Dario Amodei, the former head of R&D at OpenAI, left the company in 2021 due to growing concerns over the rapid commercialization and safety of AI technology. Alongside his sister, Daniela Amodei, he co-founded Anthropic, a firm now valued at $183 billion. With the exceptional performance of its Claude models—particularly in coding—Anthropic has emerged as OpenAI's most formidable rival.

Amodei frequently sounds the alarm on the risks of advanced AI, describing powerful models as "a sovereign brain in a data center." He warns that there is a non-negligible risk of catastrophic outcomes and predicts that AI could replace 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs within five years. He also emphasizes that without proper oversight, AI could be weaponized by bad actors to develop biological weapons, posing a severe threat to national security.

This episode focuses on Dario Amodei and the AI ethical frameworks he champions at Anthropic, which enable models to self-supervise based on core principles. Amodei believes humanity is currently in a "technological adolescence" that will determine our survival. He maintains that only through transparent regulatory mechanisms can we ensure AI leads us toward a prosperous future rather than total destruction.

Dario Amodei 曾是 OpenAI 的研發負責人，卻因擔心技術過度商業化與安全性，於 2021 年離開並與妹妹 Daniela Amodei 創立了 Anthropic。這間公司如今估值已高達 1,830 億美元，並因其研發的 Claude 模型在程式開發上的優異表現，成為 OpenAI 最強大的對手。

Dario Amodei 頻繁對外發出警示，將強大的 AI 比喻為「資料中心裡的智囊國」，並警告 AI 最高有 ，且可能在 5 年內取代 50% 的初階白領工作。他強調，若缺乏適當監管，AI 甚至可能協助惡意份子製造生物武器，成為嚴重的國安威脅。

本集將專注介紹Dario Amodei 以及他在 Anthropic 推動的AI倫理規範，讓模型能基於倫理原則進行自我監督,。他認為人類正處於決定存亡的「技術青春期」，唯有建立透明的監管機制，才能確保 AI 最終能引領人類邁向繁榮而非走向毀滅。

This episode explores the vision of Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind and recipient of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Hassabis argues that 2026 marks a pivotal turning point in human history, as we enter what he describes as an “AI Renaissance”—an era whose impact could be ten times greater than the Industrial Revolution, unfolding at ten times the speed.
He predicts that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) could be achieved before 2030, while cautioning that today’s AI systems remain in a state of “jagged intelligence,” still lacking robust reasoning and long-term planning capabilities. As the industry enters a phase of consolidation, Hassabis is focused on transforming AI into a scientific engine. Through breakthroughs such as AlphaFold and initiatives like Isomorphic Labs, he aims to reshape drug discovery, while collaborations with the U.S. Department of Energy—such as the “Genesis Project”—seek to accelerate progress in energy innovation.
At the core of his vision is the concept of “Radical Abundance.” As AI drives the marginal cost of healthcare and energy toward near zero, society may begin to transition into a post-scarcity era. To navigate this shift, Hassabis proposes new social mechanisms, including a “Global Abundance Dividend,” and emphasizes that AI governance must extend beyond technologists, requiring international cooperation to ensure these technologies benefit all of humanity.

本集的內容將帶您深入探索 Google DeepMind 執行長、2024 年諾貝爾化學獎得主 戴米斯·哈薩比斯 (Demis Hassabis) 的遠見。哈薩比斯指出 2026 年是人類歷史的轉折點，我們正進入一個「AI 文藝復興」時代，其影響力將是工業革命的十倍，且發展速度快上十倍。
哈薩比斯預測通用人工智能 (AGI) 可能在 2030 年前實現，但警告現今 AI 仍處於「參差不齊的智能」狀態，必須克服基礎推理與長期規劃的缺陷。隨著行業進入「洗牌期」，他致力於將 AI 轉化為科學引擎，透過 AlphaFold 與 Isomorphic Labs 變革藥物研發，並與美國能源部合作「創世紀任務」以加速能源突破。
他最核心的觀點是 「激進豐饒」(Radical Abundance)：當 AI 讓醫療與能源成本趨近於零，人類將邁向「後稀缺」社會。為應對此轉變，他提出「全球豐饒紅利」等社會機制，並強調 AI 治理不能僅留給技術專家，需透過國際合作確保這項技術能造福全人類。

In today’s episode, we examine the evolving trade arrangement between Taiwan and the United States and what it truly represents beyond the headlines. This is not simply about tariff adjustments or procurement commitments. It reflects a broader shift in the global economic order, where supply chains are increasingly shaped by security considerations rather than pure efficiency. Taiwan’s central role in semiconductors and advanced manufacturing places it at the heart of this transformation.

We will explore the structural forces that led to this agreement, its immediate macroeconomic implications for Taiwan, and the longer-term strategic trade-offs. Does deeper integration with the United States strengthen Taiwan’s economic resilience, or does it gradually reshape the geography of its technological advantage? Let’s take a closer look at what this deal really means.

