TAIPEI, May 15: Semiconductor manufacturers announced new expansion plans this week as demand for artificial intelligence processors continued to accelerate worldwide.
Technology firms are investing billions of dollars into advanced chip production to support AI data centres, cloud computing and automation systems. Industry experts warned, however, that supply chain pressures and rising energy costs could affect manufacturing timelines.
Governments in Asia, Europe and North America are also increasing incentives to strengthen domestic semiconductor industries.
Analysts believe competition between major chipmakers will shape the next phase of AI development globally.
