These efforts aimed to assist companies in expanding business opportunities, identifying potential clients and strategic partners, and bolstering the global visibility and competitiveness of Taiwan’s cybersecurity solutions.MODA emphasized its commitment to three strategic pillars: “Cybersecurity Technological Autonomy,” “Cybersecurity Industry Scaling,” and “Cybersecurity Market Internationalization.” By building domestic verification and testing capacity, aligning the industry with international standards, and deepening global partnerships, MODA aims to assist Taiwanese cybersecurity firms in their continued overseas expansion. Through this government-industry collaboration, the goal is to gradually develop Taiwan into a core node in a secure, trusted, and resilient global digital supply chain. <發布日期>2026-03-25T15:11:40 <更新日期>2026-03-31T16:31:05 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/pg3d5pfi.4vn.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/0hc0appn.t0l.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/czlbfxkf.1cd.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/qds4p1zs.0yr.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/onv3hzyb.iuh.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/19082.html <標題>MODA's Four Major Policy Initiatives Yields Remarkable Results in Taiwan's Digital Transformation <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) held a media networking session today (4th) to recapitulate four transformation achievements in 2025, namely promotion of the artificial intelligent (AI) industry development, strengthening of cybersecurity resilience, implementation of anti-fraud measures, and consolidation of digital government initiatives. Lin Yi-jing, Minister of Digital Affairs, pointed out that over the past year, MODA has gradually shifted from a traditional mindset of providing subsidy to a business management approach in promoting government affairs, allowing it to focus on resolving industry pain points. Looking ahead to 2026, MODA will continue to expand this digital momentum, transforming technological research and development into tangible economic value.Technology-Based Fraud Prevention Measures and Expansion of the Fraud-Fighting SamaritansIn response to the public's concern about fraud, MODA proactively implements source management through technological means. The Fraud Buster System app which has been downloaded 54,000 times, received over 610,000 reports, and successfully removed nearly 300,000 illegal and fraudulent messages. MODA has asked platforms such as Meta, Google, and LINE to join the Fraud-Fighting Samaritans. Of which, Meta used the fraudulent messages reported and removed by MODA to train its AI interception system, and has successfully blocked more than 7.8 million fraudulent messages targeting Taiwan.Building a Healthy AI Ecosystem: Precise Allocation of Five Policy ToolsMinister Lin emphasized that the software industry should transform towards generating products, and the development of AI must be implemented through the integration of five major policy tools covering computing power, data, talent, marketing, and funding.In terms of computing power, MODA is proactively deploying underlying resources. As of the end of 2025, the GPU (graphics processing unit) computing power pool built by the Administration for Digital Industries had assisted 186 enterprises in developing at least 266 models and AI services. Furthermore, MODA also proactively coordinated with the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) to officially issue an interpretation letter recognizing AI computing power centers as a strategic industry. To further enhance investment incentives, MODA is keen to incorporate the construction of AI computing power in major public infrastructure projects that promote public participation. The tax expenditure assessment report has been completed and submitted to the Ministry of Finance for review, in order to increase the incentive for enterprises to participate in major national construction projects.Regarding data, MODA released the draft “Act on Promoting the Development of Data Innovation and Utilization” in August 2025. The official Taiwan Sovereign AI Training Corpus was also launched at the end of last year. Containing more than 1.1 billion tokens, it has garnered 86,717 visits, and attracted applications from entities including TAIDE and Google DeepMind. It ensures that Taiwan has the core competitiveness to develop its own unique AI.In terms of talent, the AI Industry Talent Guidelines were released to delineate talent measurement standards. Meanwhile, the Taiwan Artificial Intelligence Government Talent Office (TAIGTO) was established with the Directorate-General of Personnel Administration to equip civil servants with practical capabilities in operating AI.Regarding marketing, Minister Lin emphasized that what startups