towards electric and autonomous vehicles. The competition for these limited chips is escalating, threatening to exacerbate the ongoing semiconductor shortage that has already hit the tech and automotive sectors hard. With both industries relying on these chips to drive innovation, a solution to this supply chain conundrum is urgently needed."
Artificial intelligence data centers are using huge volumes of memory chips that the auto industry also needs for software-defined vehicles.