在今天的節目中，我們將探討臺灣與美國之間持續演變的貿易安排，以及它在新聞標題之外所代表的意義。這不只是關於關稅或採購承諾，而是反映全球經濟秩序的轉變——供應鏈的布局越來越受到安全優先考量的影響，而不再僅僅追求效率。臺灣在半導體與先進製造領域的關鍵角色，使其處於這場轉型的核心位置。

本集將分析促成這項協議的結構性因素、對臺灣短期總體經濟的影響，以及長期的戰略意涵。更深入地整合美國市場，究竟能否強化臺灣的經濟穩定性，還是會逐步改變其技術優勢的地理分布？讓我們理性檢視這項協議對臺灣未來發展所釋放的訊號。

AmCham Taiwan’s 2026 Business Climate Survey offers a structured snapshot of how foreign businesses are balancing growth, risk, and investment decisions in Taiwan. Conducted Nov 18–Dec 21, 2025 with responses from 206 member companies, the survey reports that 82% of respondents are confident about Taiwan’s economic outlook for the next 12 months, and 92% plan to maintain or increase investment this year.

This episode uses the report as the backbone of the discussion—moving beyond headlines to unpack what the numbers imply about Taiwan’s AI-driven expansion and the parallel rise of operational resilience planning. The survey notes that 46% of firms are updating emergency preparedness and business continuity measures, highlighting a dual reality: strong investment intent alongside intensified risk management as security concerns remain salient.

台灣美國商會（AmCham Taiwan）近期發布《2026 年商業景氣調查（Business Climate Survey）》，這份報告等於替外商在臺灣的「風險—投資—成長」心態做了一次系統盤點：調查期間為 2025/11/18–12/21，回收 206 家會員企業意見；結果顯示，82% 受訪者對未來 12 個月臺灣經濟展望抱持信心，同時有 92% 表示今年將維持或增加在臺投資。

本集節目以這份景氣報告作為主軸，逐段拆解它真正透露的訊號：AI 需求推升伺服器與先進晶片投資，讓「成長敘事」更有底氣，但地緣風險與營運持續性管理也同步升溫。報告指出，企業啟動或更新緊急應變與營運持續計畫的比例已上升到 46%，反映在樂觀投資之外，外商更在意「可預期的穩定」。

In this episode, we dive into the real forces reshaping the semiconductor world: export controls, licensing regimes, and the race for AI chip supremacy. The industry is undergoing a permanent structural shift where security now commands the budget, and regional fragmentation is the new reality.
Join us as we break down why "tariffs move the margins, but geopolitics moves the market". Whether you are an investor or a tech enthusiast, this episode will help you focus on what actually matters—from overseas fab expansions to advanced-node leadership.

歡迎收聽本集節目。近期美台關稅調降的消息引發市場關注，本集我們將探討真正驅動 2026 年晶片市場的底層邏輯：出口管制、技術領先地位以及美中地緣政治競爭。隨著全球供應鏈從追求「效率」轉向「安全與韌性」，台灣雖穩居全球晶片棋盤的核心，卻也面臨地緣政治的脆弱性。我們將分析為什麼對台積電（TSMC）等巨頭而言，取得 EUV 設備與遵守出口法規，遠比關稅調整更具決定性。

In this episode, we invited Tesoro Venture Capital Founder and Managing Partner Andy Lombard to share how he identifies future industry leaders amid the trillion-dollar global race in semiconductors and AI.
Developing a new chip often takes close to a decade and requires tens of millions of U.S. dollars in investment. Tesoro approaches this challenge through a model it calls “Codependent Innovation,” working in close collaboration with ecosystem partners such as TSMC, Cadence, and Amkor. By embedding startups directly into this network, Tesoro helps establish real-time feedback loops that significantly shorten development cycles. Andy explains in detail how Tesoro’s accelerator programs are designed to compress both R&D timelines and costs, with an ambitious goal: to cultivate the next generation of TSMC’s most important global customers within the next five years.
Beyond investment strategy, Andy also discusses how Tesoro is working to replicate the success of Taiwan’s Hsinchu Science Park in the “Silicon Desert” of Phoenix. Tesoro is actively connecting leading universities—such as the University of Arizona and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University—with advanced research centers, focusing on frontier domains including Physical AI, robotics, photonics, and AI chips engineered for extreme environments such as space.
In this episode, we take a closer look at how Tesoro supports Taiwanese and global startups as they establish a presence in the U.S. market. Through cross-border collaboration and what Andy describes as a “corridor effect,” Tesoro aims to accelerate the commercialization of next-generation hard technologies and help shape a truly global ecosystem for physical, real-world AI.

在本集節目中，我們邀請到 Tesoro Venture Capital 的創辦人兼管理合夥人 Andy Lombard，與我們分享他如何在價值兆元的半導體與 AI 競賽中挖掘未來的產業巨頭。開發一顆晶片通常需要耗時十年並投入數千萬美金，但 Tesoro 透過「共同依賴式創新（Codependent Innovation）」模式，與台積電 (TSMC)、Cadence 及 Amkor 等生態系夥伴緊密合作，為新創公司建立即時的反饋機制。Andy 詳細介紹了他們如何透過加速器計畫壓縮研發時間與成本，目標是在未來五年內，為台積電培養出下一批最重要的全球大客戶。