need most is not government subsidies, but a large number of steady orders. Over the past year, MODA proactively organized industry matchmaking events (Demo Day), working with guilds to connect AI technology with fields such as healthcare, hospital information system (HIS), and rehabilitation technology. This will facilitate the commercialization of new products.In terms of funding, MODA has allocated NT$10 billion to promote the Implementation Project for Strengthening Investment in AI Startups. As of February 2026, six projects have been approved, driving private investment of over NT$300 million by effectively leveraging government funding.Strengthening National Communications and Cyber Resilience: Comprehensive Security DefenseMODA is committed to achieving the goals of no network outages, no system hacking, and no data loss. To this end, MODA completed several key deployments by 2025. In terms of cybersecurity, comprehensive protection is provided from three aspects: legal, technological, and commercial. On the legal front, the amendment to the Cyber Security Management Act has been completed; on the technology front, a comprehensive protection mechanism covering the pre-event, during-event, and post-event stages are established; on the commercial side, MODA is working with industry partners to promote the SEMI E187 Semiconductor Equipment Cybersecurity Certification Program. In terms of resilience, the depth of communication defense is enhanced from three aspects: land (fixed and mobile networks), sea (submarine cable maintenance and backup), and air (Non-Geostationary Satellite Orbit covering low-, medium-, and high-earth orbits) to ensure smooth communication under extreme conditions.Digital Government: Design Centered on People's NeedsMODA continues to optimize public services and promote a more relevant digital government. MODA established an official registration platform for the “Cash for Everyone,” i.e., the universal cash handout of NT$10,000. Furthermore, MODA officially launched the Taiwan Digital Identity Wallet (TW DIW) App last year and began trial operation at convenience stores, allowing people to pick up packages without carrying their ID cards. The next step is to cooperate with various universities, car rental companies, ticketing companies and other businesses to provide the public with more convenient and diverse digital services. In the future, we will continue to promote an integrated process centered on “life events” to simplify administrative applications from birth to death.Looking Ahead to 2026: Protecting Safety, Ramping up Value CreationMinister Lin concluded by emphasizing that 2025 was a year of “deepening roots and bridging” for MODA. In 2026, it will play the role of “Digital Engine” and will help enterprises create higher economic value through policy dividends, so that the results of digital transformation can be implemented in the lives of all people. <發布日期>2026-03-04T17:52:05 <更新日期>2026-03-13T09:40:32 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/18880.html <標題>Applying for Social Housing Made Easy—Get It Done Online Quickly with MODA’s MyData Platform <網頁內容>Interested in applying for social housing but worried about complicated procedures? Now, through the Ministry of Digital Affairs’ (MODA) Human-Centered Data Use (MyData) Platform, you can complete the entire process online, making your social housing application faster and more convenient. Currently, the National Housing and Urban Regeneration Center under the Ministry of the Interior, as well as the cities of Taipei, Taoyuan, Taichung, and Tainan, have integrated with the MyData platform to provide social housing application services. No need to leave home, prepare paper documents, or queue at government offices—simply complete your application online with ease. Application periods for social housing vary by region. Members of the public are encouraged to make use of the service according to their needs.MODA pointed out that through the MyData platform, members of the public can quickly obtain relevant information such as household registration, property ownership, and income data, eliminating the cumbersome process of applying in person at government offices and preparing paper documents. Information related to family members required for a social housing application can also be quickly retrieved via the MyData platform after each family member completes identity verification. By using the MyData platform, not only is data accuracy improved, but the overall application processing time can also be effectively reduced.For example, MODA is currently collaborating with the Taipei Housing and Urban Regeneration Center to allow pre-registration for social housing applications. Members of the public may visit the Taipei City Social Housing Unified Registration Platform at any time and use MyData to connect their information for