台积电共同营运长米玉杰在一场学生职涯论坛中，将人工智慧比喻为拥有超能力却不知是非对错的三岁幼童，说明了台积电对导入此技术持谨慎态度的原因。

身为辉达与苹果的主要晶片制造商，台积电高度重视专有技术保护，特别担忧员工若未正确使用 AI，可能导致机密研发资料外泄或遗失，近期 AI 模型渗透外部系统的事件更凸显了相关资安风险。

米玉杰同时指出，AI 目前对推动次世代半导体技术（如先进晶片设计及 A14、A10 节点制程）的实际效益有限，因为现阶段制造瓶颈主要受限于缺乏适当的先进设备，而这并非 AI 所能协助解决。

TSMC Co-Chief Operating Officer Y.J. Mii compared artificial intelligence to a toddler with extraordinary powers that lacks the understanding of right and wrong, explaining the company's cautious stance toward adopting the technology.

As a key chipmaker for Nvidia and Apple, TSMC places paramount importance on safeguarding proprietary technology, particularly fearing leaks or data loss of sensitive R&D information if employees misuse AI, amidst growing industry concerns over AI security incidents.

Mii also noted that AI currently offers limited practical utility in designing next-generation semiconductor technologies such as the A14 and A10 nodes, where manufacturing progress remains constrained by equipment capabilities rather than challenges AI can address.
