Taiwan Pushes Sovereign AI as a Matter of National Security
Taiwan is advancing “sovereign AI” to reduce reliance on foreign AI models. The government says it has become a national security priority, shifting to train AI models using local data. The English language currently dominates the training of AI models, making up over 50% of training data, while Chinese accounts for only 5% and is predominantly the simplified Chinese used in China, leading to fears of information bias where Taiwan is concerned.
