TAIPEI -- Supply constraints on AI chips will take about 18 months to ease, the world's largest contract chipmaker said on Wednesday, as companies continue to snap up the advanced processors needed to power generative artificial intelligence applications like ChatGPT.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Chairman Mark Liu said the squeeze on AI chip supplies is "temporary" and could be alleviated by the end of 2024.
