Chinese AI is focused on information management, a Beijing-based governance model and the commercialization of AI, Democratic Governance Program director Huang Kai-shen (黃凱紳) said. Program deputy director Lai You-hao (賴又豪) said that China’s alleged attempt to siphon information from other countries is apparent in its push for global markets to deploy its AI software. Liu I-chen (劉以正), Asia-Pacific program officer for the London-based Article 19 rights group, said that human rights risk being undermined or abused by using Chinese-developed AI models. Chou Chih-ho (周智禾), deputy director-general of the Ministry of Digital Affairs’ Cyber Security Administration, said that Taipei has been improving information security since 2001. Tu Yu-yin (涂予尹), a professor of public administration at Tamkang University, said that information security systems are not the crux of the issue.
