被稱為「AI教父」的輝達(NVIDIA)共同創辦人黃仁勳,近日捲入婚外情風波及國安疑雲,12日宣布辭去總裁、執行長暨董事會成員職務,震撼全球科技界。對此,資深媒體人矢板明夫指出,他認為台灣社會更應該關注這場風波可能引發的連鎖反應,並可能產生3大負面影響。

矢板明夫在臉書發文表示,第一、台灣科技供應鏈可能遭到全面檢視,輝達與台積電、鴻海、廣達、緯創等台灣科技巨頭關係密切,一旦美國政府擴大調查輝達與中國的交易,以及敏感技術是否外流,台灣供應鏈也可能被捲入,即使沒有違法行為,持續調查仍可能衝擊企業訂單、投資計畫及市場信心,台灣股市的成長又高度集中於半導體與AI產業,一旦市場對輝達失去信心,影響恐怕不只一兩家公司。

矢板明夫指出,第二、全球AI革命可能遭遇反撲,近年AI發展迅速,美國社會也出現強烈的反AI情緒,有人反對建設耗電的資料中心,也有人憂慮AI將取代人類的工作與創造力,這讓他想起19世紀英國工業革命時期的「盧德運動」,當時工人們因為擔憂機器奪走自己的生計,闖入工廠砸毀紡織機。

矢板明夫再指,今天的反AI運動不必砸毀機器,只要透過政治壓力、法律訴訟、地方抗議及政府監管,就可能大幅拖慢AI產業的發展,黃仁勳原本是推動AI革命最具代表性的人物之一,他的離開,加上美國日益升高的反AI聲浪,可能讓高速發展的產業突然踩下煞車。

Akio Yaita said that what is even more worrying is that if the United States steps on the brakes, will China take the opportunity to step on the accelerator?中國正全力發展AI技術,如果美國因內部爭議放慢腳步,中國卻持續投入,雙方的技術差距有可能迅速縮小,對台灣而言,這不只是經濟問題,更可能成為國家安全的問題。

矢板明夫表示,第三、台灣失去了一位無可取代的國際科技代言人,出生於台灣的黃仁勳,不僅是成功的企業家,也是長期向世界宣傳台灣科技實力的重要人物,他不斷強調台灣供應鏈的重要性,讓世界看見台灣的技術、人才與製造能力,如今他不再領導輝達,對台灣而言,確實是一項重大損失。

矢板明夫認為,今天在熱烈討論黃仁勳私人問題的同時,台灣社會更應該思考一個嚴肅的問題:後黃仁勳時代,台灣應該如何面對?

"Süddeutsche Zeitung" commented that Nvidia CEO Huang Jensen's stance against the US's chip export controls to China is correct. Although the ban caused losses to Nvidia, it failed to completely cut off China's access to chips. Instead, it prompted China to accelerate the development of local alternatives and strengthen its determination to become technologically independent.
