A key company behind Thailand’s national AI effort is suspected of helping to smuggle billions of dollars worth of Super Micro Computer Inc. servers containing advanced Nvidia Corp. chips to China, with Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. one of multiple end customers, according to people familiar with the matter.
