AI Systems to Produce 1,000-Fold More Data Than Humans
(MENAFN) Artificial intelligence (AI) systems will generate 1,000 times more data than humans, creating a critical global shortage in data storage capacity, the inventor of the USB flash drive has warned.
Datuk Pua Khein-Seng, the creator of the world’s first single-chip USB memory and current CEO of Phison Electronics, issued the alert during the GITEX Global technology conference in Dubai, speaking to media.
Khein-Seng, who launched the single-chip USB flash drive in 2001, said his company has since shifted toward memory card and NAND flash storage technologies, now essential for a wide range of electronic devices including computers and cameras.
His firm is currently developing NAND memory controllers and storage systems, which he said are poised to become even more critical as AI accelerates data consumption.
“Flash memory will be the only solution to let the AI systems make (an) expansion because memory is under constraint,” Khein-Seng told media.
He emphasized that the true bottleneck in AI infrastructure is not expensive GPUs, but limited DRAM memory, a challenge that can be eased through adaptive layered memory expansion using flash technology.
According to Khein-Seng, the global shift toward AI will place unprecedented demand on data storage systems: “Every person and system in the world requires large storage spaces,” he said, forecasting a spike in NAND storage needs.
He also raised concerns about centralized dominance in cloud-based AI. “99% of people use AI through cloud systems and the US and China lead in cloud AI systems, while other countries lack the capacity to build new cloud AI solutions,” he said. “Because it needs a lot of capital, human resources, talent, and knowledge — if the world can only use cloud AI from either the US or China, that is a problem.”
While Khein-Seng acknowledged that many nations aim to develop their own AI capabilities, he stressed the challenges involved: high costs and significant talent gaps. His proposed solution is building entire AI infrastructures around flash memory, reducing reliance on high-end GPUs and instead using more affordable, lower-power processors.
“We need a lot of AI blue-collar in this market to help take the open source, customize to every application,” he added.
Although Taiwan has become a leader in AI hardware manufacturing, he admitted the country still trails in AI software development.
He noted that the top players in storage technology remain the US, Japan, South Korea, and China, but proudly stated that Taiwan has now joined them as the fifth country capable of developing its own storage systems independently.
