Pegatron chairman Tung Tzu-hsien says a change in US political control is unlikely to halt AI development or leave data centres short of power. The Taipei Times reports that he made the remarks in Taipei, arguing that AI has become central to US competitiveness.
Why it mattersTung also dismissed concerns about electricity costs in Texas, citing cheap natural-gas power. That is his assessment, not a guarantee that future data centres will face no local or grid constraints. The AI boom’s next test may be as much about power and public consent as party politics.
