We must strictly guard against AI technology interfering in elections, online disinformation smearing campaigns, and the infiltration of foreign funds, which are new types of digital crimes.

Kaohsiung District Prosecutor's Office Chief Prosecutor Huang Yuan-guan emphasized the need to guard against these new forms of digital crime. He, along with other prosecutors, met with Yancheng Police Precinct Chief Kao Te-chang and other officials to strategize. The meeting aimed to enhance intelligence gathering and law enforcement capabilities to ensure a fair and just election process.

Police presented an analysis of the local election landscape, public security, and their preparations for election integrity. The prosecutor's office shared insights on key areas for investigation, intelligence collection techniques, and legal applications. They stressed the importance of precise targeting and leveraging technology to counter illicit methods that could disrupt the election atmosphere.

Police and prosecutors are one body, the most solid backing for justice. Law enforcement colleagues must uphold the principle of 'strict law enforcement and human rights protection,' targeting hot spots for bribery and high-risk individuals in their jurisdictions to increase enforcement efforts, leaving no room for illicit intentions.

Prosecutor Huang noted that bribery tactics are evolving with technological advancements. He urged law enforcement to uphold the principles of "strict law enforcement and human rights protection." The Yancheng Police Precinct called on citizens to report any suspected bribery, disinformation campaigns, or election violence by dialing the anti-bribery hotline.
