Lisa Su

Lisa Su is the CEO of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a major US semiconductor company. She is newsworthy due to several recent developments. Firstly, she was appointed to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, indicating her influence in shaping AI policy. Secondly, AMD secured a significant $60 billion deal with Meta for the supply of AI chips over five years, highlighting AMD's growing role in the AI industry. This deal underscores the substantial investments being made in AI infrastructure. Finally, the resilience of Hygon's chips (developed under license from AMD) to a recent AMD security flaw is noteworthy, reflecting China's progress in technological self-reliance. Su's leadership at AMD is therefore significant in the context of US technology policy, the global AI chip market, and US-China tech relations.
