Our world runs on computer chips. From the chips that run new cars to the chips that help your phones and computers process information to the microchips that help track lost animals, there’s very few aspects of modern human life that are not touched by chips. As a result, there’s a huge and consistent push to make better and more innovative chips as fast as possible—sometimes by any means necessary. And apparently, that sometimes means taking a portion of the design control out of human hands.
