Christian de LooperChristian de Looper covers AI semiconductors. He has previously written for leading consumer technology publications, reviewing everything from audio gear and mobile devices to smart home products. Over the years, he has reported on the rise of 5G, the innovations that powered it, and the evolution of the AI industry, from consumer applications to the infrastructure that makes them possible. Christian holds a (somewhat irrelevant) Bachelor of Science in Music Technology and lives in Santa Cruz with his wife, two kids, and cat.
