Newtalk新聞 輝達執行長黃仁勳今天在柏林GTC大會表示，人工智慧（AI）不只是軟體技術，更是「新的製造業」，歐洲不應只是AI技術使用者，更應成為生產者。他並宣布推出貨櫃式AI資料中心方案，看好德國與歐洲在實體AI領域的發展潛力。 輝達（NVIDIA）GTC開發者大會21日至22日在柏林舉行。黃仁勳今天在Tempodrom展演場館發表主題演講，場外一早便排起長長人龍，吸引來自世界各地的開發者、科技業者與媒體參與。 黃仁勳開場回顧輝達與歐洲長達33年的合作歷程，包括早期在歐洲生產晶片、與德國企業開拓專業繪圖市場，以及與歐洲車廠共同開發車載技術。他表示，輝達承諾向歐洲科技生態系投入近100億美元，並與超過1萬2000家夥伴合作。 「如果想參與AI經濟，就不能只是消費AI，也須生產AI」，黃仁勳說，歐洲有能力建立完整的AI產業體系。 他指出，AI已從能源、運算設備、資料中心到模型及應用，形成完整產業鏈。他也將AI比喻為電力，認為未來每家公司都將運用AI，各產業也將因此轉型。 為加速AI基礎設施建置，黃仁勳介紹新型貨櫃式AI資料中心方案DSX POD，這項被輝達稱為「AI工廠」的設計，將大型運算、網路及冷卻設備預先在工廠完成整合與測試，再以貨櫃式模組運往使用地點，縮短現場組裝時間。 輝達表示，DSX平台結合封閉式液冷與乾式冷卻設備，可減少冷卻用水；並透過智慧電力管理技術，在產生相同數量AI詞元（token）情況下，最高可節省30%用電。 DSX POD以新一代Vera Rubin運算平台為核心，預計2027年初由全球合作夥伴交付，合作企業包括鴻海、技嘉、和碩、廣達旗下雲達科技及緯創等台灣業者。 黃仁勳宣布，Vera Rubin平台已進入量產，將支援大型語言模型及更複雜的AI代理（AI Agent），也就是能自行規劃步驟、使用工具並完成任務的AI系統。為降低安全風險，輝達推出OpenShell安全架構，協助企業限制AI代理存取資料及操作工具的權限。 談到AI未來發展，黃仁勳指出，下一波浪潮將是能理解真實環境、進行判斷並採取行動的實體AI（Physical AI），應用範圍涵蓋工業製造、醫療、自動駕駛及機器人。 以德國工業大廠西門子（Siemens）的埃蘭根（Erlangen）工廠為例，透過AI及數位孿生技術，先在電腦建立虛擬工廠，模擬及規劃生產流程。法國達梭系統（Dassault Systèmes）則展示AI如何協助工程師調整福斯汽車零件設計，並透過模擬找出問題。 在醫療方面，黃仁勳介紹機器人放射治療，透過AI即時辨識治療過程中腫瘤及人體的變化，精準調整放射線照射位置，現場觀眾對此回以熱烈掌聲。 自動駕駛方面，輝達的Hyperion平台可協助車廠開發自駕系統，未來與叫車服務整合。歐洲叫車平台Bolt規劃部署至少2萬5000輛具備第4級自駕能力、可在特定條件下自行駕駛的車輛，並將德國列為優先市場之一。 在人形機器人領域，德國Agile Robots宣布推出整合輝達技術的Agile ONE SN機器人開發平台，預計2027年初推出。黃仁勳認為，機器人領域的「ChatGPT時刻」即將到來，機器人技術將迎來重大突破。 會場中也發生一段插曲，一名抗議者在黃仁勳介紹新一代Vera Rubin運算設備時起身高聲質疑環境問題，一度打斷演說。黃仁勳回應，環境議題相當重要，每個人都有表達意見的機會，但希望先把演說完成。（編輯：張芷瑄）1151021延伸閱讀：2026上半年數據！輝達中國AI晶片出貨大減44% 市佔1/3強量子電腦卡關有解？輝達模擬驗證關鍵技術 量子位元需求減少90%財報利多抵銷AI投資疑慮！美股漲跌互見道瓊漲529點 台積電ADR漲1.16％俄羅斯AI假影片干預美國期中選舉！假冒媒體抹黑民主黨 動員機器人灌水衝破10萬觀看沈伯洋民調大勝17% 他驚呼不敢相信：北市選戰勝負已定！蔣萬安「就算贏也輸了」

Newtalk新聞 近年來，美國與中國積極推動第六代戰鬥機的開發與製造，兩國間的軍備競賽也引發國際輿論的廣泛關注。近期有馬來西亞軍事媒體發布報導，直接比對美中兩國最新型的六代機 F-47 與殲-36 ，宣稱後者徹底跳出了傳統戰鬥機的作戰理念框架，質疑前者可能因缺少某些「關鍵性能力」而無法與後者競爭。 《騰訊網》軍事專欄作者「軍武次位面」指出，馬來西亞軍事媒體《亞洲防務安全》日前發表了一篇對比美中兩國六代戰機的報導，主張六代機戰力的標準不應只侷限於隱身、雷達、武器、機動性等傳統領域，更應該加重考慮六代機在現代戰爭體系中可能所扮演的角色。 該報導認為，比起 F-47 ，殲-36 更能擔任「空中前沿指揮所」的角色，認為殲-36 「顛覆性的設計理念」徹底跳出了傳統戰鬥機作戰思維的框架。該報導表示，在無人設備逐漸崛起的背景下，有人機與無人機之間的協調作戰已經被視為未來空戰的主要發展方向，強調是否具備有效控制無人設備的能力才是當前最重要的目標。 如何協調有人機與無人機的協同作戰，才是未來空戰的關鍵。圖為美軍正在開發的兩款忠誠僚機。 圖：翻攝自 騰訊網 軍武次位面 報導稱，為了實現該項目標，美國加強了在軍事設備中投入人工智慧 ( AI ) 技術的比重，試圖透過 AI 進行資訊處理與輔助決策，進而降低飛行員的負擔，實現一個飛行員完成雙人協作任務的目標。但該報導提出質疑，認為當前的 AI 技術還不足以應對複雜且多變的戰場環境，主張在相關技術發展成熟前，應該繼續採用在訊息確認、判斷與決策上都較為優秀的人腦。 該報導強調，在以該項前提為條件的情況下，只採用單人座艙設計的 F-47 幾乎無法與雙人座艙的殲-36 競爭，「後者可讓一名飛行員專注飛行，另一人專門負責處理戰場資訊、指揮無人機編隊以及協調有人機與無人機的協同作戰」。 在殲-36 正式投入使用後，預警機就能被後移至後方的安全地區，將指揮無人僚機、殲-20 以及殲-35A 的任務完全轉交給殲-36 …
