TSMC's C.C. Wei: the more AI tokens consumed, the more TSMC benefits
TSMC chairman C.C. Wei, speaking on October 16 at the book launch of former TSMC CTO Chenming Hu, said he used ChatGPT to prepare his remarks and urged people to use AI more. He said the more tokens AI consumes, the more TSMC benefits, drawing a direct link between end-user AI usage and chip demand. The comments were personal remarks at a public event, not company guidance or disclosed operating figures.
The chairman of the world's largest contract chipmaker framing AI usage as a tailwind underscores how AI compute demand has become a core growth driver for semiconductors.
