Right now it needs to have Rosetta installed and configured to work... Can you make sure it's installed and configured in your machine?

I was facing the same issue.

Right click on the application icon where you installed it. Click on Open with Rosetta and restart your computer.
Refer to the article below- https://medium.com/@lorenzozar/how-to-install-rosetta-on-mac-53c74391d2f5
Dont forget to restart your computer.
Open your VS Code, now it will prompt to install Rosetta before you can open your application. Follow the steps. Then boom. You can install the Sema4 extension on Apple Silicon.
