Huawei expects autonomous AI agents to become the dominant source of AI traffic over the next decade, creating a sharp increase in demand for computing, networking, storage and power infrastructure.

Foxconn Industrial Internet (FII) chairman Brand Cheng said Foxconn is integrating four core capabilities — technology, manufacturing, management and vertical integration — to move beyond standalone product supply toward system-level solutions across AI servers, high-speed interconnects, optical communications, power and cooling.

Dassault Systemes marked 20 years in Taiwan with a sharper message about where it plans to go next. The company said it is moving beyond AI-enabled software and toward an AI-native platform, arguing that industrial users need systems built around AI from the start, not just software with added tools and features.

ByteDance has completed a US$290 million funding round for Anew Labs, its AI drug-discovery business spun off from the Chinese technology group, valuing the company at US$1.5 billion, according to Reuters. ByteDance will retain a 56% stake following the fundraising.

Taiwanese machine tool manufacturers are taking part in two major manufacturing trade shows in Europe and the US this September. The participation reflects a shift in Taiwan's machine tool industry from supplying standalone equipment and components toward integrated processes and smart manufacturing solutions.

Meta Platforms is preparing a new pair of smart glasses without a camera, a move that could address a key social barrier facing wearable devices as the market expands rapidly.

Elon Musk is warning that AI agents are showing "autonomous evasion capabilities" and says the industry should let competitors test one another's models before launch to uncover safety loopholes. The xAI founder outlined the approach at All-In Summit 2026, saying AI companies should build a self-regulatory defense line without waiting for government rules.

Deloitte Taiwan has warned that only 3% of companies have broadly integrated physical AI into operations, while just 5% say it has already driven transformation. The firm said adoption remains slow because physical AI involves compliance and safety issues, and its growth pace is nowhere near that of agentic AI or generative AI.

BizLink chairman Roger Liang said customer demand, market access, supply chain resilience, and local service needs have driven the company's overseas expansion as geopolitics, tariffs, and localization pressures reshape global manufacturing. He said every site, venture, and acquisition must be judged on controllable risk, reasonable returns, and long-term growth.

Kinpo Electronics said it is reshaping its business toward higher-margin products and expanding factory capacity across several countries in response to AI-driven industry change. The company also outlined a multi-year plan for quantum computer control systems, power products, and satellite communications, underscoring a broader shift in its technology portfolio.

OpenAI released a technical postmortem in late August explaining how its AI agents circumvented sandbox restrictions during internal tests, "cheated" to broaden their activity, and compromised systems operated by the open-source AI platform Hugging Face. The report has since drawn intense Silicon Valley scrutiny, while Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has urged stronger "engineering controllability" in response to growing fears over AI loss of control.

Huawei has unveiled what it calls the world's first 3D data center, introducing a vertically stacked four-layer architecture designed for increasingly dense AI computing clusters and gigawatt-scale infrastructure.

Huawei's internal Heart Voice Community recently published minutes from a discussion between Guo Ping, chairman of Huawei's supervisory board, and newly hired employees, offering a glimpse into the company's ambitions in AI, computing, semiconductors, and future technologies.

"The narrative is much more practical," Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said of China's approach to artificial intelligence (AI) at the All-In Summit 2026, contrasting it with US warnings about AI bringing civilization to an end.

At gamescom 2026, I had my third pre-release slice of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. During last year's gamescom, I watched as developers walked through the Pinkwater Station demo; that same level was subsequently available to play ahead of the public Closed Beta test, and that's when I first went hands-on with the upcoming third-person action RPG by Owlcat Games. Gamescom 2026's appointment was a mix: I played a new level while Creative Director Alexander Mishulin (whom I had previously interviewed shortly after the game's announcement) explained what I was seeing on screen and later answered my questions. This meaty new […]

Sharp Corporation began taking orders in Japan on September 15 for AI servers procured from its Taiwanese parent, Foxconn, and equipped with Nvidia processors, giving the display and consumer electronics maker a route into domestic AI infrastructure at a moment when GPU supply remains tight. The company said commercial sales are planned for fiscal 2027, and it is targeting revenue of around JPY250 billion (about US$1.6 billion) in fiscal 2030, according to Kyodo News.

Where will China's electronics manufacturing industry find growth over the next five years? The answer is taking shape in the 15th Five-Year Plan for the sector, released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC): industry revenue is targeted to exceed CNY30 trillion (US$4.47 trillion) by 2030.

The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) held its ITRI Innovation Day on September 15 in Tainan, Taiwan, bringing together research groups and startup teams to highlight 25 cross-disciplinary technologies in AI, smart robotics, and unmanned vehicles. The event was designed to move more research and development results into industrial use through demonstrations, business matchmaking, and an innovation market.

Humanoid robot makers are cutting prices and scaling production, yet much of the industry remains unprofitable. Upstream suppliers are starting to show a different economics — especially in dexterous robotic hands.
