Chapter 2 AIGC Technology Analysis and Transnational Development Trends

1. Overview of AIGC technology

In the field of artificial intelligence, AIGC (artificial intelligence generated content) technology is quickly becoming a revolutionary branch that uses advanced machine learning algorithms to automatically create text, image, audio and video content that is comparable in quality and diversity to human creators.

Definition and classification

AIGC technology can be divided into the following categories based on the type of content it generates:
- Text generation: Use natural language processing (NLP) algorithms, such as GPT-3, to create new text content.
- Image generation: generate static images from text descriptions through algorithms, such as Stable Diffusion.
- Audio generation: algorithms for creating musical compositions or simulating human voices, such as WaveNet.
- Video generation: Algorithms that combine image and text generation techniques to create animations or simulate real-world scenes.

Technical principles

• 1. Transformer architecture

• One of the core principles of AIGC technology is the Transformer architecture, which has played a key role in the advancement of natural language processing (NLP) and other AI fields in recent years. The converter architecture was first proposed by Vaswani et al. in 2017. Its innovation lies in the use of a self-attention mechanism to process sequence data, which enables the model to learn long-distance dependencies in the sequence more effectively.

• At the core of the transformer architecture is a self-attention mechanism, which allows the model to take into account all other elements in the sequence when processing each element of the sequence, thereby obtaining a more comprehensive contextual understanding. This is crucial to generating coherent and contextually relevant content.

• Models based on the transformer architecture, such as the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) series, learn rich language patterns and knowledge through large-scale data pre-training, thereby being able to generate high-quality text content under unseen cues. This method of pre-training and fine-tuning further improves the model’s performance on specific tasks, allowing it to demonstrate powerful capabilities in multiple application fields such as text generation, language translation, and content summarization.

• The converter architecture not only promotes the development of the field of natural language processing, but also provides a solid foundation for the advancement of AIGC technology, allowing it to play an important role in cultural inheritance, education, entertainment and other fields.

• 2. Diffusion Model

• Recently, in the field of image generation, diffusion models (such as Stable Diffusion) have shown their powerful generation capabilities. These models generate new images by gradually introducing random noise and then learning to reverse the process to reconstruct the data. This stepwise diffusion and reduction process enables the model to create high-quality and detailed images, which has broad applications in artistic creation and visual content generation.

• Both architectures have promoted the development of the AIGC field, and their innovations in model design and learning strategies have provided strong technical support for generating various types of new content. With further research and optimization of these models, we can foresee that AIGC technology will play a more important role in the cultural and creative industries.

Collaborative innovation of cross-strait AI hardware in the face of technological blockade: Research on the cooperation model of Kinmen AI Computing Power Center

Sat, 20 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

1. Introduction

1.1 The international background of the US blockade on AI chip technology and its impact on both sides of the Taiwan Strait

In today’s global economic system driven by technological innovation, artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductor technology are undoubtedly at the forefront of the times. However, in recent years, the U.S. government has implemented a series of technological blockades and export control measures against China in these advanced fields based on geopolitical considerations and technological competition. This situation not only poses a direct challenge to China’s scientific and technological development, but also triggers attention and thinking about potential changes in the global scientific and technological innovation pattern. Especially in the field of AI chip technology, the United States has imposed strict export restrictions on leading companies including Nvidia and AMD starting in 2022 on the grounds of national security, preventing these companies from selling their most advanced AI chips to China. These chips are critical to the development of artificial intelligence because they provide the foundation for high-performance computing and are integral to applications such as big data analytics and smart manufacturing. The blockade measures demonstrate the United States’ firm stance in maintaining its technological hegemony and its determination to curb the rapid rise of China’s technology. The impact of this blockade on China is profound. It not only suppresses the technological innovation capabilities of Chinese enterprises, but also affects important development strategies promoted by the Chinese government, such as the “Manufacturing 2025” plan. In order to cope with these restrictions, China has to find alternative sources of technology or accelerate independent research and development of relevant domestic technologies.

