I’m Sam, I’m the curriculum director at Gregorio Perfecto High School in Manila, Philippines. I’ve been an educator and administrator for just over 25 years. Our school is spending a good amount on edtech, but I don’t feel like we’re getting the most out of it. I’d love to learn from everyone what is working for them. Thanks!

At a dinner with industry leaders, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang underscored Taiwan’s importance in the AI era. Huang pledged continued investment in Taiwan, calling it a vital market for his company. His remarks come after the company announced plans to build a supercomputer for AI research in Taiwan. The economics ministry has echoed Huang’s sentiment, saying that the AI industry could sustain Taiwan’s economy for decades to come.

At a dinner with tech industry reps, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said Taiwan would occupy a crucial global position in the era of AI.

Jensen Huang
Nvidia CEO
Artificial intelligence. And Taiwan is at the center of that. And so today I came to enjoy a nice dinner at one of my favorite restaurants with my friends and CEOs in Taiwan. And also to prepare ourselves for this new age of technology expansion that will be very good for Taiwan, because Taiwan is at the center of it.

Huang also said his company would always invest in Taiwan.

Jensen Huang
Nvidia CEO
Always investing in Taiwan, this is one of our most important countries. And of course this is the beginning of our company’s business because we build our wafer here, build our systems here and we also have partners that we go to market with here. 

Nvidia has already announced plans to launch a new supercomputer in Taiwan, called Taipei-1 for AI research. In the future, it may launch a second unit, the Taipei-2.

J. W. Kuo
Minister of economic affairs
AI chips and AI servers are two industries that could sustain Taiwan’s economy for another 50 years. As our GDP grows, it’s becoming clear that there is no shortage of foreign investment in Taiwan. As for China’s military exercises, I think there is no need to be concerned.

The minister of economic affairs says AI chips and servers could keep Taiwan’s economy running for half a century. He adds that the industry need not just rely on TSMC but on a group of tech firms that can act as a shield for Taiwan.
