Already positioned at the center of the global semiconductor industry, Taiwan now wants to make itself a hub for innovation in advanced artificial intelligence. The island nation’s new leadership, in place since May 2024, has taken a number of steps to help the country take better advantage of the AI that its chips enable.

The fruits of the effort are starting to show. Electronics manufacturing giant Foxconn is building the country’s biggest AI supercomputer ever, using Nvidia’s latest chips. But Taiwan’s AI effort hinges on it finding enough skilled workers to do the job.

The island nation is confronting some pressing challenges—a declining birth rate of approximately 5.81 births per 1,000 people, an aging population, and rising geopolitical tensions in the Indo-Pacific. So leveraging AI for economic growth and sustainability has become increasingly vital, according to vice president Bi-khim Hsiao.

“AI can help us develop new solutions more quickly and efficiently, becoming another key engine for economic growth,” Hsiao said at an AI and sustainability forum in July.

台灣 AI 發展計畫：打造全球創新樞紐

已經位居全球半導體產業核心的台灣，現在正致力於成為**先進人工智慧（AI）**的創新中心。自 2024 年 5 月新政府上任以來，台灣已採取多項措施，以更好地利用本土晶片技術推動 AI 發展。

這些努力已開始顯現成果。電子製造巨頭 鴻海（Foxconn） 正在建造台灣有史以來規模最大的 AI 超級電腦，採用 Nvidia 最新晶片。然而，台灣 AI 產業的發展仍取決於是否能找到足夠的技術人才來推動相關工作。

台灣正面臨幾項重大挑戰，包括出生率下降（每千人約 5.81 人）、人口老化，以及印太地區地緣政治緊張局勢升溫。因此，台灣副總統 蕭美琴 表示，利用 AI 促進經濟成長與永續發展已變得愈加重要。

「AI 能夠幫助我們更快速且高效地開發新解決方案，成為推動經濟成長的另一個關鍵引擎，」蕭美琴在 7 月的 AI 與永續發展論壇上表示。
