TAIWAN – Lifelike "digital humans" that will serve as everything from your nurse to your interior decorator. Virtual fashion models. A digital simulation of the entire earth. Those were just a few of the products and ideas floated by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during his keynote address at the 2024 Taipei International Information Technology Show, better known as Computex. Huang enthralled a packed house with the claim that the world has entered a "new industrial revolution.
Huang ended his address with a tribute to Taiwan, "the unsung hero of the coming AI industrial revolution." His praise for his birthplace of Taiwan was, of course, popular with the crowd and those watching the livestream of the event, but Huang has used both words and deeds to demonstrate his sincerity.
