HONG KONG -- Hong Kong's Artificial Intelligence Supercomputing Center (AISC) commenced operation on Monday as the city steps up its AI development efforts despite tighter U.S. export controls on the chip sector.
Established by Cyberport, a wholly owned entity of the Hong Kong government, the computing power of the first phase of the facility was originally planned to total of 300 petaflops. That has been scaled up to a planned 1,300 petaflops this year and 3,000 petaflops next year to address "the growing demand for computing power in the technology sector."
