Experts Gather to Analyze the Impact and Response to the Full-Scale Arrival of AI Across Fifteen Aspects (Economic Daily News Summary):

On the topic of the "Basic Law of Artificial Intelligence," the speaker, Liao Wei-Hsiang—Adjunct Researcher at the AI International Law Research Foundation and Legal Head for Taiwan at Foxconn Technology Group—pointed out that the European Parliament recently passed the "EU AI Act" this month.

However, he noted that the Foundation's "Working Group for Drafting the Basic Law of Artificial Intelligence" had already referenced the then-draft EU AI Act and incorporated its core spirit into the Taiwan draft during their initial drafting process.

Mr. Liao explained that the draft primarily focuses on the protection of human rights and ethical principles, risk-tiered supervision and management, and promoting a comprehensive legal review. The legislative purpose is policy-oriented, aiming to serve as a foundational "mother law" (framework law) that allows various government agencies the flexibility to formulate subsidiary laws in response to AI developments.
  • The main features of the draft are:
  • Legalization of AI ethical principles.
  • A state-led industrial development strategy implemented at the national level.
  • Emphasis on social equity and the protection of vulnerable groups.
  • High importance placed on privacy and personal data protection.
  • Establishment of a comprehensive AI regulatory sandbox.
  • Differential application of regulatory strictness based on the risk level of AI products or services.
