Following the long COVID-19 pandemic, physical exhibitions finally returned to Computex in 2023. Even though the event did not reach the pre-pandemic level of grandeur, it still attracted significant market attention. Artificial intelligence (AI) was the core theme of the event. Looking at the market for AI-powered solutions, the recent emergence of AI-generated content (AIGC) has led to more emphasis on the related technological developments on the side of devices. The concept of "Hybrid AI" has also been proposed by numerous companies involved in this field. As for consumer electronics, the exhibitions at Computex 2023 revealed that device manufacturers are now investing more on new kinds of technologies and products as the mature market for the traditional kinds of consumer electronics experiences stagnant growth. Examples of new technologies and products include Wi-Fi 7, notebook computers featuring a "glasses-less 3D" display, and charging piles.
