Taiwan plans AI projects to boost economy
TAIPEI: Taiwan plans to launch its "10 Major AI Infrastructure Projects" initiative, aimed at generating more than T$15 trillion in economic value by 2040 as it strives to become a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI). Premier Cho Jung-tai said in a Facebook post late on Tuesday that Taiwan aims to leverage its information and communications technology (ICT) sector and world-leading semiconductor manufacturing capabilities to become a global AI influencer and a "smart technology island". Under the initiative, Taiwan has identified three core technologies as strategic priorities: silicon photonics, quantum technology and AI robotics. Silicon photonics is a technology that Taiwan's TSMC , the world's largest contract chipmaker, and many other firms in the industry are actively developing. The government aims to position Taiwan as a global leader in silicon photonics by aligning the sector with future AI development needs. Taiwan also hopes to become a key hub for AI robotics by tapping its hardware and ICT supply chains. Industry groups, including one led by Foxconn chairman Young Liu, have backed the move with the formation of the Taiwan AI Robotics Industry Grand Alliance on Tuesday to support the local development of AI robotics and related ecosystems. The 10 projects also include the development of sovereign AI — ability to build and control domestic AI technologies — and computing infrastructure, efforts to balance AI development across different regions of the island and the introduction of AI across a wide range of industries. The initiative targets the creation of 500,000 jobs and the establishment of three international-level research laboratories. — REUTERS
