I guess to summarize my question, do you think mitigating AI risks is a big priority for the Taiwanese government? If yes, what kind of risks do they see as high priority for them? If not, what aspects of AI are they focused on making progress in?

My general sense is that it hasn’t gone into great detail, but certainly has acknowledged risks such as bias in algorithms and lack of transparency, for example, in the AI Readiness Report. And it has mostly linked discussions on regulating AI to its existing laws, such as Personal Data Protection ...

I guess maybe I can just begin by asking you, do you think that the government policy documents in Taiwan have engaged in this discussion of AI risk?

Firstly, not all countries have engaged with this topic of AI risk in the same way, such that the extent of discussions, let alone the content itself, really varies across country documents. We realized that the answers we’d get through this might require us to make several assumptions. So, we ...

For example, for Taiwan, we looked at the AI action plan that was released in 2019 by the Department of Information Services in the Executive Yuan, and also the Taiwan AI Readiness Assessment Report, which was published by the National Science and Technology Council. Unfortunately, we realized that there are ...

Our questions are, broadly speaking, about AI risk overall. And by providing clarity on how various actors perceive or prioritize AI risks, we hope that this project’s work can aid efforts at international cooperation on responsible AI development. In terms of a methodology, we were earlier looking to study AI ...

And one of the projects that I’m working on currently, as I mentioned to you in my email and also across the documents, looks to study AI risk perceptions across a bunch of countries. Basically, it aims to study the convergences and divergences in understanding the nature, degree, and urgency ...

So, I’m a researcher working at OpenAI’s geopolitics team, which is housed under the broader policy research team. And the policy research team essentially looks at understanding the current and potential impact of OpenAI on the world and for recommending the best possible policies for dealing with advanced AI capabilities. ...

Yeah, certainly, certainly. I have no problem with that. I have time on hand and no hard stops. I guess maybe I can quickly begin by introducing myself and telling you a little bit about our project and what we’re hoping to achieve, just to kind of set context.

Okay, yeah. I guess we can take it free-flowing if that’s okay. I know we have about an hour block, but depending on if we get done sooner or later, if that’s okay.

So basically, I was hoping to use this meeting to ask you a bunch of questions, just as follow-ups on the document that I shared earlier and also just other questions that I had.

Thank you so much for taking out the time to do this with me and for being so kind to offer your time and support in the work we’re doing. So yeah, really grateful for that.
