Computex Taipei 2025: AI Exhibition Booths? No, They’re More Like Exhibition Fortresses!
DSA Continues Its Coverage of the World's Largest AI Convention
If you are wondering just how big exactly is Computex Taipei 2025 as the largest Artificial Intelligence (AI) convention, then allow me to describe it for you.
At 9:00 a.m., you arrive at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Centre and on both sides of the main road are two enormous exhibition buildings: TaiNEX 1 and TaiNex 2.
You haven’t even entered either building yet and you see a sea of people flowing into the entrances like water being funneled. The convention has three levels of exhibition floors in each building. Remember, you have only entered one of them so far. The lines and queues to register are long, but again, they flow like water. Pretty soon you have finally entered the hall on the first floor, and you see the hustle and bustle of thousands of people. Tilt your head upwards and you see exhibition booths that could be better described as “Exhibition Fortresses.” Yes, they’re that massive! Some, like GIGABYTE’s booth, even resemble spaceships. Others actually had multiple floors (such as Schneider Electric’s) with areas for more private consultations for their products and solutions.
Are you looking to implement AI solutions into your enterprise? Are you looking to build or put AI into your own solutions? What about building your own AI solutions from scratch? Or even building AI-ready servers, data centres, and Jensen Huang’s ‘AI Factories’?
Well, the vendors and oarties who are on the frontline to helping you get there are here at Computex and ready to get you started.x
If you caught Huang’s Keynote speech, then you’d also see companies that offer miniature supercomputers with capabilities to facilitate powerful AI operations right from your desktop, along with robots actually enabled by Agentic AI.
These robots were not just on display in the exhibition hall but were actually walking among the crowd. Some even left the exhibitor hall past exit gates through crowds of people. It was like seeing a semi-conscious Android from Star Wars interact and navigate through crowds. Needless to say, it was truly fascinating to witness in-person!
If you were at this grand convention, you for sure would realise (as I did fairly quickly) that Huang’s keynote speech was not foreshadowing the near future of AI possibilities. He was actually sharing what AI has borne for us NOW. This innovation has developed to a point where while Gen AI is still a tool, Agentic AI’s capacity to allow systems and robots to legitimately understand, plan, and act in the real world already resembles legitimate consciousness. Thus, it is no longer just a tool or system anymore but a conscious entity with a determined purpose and free reign to achieve said purpose. Pretty soon, AI will no longer just be our tool; they will be our employees—perhaps even our colleagues.
(Note: Computex 2025 is still mesmerising crowds and introducing innovations, so stay tuned for more of DSA’s day-to-day coverage.)
