NCSIST Chairman Wu Cheng-wen emphasized the importance for Taiwan to develop Sovereign AI and establish autonomous AI systems, working with international companies to assist industries and service sectors in AI application development. The plan includes a 10-year, NT$300 billion project focusing on advancing Taiwan's IC design sector. Acknowledging the significance of Sovereign AI, Wu mentioned Taiwan's strengths in semiconductors and hardware manufacturing but highlighted the need for independent systems, applications, and services to enhance national security. The goal is for Taiwan to become the 'Island of AI' with its own data centers, computing power, and cloud services to control and leverage data accurately for citizen services.
