the foundational stance on artificial intelligence (AI) to guide future policies and regulations.<\/li>\n<li>The act aligns with international standards, defining AI and adopting a regulatory approach similar to the EU AI Act to facilitate global cooperation and market integration.<\/li>\n<li>The National Science and Technology Council and the Ministry of Digital Affairs will lead the implementation and governance of AI, focusing on risk assessment, policy promotion, and regulatory compliance.<\/li>\n<li>The AI Basic Act articulates seven core principles for AI governance: sustainable development, human autonomy, privacy protection, cybersecurity, transparency, fairness, and accountability.<\/li>\n<li>Private enterprises must manage high-risk AI systems, alerting users to potential risks, with the classification of high-risk status determined by multistakeholder consultations.<\/li>\n<li>The Ministry of Digital Affairs will promote an internationally interoperable AI risk management framework and assist various government agencies in developing sector-specific AI management guidelines.<\/li>\n<li>Strict regulations and prohibitions are outlined for AI applications that infringe on rights, disrupt social order, or engage in discrimination, fraud, or misinformation.<\/li>\n<li>The act supports an open data framework to enhance the availability and quality of AI training data, while ensuring personal data protection and data minimization in AI development.<\/li>\n<li>The government commits to increased funding for AI research, developing a regulatory sandbox, and fostering AI education and talent cultivation to protect labor rights amidst AI-driven transformations.<\/li>\n<li>Taiwan has two years to align existing laws and enact new legislation to comply with the AI Basic Act&#8217;s principles, urging private firms to proactively develop internal AI governance frameworks and stay informed of regulatory changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taiwan&#8217;s strategic leap into AI: Enacting the AI Basic Act to foster innovation, governance
