Artificial intelligence takes center stage this year, with leading tech companies unveiling their latest advancements. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is scheduled to deliver the opening keynote at the Taipei Music Center, where he is expected to showcase the company's newest AI technologies, including AI server systems, cloud computing solutions, and robotics innovations.