pre-registration, thereby becoming a “prospective applicant.” In the future, the Taipei City Social Housing Unified Registration Platform will proactively notify prospective applicants of social housing rental information. Members of the public will only need to log in again and click “Apply for Social Housing” to complete the application process with a single click. To encourage the public to experience digital application services, those who complete registration before the end of February 2026 will also be eligible to participate in a lucky draw for a chance to win convenience store gift vouchers.MODA stated that the MyData platform integrates data across government agencies and operates under a user consent mechanism. While ensuring personal data security and privacy protection, it helps members of the public to utilize personal information already held by government agencies, thereby reducing the need for travel and administrative burdens. In the future, MODA will continue to promote the expansion of MyData platform applications across government agencies, state-owned enterprises, and financial institutions, further enhancing the digitalization and convenience of public services.A convenient life starts with MyData—For more public-friendly services, please visit the MyData platform: https://mydata.nat.gov.tw. <發布日期>2026-02-23T16:39:28 <更新日期>2026-03-04T16:41:16 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/18878.html <標題>Carry Your Taiwan Digital Identity Wallet on the Go—Scan to Pick Up at Convenience Stores and Get It Done Swiftly! <網頁內容>Galloping into the Lunar New Year! During the Lunar New Year holiday, when people visit relatives and friends and exchange gifts, it is also the peak period for picking up online shopping gift boxes and products. The Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) is actively promoting the application of the Taiwan Digital Identity Wallet (TW DIW). When collecting online shopping parcels at convenience stores, people no longer need to worry about forgetting to bring their physical IDs—simply presenting a QR code on their mobile phone is enough to complete identity verification. MODA pointed out that this service not only significantly improves the efficiency of daily life for the public and the operations of convenience stores, but also, through “minimal information disclosure” technology, enables people to enjoy secure and convenient services instantly.Picking up online shopping parcels at convenience stores has become part of people’s daily lives. Especially during the Lunar New Year period, when logistics activity is frequent, being unable to collect a parcel due to not carrying a physical ID can delay gift-giving during the holidays and cause considerable inconvenience. MODA noted that TW DIW has now been successfully introduced for parcel collection at convenience stores. Store clerks only need to scan the encrypted QR code on a customer’s mobile phone to quickly verify their eligibility to pick up the parcel. This initiative not only eliminates the hassle of searching for identification documents, but also, through a digitalized process, helps convenience stores shorten verification time, realizing the smart vision of “instant services in everyday life.”In addition, the greatest difference between TW DIW and physical IDs lies in its ability to effectively protect privacy. MODA explained that when traditional physical IDs are inspected, individuals are often required to disclose all the information shown on the document, such as their name, ID number, and date of birth. By contrast, TW DIW adopts advanced verification technology under which the system verifies only the necessary information, while all other unrelated data remain protected. This significantly reduces the risk of personal data leakage and builds a secure safeguard for the public’s digital lives.MODA stated that TW DIW is a key infrastructure for the nation’s smart living initiatives. It will continue to enhance the user experience and actively collaborate with more private companies to expand its application scenarios into a wider range of everyday administrative and commercial services. Through public–private partnerships, MODA hopes to simplify complex procedures and, together with the public, usher in a high-efficiency digital year marked by swift success, security, and convenience. <發布日期>2026-02-19T16:37:27 <更新日期>2026-03-04T16:39:10 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/18876.html <標題>My e-Government Becomes Your Ultimate Teammate—MODA Integrates Real-Time Images Across Taiwan to Ensure Smooth Lunar New Year Travel in the Year of the Horse <網頁內容>To welcome the nine-day Lunar New Year holiday, and to help the public avoid traffic congestion and crowded areas, the Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) has launched an integrated Lunar New Year service on the My e-Government website.

