Taiwan University, Department of Staff and Institute Professor Hongshao Hao said that in the past, Taiwan only rely on hardware, there are a lot of profits, but as technology matures and competition from mainland China more and more intense, hardware The profits have long been outweighed by the previous ones. This in turn has made the hardware advantage an antiquated burden on Taiwan's science and technology industry. To develop software is currently a challenge Taiwan must face.
Hongshi Hao further said that Taiwan's hardware talents used to have a place on the basis of practice, but it is a very important issue whether such a foundation can continue to be strengthened, extended and integrated with software to realize a complete application system. As more and more related departments begin to strengthen the proportion of software education, they mainly hope that they can gradually turn over the thinking that has been confined to the hardware so that students will be able to achieve the overall system.
Hongshao believes that the past, the semiconductor and current AI talent needs are very different, even in the past, there are software development of semiconductor projects, but mostly because of hardware needs, so R & D personnel only according to the hardware In addition, Taiwan's technology industry is based on foundry, so the autonomy of R & D personnel is not too strong, but in AI applications, this software is very complicated, and the autonomy of R & D requirements are also very high.
In addition, no matter what kind of AI applications, including self-driving, robots, etc., are likely to face the problem of hacking, and such applications more stringent requirements for information security.With the traditional information systems, for example, even if System vulnerabilities have been compromised and usually do not cause direct damage to the property and personal safety of the physical world. However, if the system vulnerabilities of robots are compromised, people with conscience can perform various kinds of improper operations through remote control technologies. People and personal property poses a threat to the safety.Moreover, compared to home consumer robots, industrial robots more destructive, more influential, so there is bound to be more stringent checks.For example, in the hardware and software, Add more keys. Such a security issue, but also to make the industry began to appear more personnel related needs.
