In the past, Taiwan's strong hardware ecosystem made it challenging for local manufacturers to develop artificial intelligence (AI) applications. However, a new startup called Deep Force has managed to build its own terminal-based deep learning platform, despite these challenges. The company's technology has been adopted by Philips and National Taiwan University Hospital, and is now integrated into their AI platforms.
According to Chen Zhongwei, CEO and co-founder of Deep Force, Taiwan can leverage its historical "nutrients" in the AI development space. These nutrients refer to the well-established and deeply rooted hardware industry chain that Taiwan has built over the past few decades. From IC design to packaging, testing, module assembly, and even brand companies, every part of this ecosystem provides a solid foundation for AI integration.
Chen believes that rather than trying to replicate the pure software giants like Facebook, Google, or Amazon, Taiwan should focus on combining AI with its strong hardware background. He notes that the lack of a large domestic market makes it difficult for pure software companies to thrive in Taiwan. Therefore, AI must be driven by hardware applications to create real value.
While most major international manufacturers base their deep learning solutions on cloud computing, Deep Force takes a different approach. It emphasizes hardware as the driving force behind its AI platform, leading to a more innovative and practical application model.
For instance, Deep Force’s platform focuses on image recognition. When integrated with Philips’ smartphones, it allows users to automatically classify photos of family and friends. This not only simplifies photo management but also enhances user experience in the long run.
Looking ahead, AI will go beyond just hardware. From smart locks and cars to decentralized devices like home robots, all of them will benefit from embedded AI technologies. Chen believes that Taiwan's future lies in combining both software and hardware applications, allowing local AI companies to find their unique place in the global market.
