The Taiwanese government recently held a briefing with 20 Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry leaders. According to a DigiTimes report on the event, which took place at a technology park in Taoyuan in the north of the island, Taiwan currently dominates the artificial intelligence (AI) server market. The numbers are both astonishing and concerning. Astonishing: the scale of the Taiwanese industry's success, having captured 90% of the global AI server market. Concerning: the potentially precipitous geopolitical situation, given that US-branded AI servers are 100% reliant on Taiwanese manufacturing.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) organized the meeting between government and industry leaders. Among the government representatives was President-elect Lai Ching-te, who is set to begin his term on May 20, and 20 ICT leaders. Among the industry heavyweights were trade association chairs representing electronics manufacturers, display makers, and PCB manufacturers - and chairmen of well-known companies like Acer and Quanta.
