Ukrainians sue US chip firms for powering Russian drones, missiles
  • Ukrainians have initiated lawsuits against major US chip manufacturers Intel, AMD, and Texas Instruments, alleging that these companies have contributed to the supply of chips used in Russian drones and missiles targeting Ukraine. This legal action highlights the ongoing conflict and the role of technology in warfare.
  • The lawsuits could compel these companies to take more stringent measures in controlling their supply chains, potentially impacting their operations and reputation in the global semiconductor market. This situation raises questions about corporate responsibility in conflict zones.
  • This development reflects broader concerns regarding the accountability of tech firms in the context of international conflicts, particularly as similar accusations have emerged against Intel and AMD for their alleged negligence in preventing their products from being utilized in military applications against Ukraine.
