TSMC says it has alerted US of potential China AI chip curbs violation

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) said on Tuesday it has informed the United States of a potential attempt by Huawei to circumvent U.S. export controls prohibiting the chipmaker from producing AI chips for the Chinese company.

The U.S. government restricted the export of high-end AI chips to China two years ago, citing the need to limit the Chinese military’s capabilities.
