【AI for Climate, Climate for AI: Two-Way Empowerment Driving Green Computing and the Digital Climate Revolution】
While the wave of artificial intelligence (AI) transforms the world, the exponential expansion of data centers poses severe challenges to electricity grids and water resources. As a global powerhouse in the ICT and semiconductor supply chain, Taiwan is tackling this dual digital-green transition through a strategic ""two-way empowerment"" approach. On one hand, under Climate for AI, Taiwan is advancing green data centers, next-generation liquid cooling technologies, and smart grid dispatching to break through the energy bottlenecks of AI infrastructure. On the other hand, under AI for Climate, Taiwan harnesses artificial intelligence to accelerate environmental big data governance, extreme weather forecasting, and corporate carbon footprint analytics—transforming raw computational power into the ultimate catalyst for climate solutions. Chaired by Dr. Peng Chi-ming, Minister of Environment, this forum convenes authoritative international organizations, the Taiwan Climate Partnership, and leading tech visionaries to reveal how Taiwan leverages its combined hardware manufacturing prowess and software innovation to guide the world into an era where high computational performance and low carbon emissions seamlessly coexist.
