When AI competes for the same materials as automotive
A vehicle control unit and an AI server perform different tasks. In their manufacture, they can nevertheless depend on related input materials and shared production capacities. It is precisely at this point that a procurement risk arises: if material manufacturers orient themselves more strongly towards AI applications, this can influence the supply of other electronics segments. For automotive projects, the question then is how an approved construction can be procured reliably over the long term.
