India, May 27 -- The whitepaper, Pax Silica: Chip to Grid - Opportunity to Lead in AI and Semiconductors, developed by Applied Materials and AMCHAM India, comes at a critical moment as India accelerates its ambitions around AI, semiconductors, and digital infrastructure.

The paper argues that AI leadership will not be determined by software capability or chip design alone, but by how effectively countries build and integrate the entire "chip-to-grid" ecosystem, spanning semiconductor manufacturing, compute infrastructure, clean energy, grid resilience, advanced materials, and critical supply chains.

Against the backdrop of rising global AI demand, increasing compute intensity, and growing energy pressures, the report positions India as ...
