The CEO of Intel resigned this week, likely with a push from the company’s board. We’ll take a look at the landscape for U.S. chip manufacturing on today’s “Tech Bytes: Week in Review.” Plus, Amazon is trying to make good on its net zero carbon emission pledges with a pilot to capture carbon at one of its data centers. But first, OpenAI announced this week it’s partnering with a military technology startup called Anduril. It’s just the latest AI company to get into the defense business. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Jewel Burks Solomon, managing partner at Collab Capital, about all these stories and more.

| 0:00.0 | The chips are down at Intel. From American Public Media, this is Marketplace Tech. I'm |

| 0:17.1 | The CEO of Intel resigned this week, likely with a push from the company's board. |
| 0:24.6 | We'll take a look at the landscape for U.S. chip manufacturing on today's TechBites week in review. |
| 0:30.7 | Plus, Amazon is trying to make good on its net zero carbon emission pledge, |

| 0:39.9 | Open AI announced this week. It's partnering with a military technology startup called Anderil. |
| 0:47.0 | It's just the latest AI company to get into the defense business. Here to discuss all that is |
| 0:53.0 | Joel Burke Solomon, managing partner at Collab Capital. |
| 0:57.1 | It's really important to note the founder of the company, Palmer Lucky. He's not a new person, |

| 1:56.7 | Right. So I understand Open AI changed its policies around collaborations with defense industry earlier this year. They had previously, you know, had kind of a prohibition against it, but changed the policy to allow for some military collaboration. But it still bars the use of OpenAI tech in weaponry |
| 2:23.0 | and something that is specifically going to be used in kind of an offensive manner. |
| 2:28.8 | We're talking about defensive applications here, right? |
