AMD CEO Lisa Su Affirms Administration's Role in Accelerating U.S. AI Leadership

Washington D.C. – Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) CEO Dr. Lisa Su recently underscored the critical role of the current administration in fostering U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence. Speaking on the matter, Dr. Su stated, > "We're trying to accelerate AI leadership for the US. And certainly we think this Administration has done a lot for that... We're happy to be a part of this." This statement was made in the context of a high-profile gathering of tech leaders hosted by President Trump at the White House Rose Garden on September 4, 2025.

Dr. Su, a prominent figure in the semiconductor industry, has consistently advocated for robust U.S. capabilities in AI. Her remarks align with her prior testimony before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation on May 8, 2025, where she emphasized the need to preserve America’s leadership in AI technology development. During that hearing, she highlighted that AI is the "most transformative technology of our time" and stressed that U.S. leadership is not guaranteed in this global race.

The AMD chief has previously praised the administration's "AI action plan" as an "excellent blueprint" for supporting AI growth within the United States. This collaborative approach between government and industry is seen as vital for accelerating chip and system innovations, building robust domestic supply chains, and investing in talent to maintain a competitive edge in the global AI landscape. AMD, a key developer of high-performance computing chips, including those powering the world's fastest supercomputers like Frontier and El Capitan, is a significant contributor to this national effort.

While acknowledging the administration's support, Dr. Su has also previously called for a balance in policy, particularly regarding export controls on advanced chips. In May 2025, she noted that while national security is paramount, widespread adoption of U.S. technology is also crucial for U.S. jobs and the economy, stating, "There should be a balance between export controls for national security as well as ensuring that we get the widest possible adoption of our technology."

AMD's commitment to U.S. AI leadership and its collaborative stance with the government reflect the broader industry's recognition of AI's strategic importance. The company's ongoing advancements in AI-focused hardware are central to enabling next-generation AI models and applications, further cementing the nation's position in this transformative technological era.
