林修民 半導體看天下》德國發展AI產業的困境在哪?

輝達執行長黃仁勳與德國總理梅爾茨探討德國AI發展困境與能源、地緣政治挑戰

Quick Look

輝達執行長黃仁勳在柏林爐邊對談中指出,物理AI是德國工業的關鍵轉型機會。作者林修民分析,德國若要發展AI,必須解決能源依賴俄羅斯及技術供應鏈依賴中國的國安隱憂,否則將重蹈半導體產業沒落的覆轍。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

黃仁勳於柏林爐邊對談中強調物理AI對德國工業的重要性。德國長期依賴俄羅斯能源及中國供應鏈,目前正尋求轉型。

10月26日在德國柏林舉辦的2026柏林爐邊對談(Berlin Fireside Chat)活動中,輝達執行長黃仁勳與德國總理弗里德里希·梅爾茨(Friedrich Merz)談到了德國發展AI的未來,黃直指「物理AI開啓工業新革命,沒有第二次機會」,那德國發展AI到底困境是什麼?

會談中首先,黃仁勳回顧了輝達與德國工業的深厚淵源。早在2000年,英偉達主要聚焦於PC遊戲領域,正是在與德國繪圖卡大廠艾爾莎(ELSA)公司的合作推進下,讓輝達成功打入工作站市場,並由此開啓了與德國各大汽車巨頭的全方位合作。

黃仁勳指出,過去50年的軟體計算革命重塑了全球產業格局,但AI的下一波浪潮是「物理AI(Physical AI)」——即人工智慧與物理世界、機器人技術、智慧製造以及重工業的深度融合。

「世界上所有的數位技術都無法取代機電物理技術,電子永遠無法取代原子(Electrons will never replace atoms)。在這場工業革命中,力量如此強大,你們沒有第二次機會。」

黃仁勳告訴梅爾茨,並主張德國需要在培育本土AI產業的同時,確保其發展是安全且負責任的。黃仁勳認為政策決策者應專注於監管AI的應用端,就像監管各類網路產品一樣,而不是試圖對底層技術進行全面管制。

黃仁勳期許德國擁有享譽全球的「中小型隱形冠軍企業(Mittelstand)」。這些企業積累了海量的工業製造數據,如果能將這些深厚的物理工業經驗與人工智慧相結合,將爲德國工業注入強勁的新動能。

今年AI熱潮的發展其實並不是一夕之間從天上掉下來,而是從過去半導體與資通訊發展的基礎上不斷累積。如果德國要發展AI就得勢必重新檢討過去半導體與資通訊發展的不足,才有可能追上。

德國過去發展產業的兩大失敗因素:能源靠俄羅斯與便宜靠中國。

能源靠俄羅斯的缺點在近年的烏俄戰爭中暴露無遺,想要便宜的能源,最後就是把國家安全的脖子靠在對你虎視眈眈的威脅國家的刀子上,面對更耗能源的AI產業,如果不正視這個問題,德國的AI產業永遠將受制於俄羅斯。

至於便宜產品靠中國也是致命因素,2018年起當美國積極遊說相關的盟國推行乾淨網路時,德國的表現其實是心不甘情不願的。美國大力施壓之後,近年來德國才開始正視華為基地台對德國國家安全的危害,慢慢移除華為在德國電信核心網路的存在。

AI的世界裡面,中國現在又大量提供便宜低價的中國AI模型算力,簡直猶如當年華為提供基地台的翻版,因此,德國政府如果不正視俄羅斯跟中國對德國所帶來的威脅,其AI產業恐怕會跟其沒落的半導體業一樣,只好等待未來的某一天類似像台積電一樣的企業,能夠到德國再去設廠,挽救德國的半導體業。

當然,這種困境不是只有針對德國,其實包含台灣在內的各國都應該思考上面這些問題。

Open Questions

  • 德國如何具體落實AI產業的能源轉型?
  • 德國政府是否會進一步限制中國AI算力產品?
