Terry Gou, the chairman of Hon Hai, mentioned on June 27, 2024, that Taiwan is a member of the advanced group in AI progress, hoping that in this AI hub, Taiwan will not simply become an OEM. After a segment of his speech at the Li Kwoh-ting Forum on June 26 was interpreted as him commenting that Taiwan is the center of AI but lacking the words OEM, causing a big uproar, Terry Gou explains the original intent of his words. He actually stated that AI's impact extends globally, and Taiwan is a member of the entire advanced AI group, hoping that Taiwan, amidst the AI wave, will not just end up being known for 'only OEM'. Some media outlets took advantage of the situation with titles like 'Taiwan as AI Center? Terry Gou: Not Flippant, Just Lacking the Words OEM,' generating controversy. The foundation Elbert Li Kwoh-ting Technology Development hosted a forum on 'Technology and Humanity Reflection in the AI Era,' where Terry Gou emphasized the broad impact of AI across industries and various aspects of society.