She met with relevant U.S. agencies and reached a consensus with senior U.S. officials on deepening cooperation in several areas, including AI governance, communications resilience, and the development of the digital industry. Deputy Minister Hou pointed out that Minister Lin Yi-jing of Digital Affairs strongly advocates the use of five major policy tools—computing power, data, talent, marketing, and funding—to assist Taiwan's digital industry in accelerating the adoption of core AI strategies. Through strategic alignment between Taiwan's Five Trusted Industry Sectors and Ten Major AI Infrastructure Projects, and America’s AI Action Plan, MODA will continue to implement practical exchanges between Taiwan and the U.S. in the digital field.Following the Pax Silica Summit held in the U.S. last December, Deputy Minister Hou recently traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend a high-level EPPD meeting and witness the signing of the Joint Statement on the Pax Silica Declaration and U.S.-Taiwan Cooperation on Economic Security. This underscores MODA's key role in promoting digital policy and international exchange. Through continuous investment in various areas, MODA meets the requirements for international cooperation and alignment as provided in the Artificial Intelligence Fundamental Act.Deputy Minister Hou further pointed out that “trust” is the core foundation of AI development. Under the vision of Pax Silica, Taiwan is not only a key node in the global AI hardware supply chain, but also an important strategic partner in promoting a trustworthy AI ecosystem in terms of software. Cooperation between Taiwan and the U.S. will maximize the benefits of AI innovation while effectively addressing potential digital risks, thereby laying a reliable foundation for global digital development.Deputy Minister Hou explained that in terms of AI governance, Taiwan and the U.S. have reached a consensus and are in discussion on promoting the development and application of a trustworthy traditional Chinese corpus in large language models (LLMs) to jointly shape a diverse and open sovereign AI data foundation. The discussion also explores cooperation in third countries to promote a trustworthy AI system.MODA launched the Taiwan Sovereign AI Training Corpus last December. To date, more than 200 agencies have made contribution to the corpus, with more than 3,000 datasets and 1.1 billion tokens uploaded, covering multiple fields such as culture and art, language and vocabulary, and historical artifacts. MODA will continue to enrich corpus content and provide high-quality corpora with Taiwanese perspectives and cultural characteristics to support the training needs of the sovereign AI model.Meanwhile, the U.S. supports Taiwan in exploring advanced communications technologies as part of a multi-faceted approach for enhancement of communications resilience. Joining forces with the U.S. and allied countries, Taiwan will establish “trusted connectivity” in the fields of submarine cables and other information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure.For submarine cable protection, MODA adopts a public-private partnership model to implement protection mechanisms. This includes strengthening the regulatory monitoring of flag of convenience (FOC) vessels and attaching aggravated criminal liability for damaging submarine cables. At the same time, MODA also supervises operators to conduct safety protection drills and subsidizes the construction of submarine cables, cable landing stations, and microwave backup systems. In addition, efforts are being made to encourage domestic telecommunications operators to align with international standards, adopt the latest protection technologies, and deepen transnational cooperation. For example, Chunghwa Telecom has joined the consortia of two major international submarine cable maintenance regional agreements.In satellite communications, MODA is actively building a diverse satellite response network, and will explore cooperation with U.S. low-Earth orbit satellite service providers to enhance Taiwan’s overall communications resilience.In addition, Taiwan and the U.S. reached a consensus to jointly promote the cultivation and development of AI talent and technology, and exchanged views on the AI Academy cooperation framework.

In 2025, household internet access reached 93.4%, while individual internet access reached 90.3%, with both figures setting new historical records. The survey indicates that the Taiwanese public relies heavily on the internet for communication and entertainment, while usage of online banking and cloud services has also surpassed 50%, demonstrating that digital technologies are deeply and comprehensively integrated into daily life.According to MODA, Taiwan’s individual internet access has shown steady growth since 2020, with both household and individual internet access rates reaching new highs in 2025. In terms of internet usage behavior, among internet users aged 12 and above, the most common online activities over the past three months remained instant messaging (97.2%) and online video entertainment (91.2%). These results are consistent with the 2024 survey. In addition, digital activities with usage rates above 50% included searching for product or service information (69.6%), online reading (68.5%), online banking (59.8%), and cloud storage use (54.8%), reflecting the widespread application of digital tools in daily life and financial services.Notably, 46.9% of the public used Wikipedia for information search, a 3.4% decrease from the 2024 survey. According to MODA’s analysis, this trend may reflect ongoing changes in how people obtain information in the AI era or indicate that entertainment and instant messaging have shifted attention away from traditional search behaviors—an area that will be a key focus of future digital research.MODA further stated that the survey aims to assess the current status and development trends of digital access among the Taiwanese population, providing an important basis for government policy planning and current resource allocation reviewing. The survey covers “ICT access, usage and literacy,” “residence,” “education and skills”. In addition to reporting overall digital accessibility, the survey examines differences in digital access among groups differentiate by aspects like gender and place of residence, aiming to enhance public well-being and promote balanced, inclusive digital development.MODA noted that the survey targeted people aged 12 and above across 22 counties and cities in Taiwan and was conducted via landline and mobile phones. The latest survey was conducted from May to July 2025, collecting 15,142 valid responses, with an average sampling error of ±0.8%.

