AI set to turbocharge Taiwan's microchip industry | DW News

[@tehray3094]

Taiwan stands as a leading example of democratic values in Asia.

[@LaoNiu-yj6nw]

Taiwan has been walking back on democracy. It unjustly jailed the opposition party leaders.

[@EuroTravChannel]

In Taiwan, we cannot say "Taiwan is a part of China" without Taiwanese authority knocking on our doors.

[@EuroTravChannel]

You are so happy, long live Vietnam!

[@urimtefiki226]

There are more important things than Taiwan, like my family and my invention.

Keep Taiwan independent and democratic to keep the world's chips flowing

[@Mackcolak-xf5bk]

It is dependent on the US economically and militarily though.

[@JackC-e6i]

@@Mackcolak-xf5bk what's your point? So are pretty much all the rich countries around the world

[@Mackcolak-xf5bk]

@@JackC-e6i my point is that it is not independent. And most other developed countries do not depend on the US.

[@JackC-e6i]

@@Mackcolak-xf5bk well, your point is not correct and naive. Taiwan/ROC is independent. Developed countries depend on each other to develop economically.

[@Mackcolak-xf5bk]

@@JackC-e6i Please look for the Taiwan Relations Act and at least imagine what would happen to Taiwan if the US did not exist in this equation. It means that Taiwan developed so well because of chip contracts with US companies, mostly from them. If not for US protection, the CCP would have consumed Taiwan many years ago. So Taiwan is not an independent country it heavily depends on the US.

[@BossMugwump]

Taiwan is a self-ruled, independent democratically governed State, wholly different and freer than the CCP-ruled police state of China.

[@rollingdownfalling]

I was very surprised to hear at one time in Taiwan news that their presidents had to seek the US approval for their cabinet picks. This is not democratic. Unlike more independent countries like Germany, where the US has zero business in the country internal affairs such as who is going at which position. I am personally shocked at the US's heavy meddling in Taiwan politics. This is kind of like Ursula Von Der Leyen and Romania, she just meddled with another country's politics if it doesn't align with their political values which is undemocratic. Additionally, populism runs pretty high in Taiwan.

[@BossMugwump]

@ You have a good point but at the same time China pretends like Taiwan is just another province for the CCP, so quite possibly Taiwan may need other democracies to “meddle” in order to ensure its self-preservation(?)

[@Mackcolak-xf5bk]

It is dependent on the US economically and militarily though.

[@BossMugwump]

@@Mackcolak-xf5bk Even if that were the case it wouldn’t negate Taiwan’s self-ruled status and independence from the CCP one-party state; Taiwan elects its own leaders and has its own national identity.

[@Mackcolak-xf5bk]

@@BossMugwump yes, but without protection from the US it will already be taken by CCP unfortunately. So it can stay almost completely independent politically from China as long as it keeps dependency on the US. Also there is a strong pro-china party in Taiwan that can mess things up too.

Well..... if China wants to Annex Taiwan it sure has another huge incentive now.

[@Djursnerable]

Meanwhile EU has nothing. We have to step up.

[@Greycloud-m6b]

Yes, or more and more young European engineers are moving to U.S, China, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan because Europe has no platform for them.

[@JackC-e6i]

are you sure? I'm sure the EU has many high-tech industries that are just not front facing to the public. Just look at how much TSMC depends on ASML.

[@kevinbuda7087]

too much political turmoil to focus on the future. what a shame.

[@urbanstrencan]

Chip industry is going to be the thing in 2025, al the AI and new technologies will skyrocket chip production around the world

[@georgeageorgopoulos]

Germany,,,Super Computing, starts with LINUX,,,you get a super start into Computing!!! ;))

[@johnroberts9922]

AI has literally nothing to do with cutting edge production of microchips. Everything flows through ASML which develop the $400 million lithography machines. That company is running up against the boundaries of EUV. The next obvious improvement is X-rays, but EUV is already pushing the boundaries of the number of silicon atoms needed to insulate transistors.

[@eduardomeller6926]

ASML does not do anything without the Zeiss equipment. It is a very close relationship among few companies.

[@johnroberts9922]

@@eduardomeller6926 Exactly sir. I am so glad you pointed that out. Seven nations contribute the ten required additions to the ASML lithography machines.

[@dannydukes30]

Wouldn't new technology driven by new software new fabrication techniques and maybe new materials could all be with ai contributions . Man has created what's currently being used including ai to think for us and to do it better and faster than us will also be a big influence to the future of microchip fabrication . Just a thought

[@johnroberts9922]

@@dannydukes30 Perhaps AI could contribute, but I cannot think of a specific use case. ASML's 2nm lithography machines are perhaps the most complex devices we humans have ever constructed. There are 6,000 companies that contribute to the construction of those chips. It is an incredibly fragile ecosystem and TSMC's most impressive achievement is to manage the supply chain.

[@joshuathomasbrooks9450]

This conversation explains nothing new.. same old marketing told over and over..

[@譚國宏]

The ESMC can work closely with European technology companies to develop new and advanced chips for European local industry's application. So that the EU can great again especially the Germany. This is the key message of the interview.

@@izdotcarter actually I just checked what’s the contribution of GDP by TSMC, it’s only 4.46%. I don’t understand what you meant in indirect way of contribution.

How does tsmc not have a spokesperson who can speak English?

[@Metapharsical]

We're watching the same video?? I hear him speaking quite fluently

[@yanglee1404]

He doesn't represent tsmc. He is an analyst in technical trends, especially the latest development on Taiwan in electronics technology. He has nothing to do with tsmc.

[@JonProphet111]

Sir, Your English is not that great either. You should say: How is it that TSMC doesn't have a spokesperson who can speak English? Capitalization: "TSMC" should be capitalized since it's an acronym for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. This is a different use in their logo - small case tsmc. Verb Tense: It's more natural to use "is it" instead of "does" in this context. How does is more of a Chinese English.
