Are we ready for the future that IT giants intend to create?
Taiwanese tech giant Foxconn and US company NVIDIA have announced a partnership to create "artificial intelligence factories" — powerful data centers that will drive the production of next-generation products, including electric vehicles.
Foxconn, officially known as Hon Hai Technology Group, is the world's largest electronics manufacturer and plays a key role in assembling devices for the world's leading brands, including Apple's iPhone.
But the company has ambitions to go beyond electronics assembly and even embrace the competitive but fast-growing electric vehicle business by unveiling concept cars at the Hon Hai Tech Day event.
This year, Chairman Yang Liu u launched Hon Hai Tech Day with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang to introduce "a new class of data centers that support a wide range of applications."
"Together, we will help the entire industry move much faster into the new era of artificial intelligence," Liu announced on stage alongside Huang.
NVIDIA has made a name for itself in the development of graphics processing units (GPUs), a powerful chip technology that was originally the basis of modern video games, but has now become a crucial link in the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence.
According to an NVIDIA spokesperson, the "factories" will include " digitization of production and control workflows, development of electric vehicles and robotic platforms based on artificial intelligence, as well as a growing number of language-based generative AI tools." Jensen Huang said Foxconn "has the necessary expertise and scale to build AI factories around the world."
If the initiative succeeds, Foxconn customers will be able to use systems to deliver generative AI-based services and use simulations to train autonomous machines such as industrial robots and driverless cars.
The announcement comes a day after the US tightened restrictions on the export of advanced chips to China, which could hit Nvidia, which supplied its chips to China — the main supplier base for many contract electronics manufacturers, including Foxconn. Nvidia shares fell on Wall Street on Tuesday.
