Trump can’t keep China from getting AI chips, TSMC suggests

The semiconductor giant behind the world's AI chips is facing a tough dilemma as U.S. export controls limit its ability to track where its advanced chips end up, potentially allowing China to bypass restrictions and gain access to cutting-edge AI technology. Recently, TechInsights revealed that TSMC supplied an AI chip for a Huawei product in China, despite the company's cooperation with U.S. authorities, which has raised concerns about compliance risks. While TSMC has warned of recurring violations and potential national security risks, it remains unclear how to prevent them, highlighting the ongoing tension between U.S. sanctions and global tech collaboration.
