AMD CEO Lisa Su on the “Dead Sexy” AI Chips Race - On with Kara Swisher

How do we collaborate better with our customers faster? And that's Probably where we want to spend, like, the majority of our time. Where you'd like to spend more time. Yes, and also that would be our recommendation to the administration, frankly. We should spend the majority of our time thinking about how do we as a country go faster.

And yes, there's a piece of this that says, you know, we need to also protect our crown jewels. And we want to be part of that conversation. And the part of the conversation is, you know, these rules are actually very detailed. Like, they're not like... You can ship this and you can't ship that. They're a combination of what you think the crown jewels are.

And I don't think it's a question of should there be export controls. I think there's a question of where do you draw the line on export controls. And that's where... I'd like to believe that I can take off my AMD hat and put on my US semiconductor CEO hat and be helpful in that process of defining where to draw the line.

I don't know that it changed my thinking so much internally. I'll tell you what I believe. What I've seen time and time again in tech is that necessity is a mother of invention. If you put constraints on a problem, people will find a way to engineer around it. I'll give you an example. There was a time when AMD was much, much smaller. People used to say to me, Lisa, are you crazy?

How could you possibly... compete against Intel because they had 10x the people that you do. And I was like, you know what? It's not about how many people you have. It's like, do you have good ideas? And in some sense, we were constrained because we had less people. We had to out-innovate and come up with new ideas and a new way of doing things.
