TSMC Chairman touts future of semiconductor development at SEMICON

Taipei, Sept. 6 (CNA) During the Taiwan “CEO Summit” forum at SEMICON on Wednesday, TSMC Chairman Mark Liu (劉德音) detailed a brief history of high performance computing developments over the past few decades and showcased how the company has facilitated such advances.

Since the IBM Deep Blue super computer defeated the world chess champion in the late 90s, Liu said, artificial intelligence has evolved to perform many more practical tasks, “such as facial recognition, language translation, or recommendations of movies or merchandise.” Semiconductor technology gets harder to develop, yet beyond the tunnel, many more possibilities lie ahead in the future.
