US chip exports controls have been a "failure", the head of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, told a tech forum on Wednesday, as the Chinese government separately slammed US warnings to other countries against using Chinese tech. Successive US administrations have imposed restrictions on the sale of hi-tech AI chips to China, in an effort to curb China's military advancement and protect US dominance of the AI industry. But Huang told the Computex tech forum in Taipei that the controls had instead spurred on Chinese developers. "The local companies are very, very talented and very determined, and the export control gave them the spirit, the energy and the government support to accelerate their development," Huang told media the Computex tech show in Taipei. "I think, all in all, the export control was a failure."

Nvidia has unveiled the latest raft of technologies aimed at sustaining the boom in demand for AI computing -- and ensuring that its products stay at the center of the action. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang on Monday kicked off Computex in Taiwan, Asia's biggest electronics forum, touting new products and cementing ties with a region vital to the tech supply chain. The CEO introduced updates to the ecosystem around Nvidia's accelerator chips, which are key to developing and running AI services. The central goal is to broaden the reach of Nvidia products and eliminate barriers to AI adoption by more industries and countries. Nvidia is keen to shore up its place at the heart of the artificial intelligence boom, at a time investors and some executives remain uncertain whether spending on datacenters is sustainable.

Computex 2025 is approaching, and it's sure to bring a ton of announcements about the latest chips, laptops, gaming devices and more from leading brands. The event in Taipei will kick off on Monday, May 19 with a keynote from NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang at the Taipei Music Center. There will be a livestream for anyone not attending in person, so you can watch along on the Computex website or YouTube channel. Huang's keynote is scheduled for 11PM ET/ 8PM PT on May 18 (11AM on May 19 in Taiwan Time), and we can expect to hear all about the company's developments in the AI space. It'll be followed that same day by a keynote from Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon. Computex this year will, perhaps unsurprisingly, focus heavily on AI, with the overall theme being "AI Next."

Tech expert Kurt Knutsson discusses how robots can milk, feed and clean cows on dairy farms, boosting efficiency and comfort. Jensen Huang, co-founder and CEO of Nvidia Corp., gives a talk in Taipei, Taiwan. MADE IN AMERICA: Nvidia on Monday announced plans to manufacture its artificial intelligence supercomputers entirely in the U.S. for the first time. RIDEABLE 4-LEGGED ROOT: Kawasaki Heavy Industries has introduced something that feels straight out of a video game: CORLEO, a hydrogen-powered, four-legged robot prototype designed to be ridden by humans. JOB-KILLER ROBOT: This semi-humanoid robot combines advanced manipulation capabilities with intelligent delivery features, making it a significant innovation in the service robotics sector.

A pair of studies analyzing the effects of AI on our planet have been released and the news is fairly grim. Greenpeace studied the emissions generated from the production of the semiconductors used in AI chips and found that there was a fourfold increase in 2024. This analysis was completed using publicly available data. Many of the big chipmakers like NVIDIA rely on companies like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co and SK Hynix Inc. for the components of GPUs and memory units. Most of this manufacturing happens in Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, where power grids are primarily reliant on fossil fuels.

China is using generative artificial intelligence (AI) to ramp up disinformation against Taiwan to "divide" Taiwan's public, the island's National Security Bureau said. Taiwan has accused China of stepping up military drills, trade sanctions and influence campaigns against the island in recent years to force the island to accept Chinese sovereignty claims. Taiwan strongly rejects China's sovereignty claims. China staged two days of war games and live-fire drills near the democratically governed island this month, triggering concern by the United States and many of its allies.

A growing body of literature has demonstrated that semantics can co-determine fine phonetic detail. However, the complex interplay between phonetic realization and semantics remains understudied, particularly in pitch realization. The current study investigates the tonal realization of Mandarin disyllabic words with all 20 possible combinations of two tones, as found in a corpus of Taiwan Mandarin spontaneous speech. We made use of Generalized Additive Mixed Models (GAMs) to model f0 contours as a function of a series of predictors, including gender, tonal context, tone pattern, speech rate, word position, bigram probability, speaker and word. In the GAM analysis, word and sense emerged as crucial predictors of f0 contours, with effect sizes that exceed those of tone pattern. For each word token in our dataset, we then obtained a contextualized embedding by applying the GPT-2 large language model to the context of that token in the corpus. We show that the pitch contours of word tokens can be predicted to a considerable extent from these contextualized embeddings, which approximate token-specific meanings in contexts of use. The results of our corpus study show that meaning in context and phonetic realization are far more entangled than standard linguistic theory predicts.
