第一則：黃仁勳未隨川普訪中 外界猜測 AI 晶片合作遭限制
多家外媒報導，輝達執行長黃仁勳未被列入美國總統川普此次訪問中國的企業代表團名單。白宮表示，此行商業重點將聚焦農業與商用航空領域。
市場分析，黃仁勳缺席可能代表輝達推動 AI 晶片銷往中國的計畫遇到阻力，美國政府也被認為正透過此舉，向中國釋出限制先進 AI 晶片合作的訊號。
Jensen Huang Not Joining Trump’s China Visit, Speculation Grows Over Restrictions on AI Chip Cooperation
Several foreign media outlets reported that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was not included in the business delegation for the U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to China. The White House said the trip will focus mainly on agriculture and commercial aviation.
Market analysts said Huang’s absence may show that Nvidia is facing difficulties in selling AI chip sales to China. The U.S. government is also believed to be sending a signal to China through this move, signaling tighter restrictions on advanced AI chip cooperation.
第二則：最新平均月薪 4 萬 8！ 7 成勞工賺不到錢
主計總處於 5 月 11 日公布最新薪資統計，3 月全體受雇員工平均經常性薪資為 4 萬 8,768 元，若加計獎金與加班費後，平均總薪資達 5 萬 7,509 元，年增率創 16 年同期新高。
不過，統計也顯示約有 7 成受雇員工薪資低於平均值，主計總處表示，AI 產業帶動高薪成長，但也進一步拉大整體薪資差距。
Taiwan’s Average Monthly Salary Reaches 48,000, but 70% Earn Less
Taiwan’s Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics released the latest salary data on May 11. In March, the average regular monthly salary for employees reached NT$48,768. After adding bonuses and overtime pay, the average total salary rose to NT$57,509, marking the highest growth for the same period in 16 years.
However, the statistics also showed that about 70% of employees earn less than the average salary. The agency said the AI industry has helped boost higher salaries, but it has also widened the overall income gap.
第三則：日本簽證變嚴格 異國餐廳爆歇業潮
日本近期有多家異國餐廳陸續停業，日媒指出，日本政府為防止外國人濫用經營管理簽證與健保制度，大幅提高簽證申請門檻，導致許多外籍餐廳老闆面臨資金與人力壓力。
新制度要求外國業者需具備更高資本額，並聘用符合資格的員工，市場也擔心，缺工與簽證限制問題未來可能擴大影響營造業與長照等高度依賴外籍勞工的產業。
Stricter Visa Rules in Japan Lead to Closures of Foreign Restaurants
Many foreign restaurants in Japan have recently closed down. Japanese media reported that the Japanese government has greatly raised the requirements for visas to prevent foreigners from abusing the Business Manager Visa and National Health Insurance, putting financial and staffing pressure on many foreign restaurant owners.
Under the new rules, foreign business owners must meet higher capital requirements and hire qualified employees. There are also concerns that labor shortages and visa restrictions may later affect industries such as construction and long-term care, which rely heavily on foreign workers.
第四則：掃地機器人始祖殞落 AI 改寫科技產品競爭
美國掃地機器人品牌 iRobot 曾是市場先行者，但在中國品牌快速崛起與產品創新壓力下，市場地位逐漸被超越。iRobot 在產品更新與使用體驗上反應較慢，導致競爭力下降。
AI 正在改變硬體產業的競爭模式。部分新品牌將 AI 直接整合到產品功能中，使設備能辨識環境與物體，提升使用體驗。專家指出，未來硬體產品的核心競爭力，將取決於 AI 與硬體整合的能力。
Robot Vacuum Pioneer Falls, AI Reshapes Competition in Tech Products
The American robot vacuum brand iRobot was once a market pioneer. However, as Chinese brands rose quickly and product innovation pressure increased, its market position was gradually overtaken. iRobot reacted more slowly in product updates and user experience, which weakened its competitiveness.
AI is now changing the competition in the hardware industry. Some new brands have directly integrated AI into product functions. This allows devices to recognize environments and objects and improve the user experience. Experts say that in the future, the key competitiveness of hardware products will depend on the ability to integrate AI with hardware.
第五則：AI 垃圾淹沒社群！專家警告加劇腦腐現象
Meta 與 YouTube 湧入大量低品質 AI 圖文與影片，平台演算法又持續放大這類內容，讓使用者常被重複空洞的資訊洗版。
學者擔憂，長期暴露在這類缺乏深度的內容中，可能加劇「腦腐」現象，削弱專注力、與資訊判斷能力，也讓整體數位使用習慣受到影響。
AI Slop Takes Over Feeds! Experts Warn of Worse Brain Rot
Meta and YouTube are being flooded with low-quality AI-generated posts and videos, while platform algorithms continue to amplify this type of content, leaving users constantly overwhelmed by repetitive and empty information.
Scholars warn that long-term exposure to this kind of shallow content may worsen the “brain rot” effect, weakening attention spans and judgment skills while also affecting overall digital habits.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was absent from Trump’s China business delegation, raising market concerns that U.S.-China cooperation on advanced AI chips may face growing restrictions.
Taiwan’s average salary has continued to rise with support from the AI industry, but most workers still earn below the average as the income gap keeps widening.
Japan’s stricter visa rules are causing many foreign restaurants to shut down, while raising concerns about future labor shortages in the industries that rely heavily on foreign workers.
The fall of robot vacuum pioneer iRobot shows how companies that fail to integrate AI quickly into their products may lose competitiveness in the rapidly changing technology market.
Experts warn that the growing wave of shallow AI-generated posts and videos may be harming users’ attention and digital behavior.
In the next episode, we will together explore the recent hot news with you in the morning. Don’t forget to come back. Have a nice day and hear me next time. Bye.
