Meta's Zuckerberg woos big tech in Asia to double down on AI chips

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is looking to strengthen the company's cooperation with Samsung Electronics for the development of AI chips. This move is aimed at mitigating geopolitical risks in Taiwan, where TSMC, the world's largest contract chip manufacturer, is headquartered. Zuckerberg recently met with Samsung's executives to discuss potential collaborations in AI chips, semiconductors, and extended reality. Additionally, he met with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to discuss AI and semiconductors, as Japan seeks to revitalize its chip making industry. Zuckerberg's tour of Asia aligns with the increased global demand for AI chips and efforts by tech companies to reduce their dependence on Nvidia. In a separate meeting, Zuckerberg discussed potential collaboration on extended reality device development with LG Electronics. LG hopes to partner with a more advanced company in the AI space, while Meta aims to expand its ecosystem and offer XR technology on LG's consumer devices.