This platform is the first to introduce a “try-before-you-buy” mechanism by providing a dedicated environment that fully complies with government cybersecurity regulations. This enables agencies to verify their actual needs before procurement, thereby not only ensuring that taxpayers’ money is spent precisely where it is needed, but also, through an AI Bots Marketplace model of “government posing the problems, industry delivering the solutions,” incentivizing the development of Taiwan’s domestic AI software industry, thus fostering a new ecosystem of public-private collaboration.Since its launch on March 31 this year, the TryAI Platform has demonstrated significant results. Currently, the platform features 32 language models, including TAIDE, Gemini, and ChatGPT, and 20 general-purpose AI tools, and is now in use by over 30 agencies. Among them, the Ministry of Health and Welfare has utilized the platform to develop a powerful tool for government use. This has drastically shortened the manual preparation of meeting minutes, which originally required 30 to 40 hours, to just 6 hours, an efficiency increase of more than fivefold. Furthermore, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Finance, and the Public Construction Commission of the Executive Yuan have applied AI to practical operations such as report review, document research, and procurement law Q&A, confirming that AI can effectively mitigate administrative burdens and enhance the efficiency of public services.MODA further explained that the TryAI Platform is not only a tool library, but also an incubator for Taiwan’s domestic AI industry. To help agencies adopt AI with confidence, MODA identified shared needs across government agencies (e.g., document drafting assistants and press release generators) and partnered with domestic IT service providers to develop and list specialized generative AI tools on the AI Bots Marketplace. Staff can trial the tools for free, then, upon confirming that they meet their requirements, swiftly procure them via a joint supply contract. This model not only minimizes the trial-and-error cost for government agencies but also generates precise market opportunities for Taiwanese AI software companies.Looking ahead, MODA will continue to refine the TryAI Platform environment and deepen public-private partnerships by hosting events such as the "Digital Government AI Solution Matching Briefing Session." Through these efforts, MODA hopes to establish a virtuous cycle where the government initiates the demands and the industry develops the solutions, thereby accelerating the implementation of AI tools in the public sector, jointly building a smarter, highly efficient digital government, and ultimately providing citizens with better public services. <發布日期>2025-11-18T13:49:44 <更新日期>2026-03-19T17:30:08 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/1gpymak1.q0a.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/2thwcldc.xbq.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/htx3qxe0.rvs.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/17904.html <標題>Convenience with MyData, Apply for Social Housing Passports with Ease <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) announced today (13th) that the autonomous use of personalized data (MyData) platform, is continuing to expand its user base and improve user experience. Adopting a human-centered approach, the platform has developed a range of services spanning convenient living, livelihood assistance, family care, social welfare, education, tax services, women and children’s care, consumer finance, and competency development. The MyData platform provided a cumulative total of 143 downloadable data types, 135 counter services, and 915 online services. It has more than 1.4 million members and has accumulated over 6.8 million uses. This endeavor fosters collaboration between central and local governments, expanding the range of online services and bringing digital technology into everyday life.MODA explained that, under the National Housing and Urban Regeneration Center’s Safe and Sound Social Housing service’s livelihood assistance theme, applicants can use the MyData platform. By completing identity verification and providing consent, applicants can quickly access information such as household registration, assets, and income. The entire process can be completed online, without the need to visit government offices or submit any paper documents! Preparing the necessary documents used to take at least one day. Now, through MyData, all required documents can be obtained at once, allowing applications to be completed in less than 15 minutes.Under the convenient living theme, the Bureau of Consular Affairs offers a conditional online passport renewal service. Applicants who are 18 years or older, possess a Taiwan household registration, have a passport that is either expired or has less than 6 months of validity remaining, have not lost their passport, and whose passport data page remains unchanged can utilize the MyData platform for identity verification and consent, allowing them to retrieve necessary documents, such as household registration and passport data, to complete the online application. Once the new passport is issued, applicants can collect it from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or designated local offices. So far, this service has been used more than 100,000 times.MODA explained that local governments are actively expanding their online services. For example, Changhua County, Nantou County, Pingtung County, and Chiayi City are quickly integrating with MyData. In October 2025, Changhua County introduced 28 online services, including employment and student loan interest subsidies for youths who remain or return to their hometowns. This initiative addresses the challenges of obtaining inter-agency documents by enabling applications to be submitted without time or location constraints, thereby significantly improving processing efficiency.To promote the service, MODA launched the MyData Mission Challenge — Win Valuable Prizes Easily online event, which runs from November 12 until 6:00 p.m. on November 28.

