Taiwan has once again attracted international attention at the Edison Awards, which are hailed as the "Oscars of Innovation," winning 18 awards and ranking second in the world. The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) has been awarded for nine consecutive years, receiving 3 gold, 3 silver, and 1 bronze. ITRI's smart leakage monitoring technology won a gold award, utilizing artificial intelligence with an accuracy rate of up to 98%, saving 10.94 million tons of water annually. Additionally, AI pioneer Jensen Huang was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award, highlighting the importance of AI. This recognition is not only an affirmation of academic excellence but also paves the way for Taiwan's R&D achievements to enter the international market.
Team Taiwan has once again gained international attention. At the Edison Awards, known as the "Oscars of Innovation," Taiwan received 18 awards, ranking second globally, with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) winning for nine consecutive years, achieving 3 gold, 3 silver, and 1 bronze awards. AI pioneer Huang Renxun also attended the award ceremony and received a Lifetime Achievement Award.
At the Edison Awards ceremony, ITRI received a gold award for its smart leak monitoring technology. The president of ITRI stated that Taiwan ranked second in the world in the number of awards, only behind the United States, utilizing AI technology in areas such as leak detection and cold energy management for electric vehicle charging, which are extremely important applications of artificial intelligence.
The awards that ITRI received in the field of AI include 3 gold, 3 silver, and 1 bronze, with its smart leak monitoring technology capable of quickly identifying and locating leaks with an accuracy of 98%, saving 10.94 million tons of water annually. Additionally, for every 10,000 tons of water treated in metal wastewater, 100 tons of carbon emissions can be reduced, and a new type of biomedical material can remain at the site for 30 days, holding the promise of replacing surgery.
The director of ITRI's biomedical division mentioned that this technology can be applied to various medical needs, from degenerative arthritis to major surgeries, continuously assisting in validation and application through biotech companies.
During the award ceremony, NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun also shared his views on AI and received a Lifetime Achievement Award. He emphasized the importance of AI multiple times in his speech, and the Taiwan team’s achievement in winning a major award through artificial intelligence not only acknowledges their academic efforts but also aims to promote these R&D results to international markets in the future.
