AI, defense funding to be increased

The government's budget for science and technology is set to increase by 14.9 percent with the goal of transforming Taiwan into an exporter of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, as announced by Premier Cho Jung-tai. The plan includes training 200,000 individuals with AI-related skills over the next eight years and drafting regulations to govern AI development and implementation.

The increased budget for AI and science will allocate additional funds for semiconductors, AI, and space communications. President William Lai's administration is focused on enhancing AI awareness among senior ministerial officials to ensure its integration into government operations. The plan also includes an 'assistance fund' for trusted industry sectors like semiconductors, AI, military, security and surveillance, and next-generation communications.
