So now speaking of AI regulation again. How does it look in Taiwan? Is it about you defining now also design principles about how this technology or large language models should be designed? Is it in the law? Is it like you define, it’s not a technological neutral way as ...

So, I still have some doubts about this willingness of being permanently involved, like discussing this deep level online on a permanent level, like from the young people for example. So I mean, it’s hard to imagine that the AI Assemblies you mentioned… That would be something very interesting also ...

Like, does it require specific skills from citizens, tech sophistication, tech fairness, a strong sense for the community? And also quite an incredible amount of—as I said—some young people and some older people having free time to participate online? So I feel like… is there something where you think it ...

So you’re a cyber ambassador promoting this model of digital democracy for the rest of the world. But I was wondering when I’m reading your interviews and also looking at the global reality… doesn’t this require something specific? Is there a strong cultural component in the Taiwan digital democracy model?

But I think Europe is trying too, no? Like with the Digital Markets Act, having interoperability…

But still, I mean, our main digital communication infrastructure is provided here in Europe and possibly everywhere mostly provided by some American big tech companies. Since already 20 years or 15 years or whatever. How can Europe be motivated or what could be the incentives to design their own market ...

So in Switzerland we think that digital democracy equals internet voting. And equals e-collecting, the collection of signatures for initiatives and referendums. And we think that’s enough and it’s kind of perfect this way. But yeah, I mean… But the question is, we don’t have this digital, this infrastructure for ...

Did you also discuss that with Pol.is at the end of the day?

And you said… once you brought up another example in an interview about… one of the topics was: Should Taiwan change its time zone?

Colin Megill. He told me about that. And I also wrote then in my first book I called “Smartphone Democracy” about this case. And he showed me this live demo. And it was really astonishing, as you said. There he showed me this example: Do we want to have Uber ...

But then I heard about Taiwan and about Pol.is. And I got a video call with someone who developed Pol.is…

But let’s just start with also a personal note about the first time I heard about Taiwan and the two words “Pol.is.” That was in 2017. Was really one of my defining, eye-opening moments in my career as tech journalist when I heard about Pol.is. And then also the movement ...

Now? Yes. Thank you so much for this introduction. For standing here in the front, not as a student here in the row. Also as a student from Professor Krüger… Well. Yeah, there are so many aspects you said in your… admirable speech. I will discuss, like, AI regulation, polarization ...
