Today, APEC economic leaders held a dialogue with ABAC representatives, which was personally hosted by U.S. Vice President Harris Harris.
Lin Zhichen, who is representing Taiwan in his seventh year, said that APEC was originally intended to promote free trade cooperation. Over time, technological issues have emerged. Since the rise of ChatGPT, AI has become a hot topic. AI is discussed in every meeting. This year ABAC also It was mentioned that next year we will start to promote the formulation of AI-related frameworks in the Asia-Pacific region, “so that AI can be understood and security is guaranteed.”

Zhang Jiayuan explained that AI includes three elements: data power, computing power, and algorithms. Among them, computing power requires computer support, and computers require many chips. Therefore, the AI industry supply chain will be a major focus in the future, and data and chips will be combined into a new ecosystem.
Zhang Jiayuan gave an example. AI has a wide range of applications. Currently, it is first introduced to industries with complete data and demand. Then it has encountered epidemics in recent years.

What Taiwan can pay attention to is the accuracy of data and the continuous strengthening of resilience in off-site backup.

Next year, smart solutions will be promoted. Lin Zhichen hopes to make more contributions to AI framework discussions.
