Deep Dive: How Taiwan Became the Epicenter of AI
About this episode
This episode explores how Taiwan became a central hub for AI technology and its implications.
In today's deep dive, Zaid breaks down how Taiwan became the epicenter of AI. We cover the founding of TSMC, why AI made Taiwan borderline irreplaceable, the economic boom that has Taiwan growing faster than almost every country on Earth, why Nvidia is spending $150 billion a year there, and the geopolitical risk that has Washington warning of an "economic apocalypse" if something goes wrong.
