Japan’s $10 Billion Investment in Chip R&D Could Challenge Taiwan Semi (TSM)’s Dominance, Report Says

We recently compiled a list of the 10 AI News Updates You Should Not Miss. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) stands against the other AI stocks you should not miss.

Latest reports, published by MIT News, suggest that researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a more efficient algorithm, called Model-Based Transfer Learning (MBTL), to improve AI decision-making in tasks like traffic control, which involves high variability. Reinforcement learning models, commonly used for AI decision-making, often fail when facing minor changes in their training tasks. MBTL strategically selects the most impactful tasks to train on, improving overall performance while reducing training costs.

For example, controlling traffic in a city involves numerous intersections with varying conditions. Instead of training separate algorithms for each intersection or one generalized algorithm for all, MBTL identifies and trains on a subset of key intersections. It leverages zero-shot transfer learning, allowing trained models to perform well on untrained, similar tasks. Per the report, this technique could revolutionize complex systems, reducing costs and improving AI reliability. The research received funding from NSF, Amazon Robotics, and others.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) makes and sells integrated circuits and semiconductors. Latest reports suggest that TSM could be one of those impacted by a recent Japanese government decision to allocate nearly $10 billion towards the research and development of chips and quantum computing. According to a report by news platform Bloomberg, Japan plans to rival American and Taiwanese dominance in chip manufacturing. A substantial portion of the award would go towards Rapidus, a Japanese chip manufacturer that aims to achieve mass production by 2027.

Overall TSM ranks 6th on our list of the AI stocks you should not miss. While we acknowledge the potential of TSM as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter timeframe. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than TSM but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
