Artificial brains threaten to outnumber real ones in Taiwan, as the island's prowess in artificial intelligence (AI) continues to grow. “Taiwan has a lot going for it with AI research,” says William Foreman, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Taipei. Salaries in Taiwan for AI research probably equal one-fifth of U.S. counterparts, says Jamie Lin, founding partner of AppWorks Ventures, a startup accelerator in Taipei. “Taiwanese universities are constantly ranked among the top in terms of generating AI research results,” Lin says. Taiwanese information services firm Systex Corp. will provide anti-money laundering technology to Graphen as the American startup develops artificial intelligence.