The event attracted more than 80 representatives from the industry, government, academia, and research sectors, as well as international organizations. The workshop focused on issues such as standards for verifiable credentials (VCs), technical architecture, privacy protection, and cross-border verification, opening a new chapter for Taiwan’s digital trust and bringing Taiwan more in line with international standards.Deputy Minister Isabel Hou of the MODA stated that Taiwan’s accession to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is proof of Taiwan’s active participation and efforts in the field of international digital standards and verifiable credentials. This workshop allows Taiwan to learn from case studies in countries such as the UK, US, France, and Japan, thereby jointly promoting the development of cross-border verification technology. In the future, the MODA will continue to strengthen public-private partnerships and international collaboration in order to create a secure and reliable digital credential ecosystem.The main focus of this workshop was “Digital Trust and Collaboration,” emphasizing that digital credentials are the cornerstone of the digital society and trust economy. It also explored how to build a decentralized governance model centered on “citizen data autonomy,” aiming to establish a trust-based verifiable credential ecosystem through open standards and international collaboration. The event invited experts from the W3C and several speakers from around the world to deliver keynote speeches and participate in panel discussions, covering topics such as the latest developments in the W3C Verifiable Credentials 2.0 standard, international cooperation in digital public infrastructure, and development strategies for balancing digital credentials and privacy.The W3C’s Principal Data Strategist Pierre-Antoine Champin, the lead speaker at the workshop, stated that the Digital Credentials API represents a significant breakthrough in data verification and authorization. Based on the three principles of cross-platform compatibility, privacy, and standardization, it allows users to securely display credentials through a browser or digital credential wallet and use selective disclosure technology to prove specific attributes, while also ensuring privacy is not compromised. The API also emphasizes user consent and authorization, provides a clear user interface, strengthens users’ control over their data, and promotes a safer and more privacy-oriented online trust ecosystem.During the workshop, experts from the Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas also shared their practical experiences in the application of digital credentials, showcasing the important progress made globally in digital credential innovation. Through the discussions throughout the day, the MODA hopes that all sectors can reach a consensus and implement tangible cooperation, from standards to practices, thus laying a stronger foundation of trust for the digital society of the future.The MODA noted that this workshop is an important step forward in the international cooperation on the Taiwan Digital Identity Wallet. In the future, Taiwan will work with the W3C, WCAP, and partners in the Asia-Pacific to promote standardization and applications, strengthen privacy and digital trust, and lay new foundations for Taiwan’s digital governance and industrial innovation. <發布日期>2025-11-06T17:33:36 <更新日期>2025-11-13T17:38:18 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/r2rqfyxn.nby.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/bni2fkvj.tp2.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/wup33jg4.kc4.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/5wnts1c4.4hv.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/uwgah14o.zsg.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/17800.html <標題>Online Registration for the “Cash for Everyone” Universal Cash Handout Officially Launches Tomorrow: Register Online for the Most Convenient, Safe, and Time-Saving Option <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) and the Ministry of Finance held a press conference today on November 4th to announce the website for the “Cash for Everyone” universal cash handout, 10000.gov.tw, will launch its online registration function at 8:00 AM on November 5th. Members of the public will be able to easily register for the handout from their homes using their mobile phones, tablets, or computers. This eliminates the need to go out or stand in line. After the registration information is verified in the system, the cash will be transferred directly to the bank account designated. Members of the public are encouraged to prioritize this method of receiving the handout, as it is the quickest and easiest.The MODA stated that the design of the online registration system has fully taken into account user-friendliness and fairness. To ensure system stability and a smooth registration