Episode 19 & 20 - Is Taiwan Falling Behind in AI?
In this two-part episode, we explore how Taiwan is navigating the global race in artificial intelligence, from its world-leading semiconductor foundation to the urgent push for a sovereign AI ecosystem. We look at the impact of China’s DeepSeek breakthrough in early 2025, the opportunities and risks of open-source models, and the challenges Taiwan faces in developing its own language models. Through expert voices, we examine how talent cultivation, education reform and industry collaboration will shape whether Taiwan can remain a leader in this technology while protecting its cultural identity and democratic values.