1.2 Kinmen’s unique role in this pattern

For Taiwan, the U.S. blockade policy means both opportunities and challenges. As an important player in the global semiconductor manufacturing industry, Taiwan has access to these advanced technologies and has the ability to produce high-end AI chips. This advantage gives Taiwan the potential to become the mainland’s partner in breaking through the technological blockade. In particular, due to Kinmen’s special geographical location close to the mainland, the author proposed the idea of establishing an AI computing power center in Kinmen, and proposed the Kinmen AI computing power center as a possible cooperation platform to solve the challenges brought by the technological blockade. This not only has far-reaching significance for the development of cross-strait relations, but also provides a new perspective on global technological innovation trends.

In the current global technological competition, Taiwan’s role in facing the complex international technological landscape is particularly unique. Taiwan has always been an important base for the global semiconductor industry. It has a place in the world with its advanced process technology and chip design capabilities. In recent years, with the United States’ blockade of AI chip technology in mainland China, Taiwan’s strategic importance has been further pushed up.

Since Taiwanese companies can legally obtain and produce these high-end AI chips that are restricted in the mainland, Taiwan has become a potential partner of the mainland in this regard. This situation has opened up new possibilities for cross-strait cooperation in the high-tech field. Through such synergy, it will not only alleviate the mainland’s development bottlenecks in specific technology categories, but also help maintain Taiwan’s status and economic interests in the global semiconductor industry.

Kinmen has become an ideal place for such cooperation due to its geographical and historical particularities. As a frontier island on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Kinmen is located in the Taiwan Strait, across the sea from the mainland. It has a strong cultural background in southern Fujian and is politically under the jurisdiction of the Taiwan region. Its unique geographical location allows it to play the role of a cross-strait bridge in politics, economy and culture. It is not only a link for exchanges between people on both sides of the strait, but also a potential window for scientific and technological cooperation.

Against the background of the US blockade of AI chip technology, the proposal to establish an AI computing power center in Kinmen can be regarded as a strategic deployment. Such a center will take advantage of Taiwan’s technological advantages and Kinmen’s geographical advantages, aiming to form a new model of scientific and technological cooperation. The Kinmen AI Computing Center can not only provide necessary computing resources and technical support to the mainland, but also create new economic growth points for Taiwan and enhance its influence in international technology competition.

However, the establishment and operation of this cooperation model will face many challenges, including technology transfer, intellectual property protection, political risks, etc. Therefore, this study will next explore how to balance the interests of all parties under this unique international science and technology and geopolitical structure, and promote cross-strait science and technology cooperation and economic prosperity in a peaceful and stable manner.

1.3 How does the Kinmen AI Computing Center help break through the blockade and promote cross-strait cooperation?

In the current international situation where the United States has imposed a technological blockade on AI chips, exploring effective breakthroughs has become a major issue in cross-strait scientific and technological cooperation. This paper will focus on the concept of Kinmen AI Computing Center, explore how it becomes a key hub for cross-strait cooperation, and specifically clarify the following research questions:

