Discussing AI demand in Beitou-Shilin Science Park, Jensen Huang says: 'No energy, no economic growth'

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang was interviewed tonight after dining with his family at the private restaurant 'Chun Jiu' in Taipei. When asked whether Taiwan's energy infrastructure is sufficient to meet the future AI data center needs of the Beitou-Shilin Science Park (Beishike), he stated bluntly that Taiwan needs more energy, adding, 'No energy, no economic growth.' Huang explained that Taiwan's manufacturing sector is growing strongly, and global demand for Taiwan's chips and computers is also very strong. Coupled with the need to build more AI data centers, Taiwan requires more energy. He also revealed that he will have dinner with TSMC Chairman C.C. Wei tomorrow night and is scheduled to visit Quanta executives on Wednesday. Huang began his third day of his Taiwan trip today. During the day, he and his family went to the Siping commercial district in Taipei to buy preserved fruits, followed by a meal at 'Wang Ji Fucheng Rice Dumplings' on Bade Road, where he showed his approachable side by taking photos with fans. By evening, Huang's family, including his parents and daughter, arrived at the private restaurant 'Chun Jiu' in an alley off Zhongshan North Road. During the meal, Huang appeared at the restaurant entrance several times to hand out hot cinnamon rolls to fans and media present, reminding them in Taiwanese, 'It's hot!'
