Google will recruit Taiwanese talents for ambitious project
After AWS and Microsoft, Google has also decided to look into Taiwan’s talent pool for their ambitious project related to artificial intelligence (AI) technology, reports Taiwan News. After the official announcement on Monday, AI project will be conducted with the help of talented locals, and the number of new positions to be created is yet to be announced. This will represent the largest plan of its kind in this country since Google established their office in Taipei in 2006. Taiwan has been playing a crucial part in the development of the latest applications for Android, Chrome and Google. Taiwan also has some of the best universities specialized in the information technology and engineering.