4. Policy, economic and technical background analysis

4.1 Specific measures of the US blockade policy and its impact on the mainland

Measures of the US blockade policy
- Export restrictions: In recent years, as technology competition has intensified, the U.S. government has implemented a series of export restrictions on AI chips and related technologies, aiming to restrict the delivery of these technologies to the mainland. These restrictions include updates to export rules for specific products and technologies, Entity List restrictions on specific businesses, and restrictions on investment. These measures have had a significant impact on mainland China’s scientific and technological progress and industrial development. According to the CSIS report (2022), the United States has updated its export rules for AI chips, restricting companies in specific regions, including mainland China, from purchasing American-made AI chips (Center for Strategic and International Studies, 2022). The updates to these rules are intended to prevent advanced U.S. technologies from being used to enhance China’s military capabilities or be used in unfair competitive practices. At the same time, The Diplomat (2024) reported that a series of export control measures first implemented in October 2022 were intended to restrict mainland China’s access to advanced AI chips manufactured in the United States (Cho, 2024). The goal of these control measures is to weaken the mainland’s ability to develop in the field of AI. In addition, according to Reuters reports (2024), the new rules aim to prevent the export of more advanced AI chips designed by Nvidia and other companies to the mainland (Reuters, 2024). These export restrictions have had a clear impact on the research, development and application promotion of AI technology. Therefore, the U.S. export restrictions have had a profound impact on the mainland’s technology industry and the global AI chip market. This not only affects the ability of mainland companies to obtain key technologies, but also has a broad impact on global technological innovation and cooperation.
- Entity List: In order to protect national security and economic interests, the U.S. government has implemented the so-called “Entity List” against specific foreign entities, organizations and individuals. The list includes entities deemed to potentially threaten U.S. national security or engage in unfair competition using U.S. technology. Companies placed on the list will be restricted from purchasing U.S.-made technology and equipment unless they have special permission. According to official information from the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce, the “Entity List” clearly points out the licensing requirements faced by each company or individual listed (Bureau of Industry and Security, n.d.). Recently, according to the Federal Register, the U.S. Export Control Review Committee (ERC) decided to add several mainland companies to the “Entity List”, including Dennex Enterprises Limited, Exeya Co., Limited, etc. (Federal Register, 2024a; Federal Register, 2023). These new entities cover different fields from high-tech electronic products to trade and investment, reflecting the United States’ strict attitude towards technology export controls.
- Investment restrictions: In recent years, the U.S. government has taken a series of measures to restrict direct investment by U.S. companies in mainland technology companies, especially in sensitive technology fields. These restrictions are intended to prevent U.S. technology and funding from being used to enhance China’s military capabilities and technological competitiveness. Executive order restricts investment: According to the Council on Foreign Relations (Council on Foreign Relations, 2023), President Biden issued an executive order restricting U.S. direct investment in China in sensitive technology fields. This is intended to prevent these technologies from helping Beijing improve its military capabilities. New Procedure to Restrict Investment in China: Pursuant to the White House Case (White & Case, 2023), the Biden order establishes a new procedure to limit U.S. outward investment in specific technological fields in China. This includes investment restrictions in areas such as artificial intelligence and advanced semiconductors. Ban on certain high-tech investments: An executive order specifically targets three high-tech areas: artificial intelligence, advanced semiconductors, and quantum computing, banning new U.S. investments in China in these areas. (China Briefing, 2023)
Impact on Mainland China
- Challenges of technological development: In recent years, U.S. export controls and investment restrictions on mainland China have had a significant impact on mainland technology companies, especially in terms of acquiring key technologies and attracting international investment. Increased investment in R&D: According to the CSIS report, Western export control measures have caused a rebound among mainland companies that were included on the list, forcing them to increase investment in R&D (Center for Strategic & International Studies, n.d.). Although this can be seen as a positive push for independent innovation, it may face development bottlenecks in the short term due to the lack of mature technology. Impact of international trade relations: According to the Access Partnership report, US-China trade tensions have had a complex impact on the global supply chain and regulatory environment, making companies related to global supply chains face a more complex regulatory environment (Access Partnership, 2024). Security concerns and technological leadership: According to analysis by East Asia Forum, the United States’ export controls and investment restrictions on the mainland are designed to maintain technological leadership and address security concerns in key areas (East Asia Forum, 2024). This directly limits mainland technology companies’ access to key and advanced technologies and increases the difficulty of technological innovation. Concerns about the long-term impact on global trade: At the same time, U.S. companies are also concerned about overly broad restrictions on exports to China, fearing that it may have an impact on China’s long-term technological development and have negative consequences on global trade (Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, n.d.).
- Market and supply chain adjustments: Facing the U.S. technological blockade and trade restrictions, mainland China has taken comprehensive measures to adjust its market strategy and restructure its supply chain. These strategies aim to reduce dependence on foreign technology while accelerating the development of domestic technological innovation and independent production capabilities.

