Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) warns that it may not be possible to prevent China from obtaining advanced AI chips.
US export controls require chipmakers to restrict China's access to AI chips, but TSMC's role in the supply chain limits its visibility and information regarding the use of its products.
TSMC plays a significant role in the semiconductor industry, making it difficult to stop unintended end-uses of the chips.
This suggests that the US may not be able to effectively prevent the flow of advanced AI technology to China.
