SHENZHEN, CHINA – 28 August 2026 – TIME named He Tingbo, President of HiSilicon, Huawei's semiconductor division, to the 2026 TIME100 AI, a list recognizing the 100 most influential people in artificial intelligence.
In May 2026, He Tingbo unveiled the "Tau (τ) Scaling Law" at the IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems in Shanghai: a proposal to replace the geometric shrinking of Moore's Law with time-based scaling as the guiding principle for semiconductors and the electronic systems built on them. In the past decade under her leadership, the company has built its competitive edge in AI computing including Ascend AI accelerators, Kunpeng server processors, and UnifiedBus-enabled SuperPoD systems.
Questions around this news
Why was He Tingbo named to the 2026 TIME100 AI?
TIME included He Tingbo, president of HiSilicon, in its 2026 list of 100 influential people in artificial intelligence. The release says TIME’s editors and reporters reviewed significant AI stories from the past year and consulted expert sources and industry leaders when developing recommendations for the list.
What is an AI accelerator?
An AI accelerator is a type of processor or computing component designed to handle tasks used in artificial intelligence, such as training or running machine-learning models. Accelerators can work alongside general-purpose processors and are often built to perform particular computations efficiently. Their capabilities vary by design and intended use.
What are Moore’s Law and geometric scaling?
Moore’s Law is an observation about the long-term trend of increasing transistor counts on integrated circuits. Geometric scaling refers to shrinking dimensions by a repeated proportion, rather than by a fixed amount. In semiconductor discussions, these concepts relate to how chip structures have become smaller and how that has influenced computing capabilities.
