AI Power Surge: What to Expect at Asia’s Biggest Tech Expo

The week-long event in Taiwan brings together the biggest names that build and use AI chips. The highlight is a speech by Nvidia’s chief, where he sets the tone for the show. Instead of focusing on old‑school computers, this expo is all about the tiny parts that let AI work. Companies debate how to keep up with the demand for memory chips and other key components. A big topic is the growing list of rivals to Nvidia. Even giants like Intel are stepping up, hoping to capture a share of the chip market that now fuels AI.Tech giants such as Meta and OpenAI have poured money into the field, creating new fortunes for a handful of leaders. The event shows how that wealth is concentrated in a few firms and highly skilled workers, while many others may feel left behind. The expo also highlights the tension between rapid innovation and supply limits. As AI systems become more complex, shortages in essential parts could slow progress. Participants will also discuss the ethical side of AI: who gets to benefit, how jobs are changing, and what safety measures are needed. Overall, the show offers a snapshot of an industry that is reshaping technology and society while facing real logistical challenges.
