How a Niche Technology Became a Choke Point for A.I.
Advanced chip packaging has become a crucial technology for artificial intelligence, making the United States more reliant on Taiwan. The technology, which bundles multiple components into palm-size modules, has become a major choke point in the global contest for AI leadership. The US has lost leadership in this field to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, which dominates advanced chip manufacturing and packaging.
