Qiu Qiuhui, Director of Industrial Technology of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, said that the Ministry of Economic Affairs will approve the artificial intelligence innovation R&D center plan proposed by NVIDIA in 2021, of which NT$6.7 billion will be subsidized by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and NVIDIA will self-raise approximately NT$17.6 billion. It is expected that It is planned to establish an artificial intelligence research and development center in Taiwan from March 2022 to March 2027 with a total investment of NT$24.3 billion.
When participating in the Free Times program “What’s the matter with me?”, Qiu Qiuhui emphasized that Taiwan’s semiconductor industry has advantages, and at the same time, it should also think about how to find Taiwan’s development strengths in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the industry, as well as software projects, especially in more than 90% of the artificial intelligence industry. Smart servers are manufactured in Taiwan. Taiwanese companies should work closely with the global market and highlight their own value, so as to exert greater influence and competitiveness in the global market.
In addition to revealing that NVIDIA will set up Asia’s first artificial intelligence R&D center in Taiwan and will also build Taiwan’s largest supercomputer, Qiu Qiuhui also stated that companies including ASML, American Applied Materials, and Colin R&D also have deep confidence in Taiwan’s development, and Continue to increase investment.
Regarding the current global wave of artificial intelligence, Qiu Qiuhui believes that Taiwan should simultaneously invest in the development of discriminative artificial intelligence and generative artificial intelligence technologies to respond to the different application needs of the technology industry, service industry and traditional industries, and achieve greater success by mastering artificial intelligence technology. market competitiveness.
