As part of our monthly TFCCxATJ Talk Series, the Association of Taiwan Journalists will be hosting Lee-feng Chien (簡立峰), former Managing Director of Google Taiwan, for a talk on Wednesday, March 25. Chien will explore the essence of “sovereign AI,” how the United States and China consolidate their dominance through technological monopolies, and why it is urgent for Taiwan to develop its own AI capabilities. The discussion will address digital sovereignty, its direct implications for national security and autonomous development.
