From one of our leading chroniclers of the intersection of innovation and capitalism, a landmark reckoning— based on unprecedented access— with one of the world’s most brilliant and driven tech visionaries and his game-changing company.Even by the standard of a tech industry stacked with so-called visionary leaders possessed of the godspark of genius, Demis Hassabis is universally recognized as a special case. Born poor in North London to immigrant parents, a dominant chess prodigy by age five and wizard coder in his teens, he turned down a seven figure offer before he turned 18 to feed his insatiable scientific curiosity at Cambridge. Later, he added a neuroscience PhD to his computer science skills to pursue the dream of artificial general intelligence, his ultimate goal to solve the world’s hardest problems and usher in an era of super-abundance. And along with a small group of fellow travelers around the world, that is the path he is very much still on, winning a Nobel Prize along

對多數人來說，電力很少被特別注意，或許只存在於按下開關後的明亮、遙控器一按就吹出的冷氣、睡前為手機插上充電線的一刻，或是帳單上每兩個月一次出現的數字。然而，隨著數位轉型時代來臨，各行各業更加重視服務品質與用戶感受，電力服務正逐步從單向供應，走向增強雙向互動的智慧化用電賦能。本期聚焦呈現智慧電表基礎設施（Advanced Metering Infrastructure，AMI）布建後的數位應用成果。當全臺超過410萬具智慧電表持續計算、回傳資料，如何將龐大的用電數據，轉譯為大眾看得懂、用得上的生活資訊，便成為台電近年推動數位轉型的核心挑戰之一。除了硬體升級，台電亦積極調整角色定位，從單純的發電與供電者，轉化為陪伴用戶的「能源管家」。透過手機下載「台灣電力APP」，讓AMI資訊落實為貼近生活需求、提升居家用電可視化的多元服務。經由人工智慧（Artificial Intelligence，AI）演算法導入，用戶透過台灣電力APP、無需安裝額外裝置，即可於「住宅用電分析」服務，看到家電耗能情形，使「節能」從口號轉化為有跡可循的日常行動。這些AMI資訊也在台電跨單位協作研發下，延伸至社會關懷應用，例如透過「用電作息指標」分析用電規律性，為獨居長者織起一張隱形的守護網。從台灣電力APP上的曲線圖表，到結合在地慶典的實體推廣活動，台電持續拉近電力與民眾之間的距離，讓電力服務不再只是生硬冰冷的公共建設，而是更貼近生活的日常服務，並期盼為臺灣智慧電力生活的未來藍圖，描繪出更具溫度的樣貌。
