Summary
The global economy heavily relies on Taiwan's semiconductor industry, with potential risks from geopolitical tensions affecting chip production due to the complex and costly nature of advanced chip manufacturing, which is centralized in East Asia.
The evolution of AI chips has transformed from military applications to commercial uses, with companies like TSMC and Intel playing pivotal roles in their development, driven by international supply chains that make self-sufficiency unattainable across regions.
U.S. regulations are aimed at restricting China's access to advanced chips to maintain technological leadership, while advancements in AI chip technology are expected to lower costs and enhance global economic impact, fostering innovation across various sectors.
