Potential Foxconn-OpenAI partnership to deepen AI hardware-software integrated ecosystem
At Foxconn's earnings call on November 12, 2025, chairman Young Liu teased its collaboration plan with OpenAI, which will be officially announced at Foxconn's annual Tech Day on November 21, 2025. Leading the generative AI boom, OpenAI has massive computing infrastructure needs. In particular, the Stargate Project will deploy more than 17 GW of computing capacity over the next several years. Based on CEO Sam Altman's roadmap of adding 1 GW of compute per week, the market estimates that each 1 GW of compute is worth roughly US$50 billion.

Salesforce, the global enterprise software giant, hosted Salesforce Innovation Day Taipei on November 13, unveiling its latest agent-based AI platform, Agentforce 360, designed to help companies accelerate their journey toward the "Agentic Enterprise" era.

Former DeepSeek researcher Fuli Luo has officially confirmed her move to Xiaomi, marking a significant development for the Chinese tech giant's AI ambitions. Luo's recruitment is viewed as a strategic asset for Xiaomi, which has consistently prioritized lightweight AI models and edge computing over competing directly in large-parameter model scales.

Taiwan-based automotive software developer AutoSys Intelligent is broadening its horizons beyond self-driving cars. Building on its core expertise in autonomous driving systems, the company plans to extend its intelligent software and system technologies to drones, robotics, and other AI-driven platforms, marking the start of a multidimensional growth strategy.

Optical imaging solution supplier Ability Enterprises said tariff issues stemming from regional political tensions are gradually being resolved, allowing flexible adjustments across its manufacturing sites in China, Vietnam, and Taiwan based on customer demand.
The Chinese National Federation of Industries (CNFI) held its 79th Industrial Day celebration on November 11, 2025, in Taipei. CNFI is one of Taiwan's oldest and largest industry associations, with extensive membership and investments. At the event, CNFI's Rock Hsu and chairman Chun-jung Pan presented the 2025 CNFI white paper to President William Ching-te Lai.
Benefiting from the artificial intelligence (AI) boom driving strong semiconductor and server exports, Taiwan's economic growth forecast for 2025 has been revised up to 5.94% by the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research (TIER). Supply chains that caught the first wave of Nvidia-led AI demand have seen significant profit growth since the second half of 2023.
In 1950, Alan Turing asked, "Can machines think?" The question remains the same, seventy-five years later, and AI will play a major role in answering this question. Hailed as the AI godmother, Fei-Fei Li, Stanford professor and co-founder of World Labs, released an essay declaring spatial intelligence is the future of generative AI. Li explained what spatial intelligence is, why it matters, and how researchers can build world models capable of unlocking this ability.
Wieson reported significant gains in its third-quarter 2025 results, driven by heightened demand for connectors in artificial intelligence (AI) servers and high-performance computing (HPC) equipment. The company's entry into the AI supply chain contributed to improved operational performance and stronger order momentum, positioning it well for ongoing expansion in these sectors.
China's talent-recruitment efforts in South Korea's science and technology sector are entering a far more targeted phase. Under the Thousand Talents Plan (TTP), Beijing is reportedly running a personalized, data-informed campaign that draws on detailed insight into Korean researchers' pay, personal backgrounds, and academic environments. Korean media report that these offers, which include high salaries, substantial research budget,s and family-related benefits, have triggered concern across universities, state labs, and government agencies.
As 2025 nears its close, the global artificial intelligence (AI) boom is again prompting debate over whether the sector is entering speculative territory. From Silicon Valley to Wall Street and across China's tech and investment circles, comparisons with the 2000 dot-com bubble have intensified. With China now a central participant in the AI landscape rather than an observer, the debate has gained broader industry attention.

As one of the most demanding testing grounds for AI, autonomous driving technology has become a high-security laboratory where next-generation AI applications are forged. Analysts note that as much as 50 to 70 percent of the algorithms used in self-driving systems can be efficiently transferred to non-automotive fields, giving established players a distinct "spillover advantage" over newcomers. From Tesla to Chinese automakers and established brands in Europe, the United States, Japan, and South Korea, automotive AI is now extending into adjacent industries such as smart manufacturing, robotics, and unmanned aerial systems (UAVs).
