Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has said it alerted the US government to a potential attempt to have it manufacture artificial intelligence chips for Chinese technology group Huawei in circumvention of export controls.
臺積電(TSMC)表示其曾經向美國政府發出警示，稱有人試圖委託該公司爲中國科技集團華爲(Huawei)製造人工智慧(AI)晶片，以規避出口管制。
The Information, a technology news publication, reported last week that the Department of Commerce was investigating whether TSMC had been violating US export controls by making AI or smartphone chips for Huawei.
科技新聞刊物《The Information》上週報導稱，美國商務部正在調查臺積電是否違反了美國的出口管制，爲華爲製造AI或智慧型手機晶片。
TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, said it had itself brought the issue to Washington’s attention.
身爲世界最大代工晶片製造商的臺積電表示，它自己早已向美方報告這件事，希望引起華盛頓方面的注意。
