The Taiwan AI Academy Annual Conference kicked off on Friday in a ceremony attended by tech leaders and Vice President Lai Ching-te. In his address, Lai stressed that amid the current geopolitical trends, Taiwan is a reliable supply chain partner for artificial intelligence components. Also in attendance was Quanta Computer founder Barry Lam, who stressed that Taiwan stood to benefit greatly from the surge in demand for AI and cloud computing.
Vice President Lai Ching-te on Friday attended the Taiwan AI Academy Annual Conference. There, he discussed how the AI boom and the rising demand for chips and computing power could present big opportunities for Taiwan’s strong ICT industry.
Lai Ching-te
Vice president
AI is power. Amid the current geopolitical changes, the world is looking for reliable supply chains. Our window of opportunity will become bigger and bigger and allow our country to become increasingly powerful.

Taiwan’s AI action plan was started by Vice President Lai Ching-te. The emergence of OpenAI’s ChatGPT marks another chapter in the AI revolution.
At the conference, Quanta Computer Chair Barry Lam spoke on working with generative AI. He stated that the world was seeing the dawn of the era of AI, meaning that the next five to 10 years hold vast growth potential.

AI technology is national power. This is not an overstatement. It’s no hyperbole.
Lam said demand for AI servers and cloud computing will be high, indicating growth momentum in the second half of the year. He warned that the current supply chains were insufficient to keep up with the growth.
Barry Lam
Quanta Computer chair
I’m not worried about orders. I just want to have supply chains. It’s not like we can cook rice without rice. Demand is significant, but supply chains can’t keep up. We need to make adjustments to supply chains. Fortunately, they are all in Taiwan, which puts Taiwan in an advantageous position.
Lam voiced confidence in Taiwan’s AI server and cloud computing supply chains, but added that TSMC would continue to be Taiwan’s biggest geopolitical asset.

TMSC will continue to be the guardian of Taiwan. It’s thanks to their chips that we can have all these products. So TSMC will remain as Taiwan’s guardian.
Back on Wednesday, the U.S. Congress held a meeting with tech leaders to discuss AI regulations and set up protective measures against what could be a double-edged sword. Lam has a positive outlook on the technology, saying it can be harnessed to solve many problems. He says humanity will be able to find ways to address any potential side effects as the AI revolution gets started.

林百里稱"AI力即國力" 賴清德讚台灣供應鏈可信賴
2023-09-15
台灣人工智慧學校舉辦年會，副總統賴清德受邀致詞，強調台灣在地緣政治變化下，成為全球可以信賴的供應鏈，認同廣達董事長林百里說的"AI力即國力"。林百里受訪時也談到，AI伺服器需求大，而相關供應鏈都在台灣，台灣有相當大的優勢。
副總統賴清德出席台灣AI年會，他談到AI大爆發，需要晶片和大量運算，台灣ICT產業實力堅強，是很好的發展機會。

“AI力就是國力。地緣政治的變化，全世界也在尋找一條可信賴的供應鏈。我們的機會之窗，會越開越大，也從而讓我們的國力，會越來越強。”
[[國科會主委 吳政忠]]
“台灣的AI行動計畫，就是我們賴副總統開始。Open AI的ChatGPT出來，又是另外一波的人工智慧的浪潮。”
廣達董事長林百里在年會開講，強調"與生成式AI共舞"，目前是AI時代的黎明階段，剛開始的5到10年，有很大的成長空間。

“AI的力量就是國家的力量，這個話一點都不重，一點都不誇張。”
林百里說，AI伺服器和雲端需求大，足見下半年成長動能，但目前面臨"巧婦難為無米之炊"，供應鏈還趕不上。
[[廣達董事長 林百里]]
“訂單我是不愁，我只是要有供應鏈。我們是煮飯的，沒有米不行。現在很大了，但是供應鏈還趕不上，所以還要調整供應鏈，不過還好供應鏈都在台灣，所以我們台灣就有優勢了。”
對台灣伺服器雲端的供應鏈有信心，但AI可能成為下一座護國神山嗎？
[[廣達董事長 林百里]]
“護國神山的源頭，就是台積電，台積電做出來的晶片，我們才能夠有下面的產品，所以護國神山還是台積電。”
擔心AI雙面刃，美國國會議員13號召開論壇，討論立法規範，林百里正面看待，認為AI能解決許多問題，相信人類可以用智慧，解決相關副作用，因為AI革命時代，才正要開始。