process for everyone during the initial launch period, the first five days of the registration (November 5 to 9) have been divided based on “the last digit of the National ID number or resident permit number,” in which registration will be opened for two digits each day (numbers ending in 0 or 1 for November 5, numbers ending in 2 or 3 for November 6, and so forth). Registration will be fully open regardless of the last digit starting from November 10.The MODA also explained that online registration only requires three pieces of information: the National ID number or resident permit number of the applicant or the person collecting the handout on behalf of the applicant, an account number at a financial institution, and the applicant’s National Health Insurance card number. The cash handout will be deposited for those who successfully register starting from November 12. Applicants who accidentally enter the wrong information do not need to worry about not receiving the handout. Starting from November 13, the “Check Registration Results” function will be opened on the website, using which applicants will be able to check the progress of their handout. If the results show “Deposit Failed” or “Account Verification Failed,” they can simply return to the website to re-enter the correct information. The online registration period will last until April 30, 2026. Applicants can freely choose a time that is convenient for them; there is no need to rush to complete the registration.The MODA would like to remind the public that the only official website for the cash handout is 10000.gov.tw, therefore applicants are urged to make sure they are on the right site. The government will not send unsolicited text messages or emails to notify members of the public to register or collect the handout, and will not call members of the public on the phone to instruct them to conduct any monetary transfers at an ATM or using online banking. Anyone who asks for an ATM PIN or SMS verification code is a scammer. Please be vigilant, and do not click on any suspicious links. Furthermore, please contact the 165 Anti-fraud Hotline immediately if you receive any suspicious messages, so that we can prevent fraud together.Please visit 10000.gov.tw/news for more updates on the universal cash handout. <發布日期>2025-11-04T17:26:25 <更新日期>2025-11-13T17:33:31 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/mh5jsqay.lb0.png <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/17790.html <標題>2025 IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking: Taiwan Ranks Top 3 Globally in 8 Indicators <網頁內容>The International Institute for Management Development (IMD) in Lausanne, Switzerland, today (4th) released its 2025 World Digital Competitiveness Ranking (DCR), in which Taiwan ranked 10th globally among 69 major countries and economies. The Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) stated that among the 3 evaluation factors, Taiwan's most outstanding performance was in the "Future Readiness" factor, where its global ranking jumped 3 places from last year to 3rd. In terms of other 2 factors, "Technology" and "Knowledge," Taiwan ranked 11th and 16th globally, respectively. Overall, Taiwan secured a global top-3 ranking in 8 indicators, thereby demonstrating its top-tier strength in specific digital domains. MODA noted that, for the indicators where Taiwan did not score as highly in the report, it would subsequently work with government agencies to study and develop concrete improvement measures to ensure Taiwan maintains its digital development advantage.MODA explained that Taiwan was ranked among the top 3 globally in 8 indicators, which underscores its strengths in R&D capacity, higher education, and business agility, thus laying a solid foundation for the development of the AI industry and digital transformation. Specifically, Taiwan continued to hold the top place in the indicator "IT and media stock market capitalization as a share of GDP." Taiwan ranked 2nd in 3 indicators: "total R&D expenditure as a percentage of GDP," "R&D personnel per thousand people," and "agility of companies." Furthermore, Taiwan ranked 3rd in 4 indicators: "educational assessment PISA - Math," "percentage of the population aged 25-34 with higher education," "corporate agility in responding to business opportunities or threats," and "corporate proficiency in using big data and analytics to aid decision-making."The IMD ranking uses 3 main factors, Knowledge, Technology, and Future Readiness, 9 sub-factors, and 61 indicators to assess the capacity and readiness of countries around the world to adapt to, explore, and fully utilize digital transformation.MODA indicated that the “Knowledge” factor primarily reflects the capacity of the assessed countries to learn new technologies. Taiwan ranked 16th globally in this factor, marking an improvement of 3 places from the previous year. The rankings for indicators such as "total R&D