TAIPEI, May 27 (Reuters) - Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said on Wednesday that Taiwan is the "epicentre" of the AI revolution and the island will be the world's technology manufacturing hub for a long time to come.

Huang was speaking at a launch celebration in Taipei for the chip company's planned Taiwan headquarters, which he said will break ground this year with plans to become operational in 2030.
