## Taiwan's Role in the AI Market The growth of Taiwan's IT sector is helping to dampen fears of a speculative bubble in the artificial intelligence sector. The island's economy, heavily oriented towards the production of semiconductors and hardware components, directly benefits from the expansion of the AI market. Taiwan is a key player in the global supply chain for AI, with leading companies in the production of chips, motherboards and other essential components. This strategic position allows the island to capitalize on the growing demand for hardware for training and deploying AI models. ## General Context The artificial intelligence sector has seen exponential growth in recent years, fueled by significant advances in machine learning and deep learning. However, this rapid expansion has raised concerns about the sustainability of this growth and the risk of a possible speculative bubble, similar to those seen in the past in other technology sectors. The solidity of the Taiwanese IT sector, with its focus on hardware production, provides a more stable foundation for AI growth.
