Computex Taipei 2024 is to be held at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center on June 4-7 under the theme “Connecting AI.” Attracting around 1,500 exhibitors and showcased in 4,500 booths, the exhibition features the latest tech trends in six subjects: AI Computing, Advanced Connectivity, Future Mobility, Immersive Reality, Sustainability and Innovations.
Focused on AI, this year’s Computex brings together global technology industry players, start-ups, venture capitalists, accelerators and other partners to participate in the grand event, demonstrating the strength of Taiwan’s industry, and connects major international manufacturers, global technology players, start-up teams and professional buyers in the industry.
During the exhibition, major international technology companies will also take part in the keynote speeches (Computex Keynote) and forums (Computex Forum). With the theme of “Let’s Talk Generative AI,” this year’s forum invites international AI experts to have an in-depth discussion on the two core aspects — Applying Generative AI and Behind Generative AI (on key hardware innovation), exploring the development of forward-looking trends such as computing chips, cloud services, smart business opportunities, intelligent vision, spatial computing and Deepfake, as well as technological innovations in applied industries.

Big names of global technology, such as AMD chair and CEO Lisa Su, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Qualcomm president and CEO Cristiano Amon, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, MediaTek vice chairman and CEO Rick Tsai, Supermicro president and CEO Charles Liang, are set to deliver speeches at Computex Keynote.
The annual Computex, or Taipei International Information Technology Show, is the largest consumer electronics exhibition in Asia and the second largest in the world. It is an indicator exhibition for global information communications and Internet of Things technology applications, and is also an important business matchmaking platform for global startup companies’ strategic cooperation.
Jointly organized by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council and the Taipei Computer Association, Computex was once ranked as the world’s three most important computer exhibitions along with the discontinued CeBIT in Germany and COMDEX in Las Vegas, the US.

Pigs that are resistant to a deadly viral disease have been created by scientists at Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute. The gene-edited animals remained healthy when exposed to classical swine fever (CSF), a highly contagious and often fatal disease. The virus was eradicated in the UK in 1966, but there have been several outbreaks since and it continues to pose a major threat to pig farming worldwide. “Classical swine fever is a devastating disease for livestock and farmers as we saw with the outbreak in the UK, 25 years ago,” said Helen Crooke, mammalian virology deputy leader at the Animal and Plant Health Agency
Have you ever seen a circular intersection where cars continuously flow in one direction around a central island? That is a “roundabout,” a well-known alternative to traditional intersections. Drivers enter and exit at different points without relying on traffic lights. Their primary purpose is to improve traffic flow and minimize the likelihood of high-speed collisions, particularly dangerous T-bone and head-on crashes. Roundabouts have existed and been implemented for over a century. In the 1960s, the modern roundabout emerged in the UK, with added rules for yielding. Unlike intersections with red lights, roundabouts allow vehicles to continue moving at a

A: So you’re reading Jin Yong’s martial arts novel again? B: Yup, Jin’s novels are so fascinating, especially the trilogy: “Legends of the Condor Heroes,” “Return of the Condor Heroes,” and “Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.” A: The late novelist published his first story in 1955, which means this year marks the 70th anniversary of his “wuxia” world. B: Wasn’t an English version of “Legends of the Condor Heroes” also released in 2018? A: Yes, but the debate over the translation of kung fu moves continues — like the evil move “Nine Yin Skeleton Claw.” A: 你又在重讀金庸的武俠小說啦？ B:
