The morning session of the #2026AIForecast hosted by CommonWealth Magazine on April 29 centered on the "Taiwan-US Manufacturing Industry White Paper," a 2026 research initiative promoted by our Foundation. The event brought together the white paper's authors, Professor Jane Hsu and Professor H.-S. Philip Wong, alongside key figures in Taiwan-US industry relations: TEEMA Vice Chairman Hu Hui-sen and the white paper project convener, Chairman Chu Chao-min. Building upon our Foundation's "Taiwan-US Co-Production and Intellectual Property Protection International Forum" held on April 17, the session featured an in-depth dialogue exploring how to ensure core technologies and R&D remain rooted in Taiwan while advancing US expansion, as well as the practical challenges of local implementation.

TEEMA Vice Chairman Hu Hui-sen pointed out that the US lacks comprehensive industrial park infrastructure. He urged enterprises to conduct R&D and pilot production in Taiwan, and then scale up mass production based on regional market demands. Meanwhile, Jane Hsu, Dean of the College of Intelligent Computing at Chang Gung University, suggested that Taiwan should transform into a breeding ground for AI and semiconductor talent, extensively recruiting international students to bridge the talent gap.

Chu Chao-min, Chairman of the International Artificial Intelligence and Law Research Foundation, cautioned that Taiwan must establish nuanced regulations for critical technologies. By categorizing technologies involving national security into "prohibited" and "restricted" tiers, Taiwan can strengthen its leverage in international negotiations while continuing to balance industrial development.
