Deep Dive: How Taiwan Became the Epicenter of AI

from The Rundown · host Public.com

In today's deep dive, Zaid breaks down how Taiwan became the epicenter of AI. We cover the founding of TSMC, why AI made Taiwan borderline irreplaceable, the economic boom that has Taiwan growing faster than almost every country on Earth, why Nvidia is spending $150 billion a year there, and the geopolitical risk that has Washington warning of an "economic apocalypse" if something goes wrong.
