Taiwan’s AI Governance Framework

Taiwan’s Artificial Intelligence Basic Act provides a national foundation for AI policy, while implementation is shared across government bodies and supported by agency guidance.

The approach combines broad principles with risk-based controls: the Ministry of Digital Affairs has issued a risk classification framework and guidance for public-sector AI, while sectoral measures address areas including finance and healthcare. Key questions include how authorities coordinate, how transparency and high-risk systems are handled, and how data governance balances innovation with fundamental rights. National policy also links AI development to Taiwanese data and democratic values.
