Of digital services. All these five, they have tension. They are not always coherent, but I think we picked the central one, which is rebuilding trust . I am not in fear of anything, really. Every little bit I do, as long as I’m accountable and transparent, it’s inching toward that value.
Second, is the kind of assurance that it...because both the Hyperledger stuff and the Enterprise Ethereum stuff relies on the fact that if this is not trustworthy , people like 10 times or 100 times larger than theirs at stake will suffer greatly, so it’s kind of a deference to their capabilities.
I think the most important thing for a career public servant is to give up the illusion that we can control the national agenda in a meaningful way, and then also trust the collective intelligence more, instead of characterizing people as ignorant or populous masses or whatever. We’re way past that now.
That’s become their favorite tactic, and just downright destroying the furniture, the proceedings, and so on. Due process is what we already are doing. There’s no obstacle in adopting it, but convincing the civil society that the due process actually leads to predictable results is difficult, because trust is quite irrational.
…That will be the best thing because then he will foster a kind of trade agreement that’s not nation to nation but rather trust system to trust system.
For democracies, this really is key. We must see the cracks in our societies—broken trust , polarization, environmental cracks—not as reasons for despair, but as invitations for collaboration, those openings for light. We must treat these fractures not with cynicism, but with salves of goodness. This is the treatment prescribed by Right Livelihood.
So long story short, I think using web3 as an objective and using civic as another objective. So web3 means interoperable across wider jurisdictions. Civic meaning that we’re closer and trust each other more. So, together they become a decentralized civic infrastructure. And that is the vision of the plurality section, I believe.
We don’t belong to any party, a non-partisan or all-partisan, depending, taking all the sides. We’re now building much more firm ground in terms of mutual trust . That nowadays, if you ask a random person in Taiwan, they would say that Audrey Tang truly is non-partisan or all-partisan.
Yeah, the mother, yeah. But you maybe need the father, too, I guess. ‘Cause it doesn’t seem to be happening anyway, because I think many governments have this challenge, not so much trust . But still, it’s not coming up with such a radical idea, I think, and it’s an excellent one.
Oh, okay. Yeah, I think we work on that intersection. I think for a little time, trust with the AI and also the European initiative on this. And also, right now with the EU AI Act, that’s something we’re interested in. Also making the bridge to industry, how they will incorporate this.
That dialogue platform is also our purview. Also on the National Institute of Cybersecurity or NICE, our role is to ensure that all the governmental agencies, critical infrastructure, and so on, upgrade to the latest versions of the cybersecurity strategic system, including the zero trust architecture and also the T road for data exchange.
It also prompted us to begin this September, this semester to adopt a way for the disadvantaged children to also bring those iPads and laptops home. Previously, they have to go to school because our zero- trust cybersecurity wasn’t all the way there. We rely on an internal network to keep them safe.
They do see that the young people are citing Taiwan, referencing Taiwan, and saying that the government should trust their citizens more. That the young people, and not necessarily young people, people who are new to this whole public policy sign. They could be very old but took on an interest in public participation.
Yes, so they just send SMS 1922 because they already trust that number. Then, type the 15 location code and then finish the check in. Only when it’s easier, and saves time compared to writing their phone number on a piece of paper, would they use the SMS. It has to save time.
If people don’t, for example, trust their own Bluetooth device for the Exposure Notification, there is an alternative. They can actually using pen and paper to write a number even prepaid SMS number or email, anything that could reach them if there is exposure and writes down like physically before entering a place.
In a sense, to aspire, not to be good citizens, but good ancestors. That made it a prosocialness span across generations. To me is one of the younger generation. I was 14, 15 when I joined the free software movement. I feel trusted by the people who are much more senior than my age.
It used to be only printed on paper based on Freedom of Information laws. Where we, as in the g0v community, run this CAPTCHA to re-digitize those paper records so that everybody can do analysis on campaign expenditure. Control Yuan said, “The social sector, you can’t trust their OCR” — Otaku character recognition.
I think there’s a couple things – literally two things. One is about the government trusting citizens. We use this approach that we call people-public-private partnership, which is not unlike the slogans other jurisdictions use, but we put people first. That is to say, the social sector come up with the norm.
I see myself as a channel, something empty like a clay that’s cut to make a pot and into which people can put their trustworthiness that they have toward one another. I hold a place to make sure that co-creation, the discovery of common values out of different positions can happen naturally.
I think all these individual elements are easy to adapt in other jurisdictions. Taiwan model is not a one-size-fits-all thing. It’s rather a very gentle idea that if government trusts their citizens more, citizens can innovate better than governments. Then we apply it in various ways – fast, fear, and fun.