This includes focused investment in research and development in key areas such as semiconductors and artificial intelligence. Expanding mainland’s internal production capabilities: In response to U.S. export controls, mainland China is accelerating the expansion of its internal semiconductor industry’s production capabilities. As research by Rhodium Group shows, China has significantly improved its traditional chip production capabilities in the past few years (Rosen, 2024). Diversify import sources: Faced with import restrictions on specific technologies and products, mainland China seeks to diversify import sources and reduce reliance on a single external market. This includes strengthening cooperation and trade in science and technology with countries in Europe, East Asia and other regions.
- Promotion of independent innovation: In recent years, in the face of U.S. blockade measures, mainland China has accelerated its pace of independent technological innovation, especially in key technology fields such as semiconductors and artificial intelligence (AI).
  - Semiconductor self-sufficiency strategy: According to a report by the Center for International Strategic Studies (CSIS), in the mid-2010s, mainland China had actively promoted a semiconductor self-sufficiency strategy. The key to this strategy is that in the face of external blockades and restrictions, mainland China increases investment and support in the domestic semiconductor industry to improve domestic production capacity and technological levels (Kennedy & Johnson, 2023).
  - Response to the U.S. technology blockade: The South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that China’s response to the U.S. blockade strategy is to strengthen its capabilities in innovation and independent research and development, rather than choosing to isolate itself. A spokesman for the National People’s Congress stated that China will overcome U.S. technology and scientific sanctions through innovation and self-reliance (SCMP, 2024).
  - Development model in the AI field: According to a policy brief from the German Mercator Institute for China Research (MERICS), mainland China has adopted a nationwide large-scale computing infrastructure project and a comprehensive development strategy for AI development. This shows mainland China’s commitment to achieving technological independence in the field of AI (MERICS, n.d.).

Technology policy and development: According to a report by the National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR), in response to the challenge of U.S. restrictions, China has strengthened domestic efforts by encouraging innovation in the field of AI, increasing research and development funding (NBR, n.d.).

Through the analysis of the specific measures and impacts of the United States’ AI technology blockade policy in mainland China, this section provides an in-depth understanding of an important factor in the current global technology competition environment. These policies not only pose a direct challenge to mainland China’s technological development, but also prompt it to seek new market strategies and strengthen independent innovation capabilities, which will have a profound impact on the future development of cross-strait technological cooperation.

6.3 Uncertainty in cross-Strait relations

Facing the background of intensified global technological competition, the Kinmen AI Computing Center, as an important technological project located at the political and economic intersection of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, will inevitably be directly affected by the fluctuations in cross-strait relations during its advancement. Therefore, how to ensure the stability and sustainable development of the center in a complex and unpredictable political environment has become an important key to determining the success or failure of the project.

The uncertainty in cross-Strait relations mainly comes from differences in political stances, changes in the international economic and trade environment, and the impact of the geopolitical landscape. Due to these uncertainties, Kinmen AI Computing Center faces a series of challenges such as investment risks, changes in partners, and technology transfer obstacles.

Strategy for Stable Development

Diversified investment sources: In order to reduce the risk of a single investment source, the center needs to seek diversified sources of funding and technical support, including international partners, the private sector and non-governmental organizations.
Strengthen the foundation of legitimacy: Solid planning in legal and compliance aspects, including business operations that comply with cross-strait and international laws, can maintain the center’s legitimacy and legal operations when political risks intensify.
Establish a flexible operating mechanism: Center operations need to be highly flexible and adaptable to quickly respond to changes in the political environment, including temporary adjustments to cooperation strategies or business focus.
Promote cross-Strait science and technology communication: Through active science and technology diplomacy and communication, strengthening mutual trust and understanding between the cross-Strait science and technology circles will help maintain the stability of cooperation amidst political fluctuations.
Risk Management and Emergency Preparedness: Develop comprehensive risk management plans and contingency plans to ensure assets, personnel and intellectual property are protected and normal operations can be quickly restored in the face of political crises.

During the implementation of the Kinmen AI Computing Center, the uncertainty of cross-strait relations undoubtedly brought severe challenges.
