AMD CEO Lisa Su's Whirlwind Visit to Taiwan Stirs AI Buzz Ahead of COMPUTEX

(CNA, Taipei, May 20, by reporter Wu Chia-hao) Chip giant AMD's Chair and CEO, Lisa Su, arrived at Taipei Songshan Airport this afternoon via private jet, kicking off a whirlwind visit to Taiwan. It is rumored that she has already met with TSMC Chairman Wei Zhe-jia this afternoon to secure more production capacity, but this has not been confirmed. With COMPUTEX Taipei set to begin on June 2, major figures in the artificial intelligence (AI) industry are successively arriving in Taiwan. After concluding the AMD AI Developer Day event in Shanghai, Su rushed to Taiwan. Upon exiting the airport, she only waved to the waiting media and left by car without taking interviews. According to sources, Su will participate in a full day of closed-door meetings at a hotel in Taipei City on the 21st, with no public schedule. Subsequently, on the morning of the 22nd, she will attend the "CommonWealth Magazine 45th Anniversary Flagship Forum" at the Taipei Marriott Hotel. She will engage in a high-level dialogue with media executives, deeply analyzing strategies under the AI wave, technological revolutions, computing power layout, and the connection between AMD and Taiwan's ecosystem. During the AMD AI Developer Day in Shanghai, Su pointed out that AI technology is entering its next inflection point, the era of Agents. AI will need to autonomously break down problems, invoke tools, and check results, making tasks more complex and requiring more powerful Central Processing Unit (CPU) capabilities. She expects that in the next 5 years, 5 billion people will use AI daily. (Editor: Pan Yi-ching)
