(Central News Agency reporter Liu Qianling, Taipei, 26th) Qiu Qiuhui, director of the Industrial Technology Department of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, said today that the government has actively invited major international AI companies to invest in Taiwan, and recently facilitated Huida to establish Asia’s first R&D center in Taiwan and the largest in Taiwan. Supercomputer; He analyzed that foreign businessmen are willing to increase their investment in Taiwan because of its advantages in talent and industrial clusters. This is why ASML, American Applied Materials and Colin R&D continue to have confidence in Taiwan.
After the advent of ChatGPT, AI applications are everywhere. Qiu Qiuhui said today in the Free Times “What’s the matter with me” program that first of all, Taiwan’s semiconductor industry has advantages. In addition to semiconductor manufacturing, we must also think about how to develop from the upper, middle and lower reaches of the industry, as well as the software end. Highlighting Taiwan’s semiconductor strengths.
Qiu Qiuhui pointed out that more than 90% of AI servers are manufactured by Taiwanese manufacturers. How to ensure competitive advantages in the information and communications field and develop related technologies such as heterogeneous packaging and heat dissipation can help Taiwan maintain its leading position. In addition, Taiwan has rich experience in the development of manufacturing, biomedical and other industries and has unique domain knowledge. It should extract AI data learning technology to achieve experience inheritance and market AI systems around the world.
In terms of international cooperation, Qiu Qiuhui said that Taiwan is an indispensable partner for the global semiconductor industry. The government actively invites major international AI companies to invest in Taiwan, and recently facilitated NVIDIA to come to Taiwan to set up Asia’s first R&D center and establish a Taiwan-wide The largest supercomputer will help increase the AI R&D capabilities of research institutions, startups, and small and medium-sized enterprises, and will also allow domestic and foreign manufacturers to collaborate more closely in IC manufacturing and AI R&D.
Qiu Qiuhui further pointed out that foreign businessmen value Taiwan mainly because of its three major advantages: hardware equipment, infrastructure and Taiwanese talents. Among them, Taiwanese employees are highly professional and work disciplined, and the semiconductor ecosystem is very complete. Information and communication manufacturers are globally competitive. Huida’s choice to invest in Taiwan is attractive.
He said that Taiwan and major international manufacturers have become a community of interests, which will not only ensure Taiwan’s national security, but also drive supply chain manufacturers to invest in Taiwan, including ASML, Applied Materials and LAM Research), the world’s top three semiconductor equipment giants, shows that foreign businessmen still maintain a high degree of confidence in Taiwan despite geopolitical changes.
The global AI wave continues to advance. Qiu Qiuhui believes that Taiwan should simultaneously invest in the research and development of discriminative and generative AI. Whether it is high-tech, service industry, or traditional industry, AI can create new opportunities. “Whoever can master AI can master the next step.” generational competitiveness.”
He took the distant-water fishery as an example. In the past, manually piloted helicopters were used to monitor the location of fish schools. Now, AI and drones can be used to assist distant-water fishing vessels in finding fish schools, greatly improving efficiency and safety. In addition, some egg-processed food manufacturers have introduced AI technology to greatly improve the accuracy of egg screening through big data learning. (Editor: Pan Yijing) 1130426
