Taiwan to Usher in Golden Age of AI

Jensen Huang, CEO of American chip giant Nvidia, created a stir during his visit to Taiwan, sparking what local media dubbed "Jensanity." The 61-year-old tech leader was mobbed like a rock star, drawing crowds wherever he went.

Huang was in Taipei for Computex, Asia’s premier information technology show, where he met with top local tech figures, including Morris Chang, the legendary founder of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), and Taiwan's richest man, tech mogul Barry Lam.

During his two-week visit, Huang delivered a keynote at National Taiwan University, where he outlined his vision of a future powered by artificial intelligence (AI). “Everything is going to be robotic,” he told the audience, which included some of Taiwan’s most influential tech leaders. He predicted that factories would soon be run by robots, who in turn would build robotic products.

Huang emphasized that the role of information technology is shifting from just data processing and storage to generating intelligence across industries. “For the first time, the US$3 trillion IT industry is about to create something that can directly serve a US$100 trillion industry,” he said, referring to the vast potential of AI to reshape sectors globally.

Looking forward, Huang called for continued collaboration in the AI revolution, inviting industry players to join in building a thriving ecosystem together. With Nvidia’s strong ties to Taiwan and the ongoing AI boom, local businesses are set to benefit from this rapidly expanding sector.
