About this episode
Tim Culpan discusses Taiwan's AI industry and the implications of Computex on its future.
90% of the world’s AI hardware is manufactured in Taiwan; 90% of the world’s most advanced semiconductor chips (they power AI) is made in Taiwan. This gives us a sense of why AI is an industrial priority for Taiwan. Computex (June 2-5) is Taiwan’s flagship industry trade show. (Begun in 1986, it’s one of the world's oldest and largest computer trade shows.) Our guest today is technology columnist Tim Culpan . Culpan is the writer of “ Culpium ”, and a former writer at Bloomberg News where he spent 18 years - first as a technology reporter, then as a tech columnist. He's lived in Taiwan for 25 years and has launched his podcast “Supply Chained”.
