Taiwan and the United States are “indispensable, complementary partners” in advancing artificial intelligence, Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim said on March 24, highlighting shared democratic values and aligned technology strategies.
Hsiao delivered her remarks via recorded video at the Hill and Valley Forum. The one-day event in Washington brought together Silicon Valley executives and Washington policymakers, including Sens. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) and Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who both warned that the AI race is a high-stakes battle, with serious consequences if China takes the lead.
