Taiwan Legislator: Yunlin Must Share AI Dividends, Not Miss Out

President Lai Ching-te's proposal to distribute NT$10,000 to every citizen next year has garnered support from legislator Liu Chien-kuo. Liu stressed that the benefits of artificial intelligence should be shared by all, and the job opportunities AI creates should not be concentrated in a few major cities. He specifically highlighted Yunlin County's need to participate in this AI-driven economic growth.

“

AI red envelopes must be shared by all citizens, and the industrial and job opportunities brought by AI cannot be concentrated in a few cities. Yunlin must not be absent!

Liu is actively working to ensure Yunlin is not left behind. He has petitioned the Executive Yuan to secure funding for revitalizing the former Huankou University campus. The plan is to transform the site into a training base for AI and drone talent. This initiative aims to cultivate local expertise and foster AI-related startups within the county.

Yunlin not only needs to share the AI red envelopes but also join the ranks of AI development.

Furthermore, Liu envisions a collaborative approach, linking local universities like Huwei University of Science and Technology and Yunlin University of Science and Technology with regional industries. This strategy, termed "one region, one AI youth innovation base," seeks to nurture AI talent within Yunlin. The goal is to establish a robust AI technology industry in the county, enabling more young people to find fulfilling jobs and remain in their hometowns, thereby creating Yunlin's own share of AI dividends.
