Pax Silica

India’s joining the U.S.-led Pax Silica initiative is a significant step in securing advanced semiconductor supply chains for AI. This coalition, including nations like Japan and South Korea, aims for resilience and technological advancement. India’s participation strengthens the group, especially amidst global competition for AI hardware dominance. The U.S. sees India as a key partner for diversifying supply chains, not just to counter China. A new “concierge service” is also being piloted to streamline AI chip procurement for allies, reinforcing U.S. technological leadership in the AI race.