expenditure as a percentage of GDP," "senior managers with international experience," "domestic business environment's ability to attract foreign high-level talent," "proportion of scientific and technical personnel in the total employed population," "corporate emphasis on employee training," and "percentage of female graduates in higher education" all showed improvement. This demonstrates Taiwan's commitment to digital and technology talent development in both the academic and employment stages. MODA will continue to promote digital talent cultivation, collaborating with enterprises to reinforce fundamental training for youth and the digital empowerment of cross-disciplinary professionals. Furthermore, it will strengthen the recruitment of international digital experts to increase the supply of digital talent needed by the R&D and industry sectors.The “Technology” factor is used to assess a country's capacity to develop digital innovation technologies, and Taiwan ranked 11th globally in this factor. Improvements were observed in the rankings of indicators such as "legal support for technology development and application," "scientific research laws that encourage innovation," "funding for technological development," "telecommunications investment as a percentage of GDP," and "communication technologies (voice and data) meeting enterprise needs." This highlights the effectiveness of the Taiwanese government in creating a technology innovation-friendly environment and promoting the construction and application of 5G networks. In response to the AI boom, MODA will strive to perfect a legal framework conducive to the development and application of AI. Furthermore, it will strengthen the implementation of AI industry policies from a product-oriented perspective and promote investment in the AI industry, with the goal of continuously advancing Taiwan's rank in these indicators.The “Future Readiness” factor measures a country's extent of digital transformation. Taiwan ranked 3rd globally in this factor, an improvement of 3 places compared to last year. Improvements were also observed in the rankings of indicators such as "corporate agility in responding to business opportunities or threats," "corporate proficiency in using big data and analytics to aid decision-making," "Internet retailing," "people's flexibility and adaptability to new challenges," "development and maturation of knowledge transfer between industry and academia," "working population who give up entrepreneurial opportunities for fear of failure," "public-private partnerships that stimulate technological development," and "degree of legal protection for Internet user privacy." These results not only reflect Taiwan's high competitiveness in corporate agility and underscore the government's achievements in public-private technology cooperation and personal data privacy protection, but also showcase the resilience of the public when facing a dynamic environment.MODA announced that regarding the weaker indicators cited in the IMD report, specifically "proportion of female researchers" and "student-to-faculty ratio in higher education," relevant agencies will subsequently collaborate to address these issues. Regarding the "level of legalization of AI policies," MODA has already proposed the Draft Act on Promoting the Development of Data Innovation and Utilization and submitted it to the Executive Yuan for review. In the future, following the third reading and passage of the AI Basic Act, MODA will promptly introduce an "AI Risk Classification Framework." MODA will also collaborate with all government agencies to revise relevant regulations or guidelines concerning the impact of AI, and will proactively publish English-language materials to continuously strengthen international communication and enhance the visibility of Taiwan's efforts and achievements in AI governance.Moving forward, MODA will continue to evaluate its digital development strengths, focusing on 4 main pillars: "Promoting AI Industry Development," "Strengthening Cybersecurity Resilience," "Implementing Anti-Fraud Measures," and "Enhancing Digital Government Construction." In doing so, MODA aims to accelerate digital innovation and transformation across the public and private sectors, guiding society toward a safer, more convenient, and prosperous digital future. <發布日期>2025-11-04T15:43:49 <更新日期>2025-11-10T15:46:35 <相關圖片> <相關檔案>https://www-api.moda.gov.tw/File/Get/moda/en/O3TZc5VQDuto6LN <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/17758.html <標題>MODA Hosts the “Sovereign AI and Sustainable Development” International Expert Symposium — Exploring New Horizons in AI Governance <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) held the “Sovereign AI and Sustainable Development International Expert Symposium” today (October 29).

The online registration platform allows registrants to receive the handout as a direct deposit into their bank account. To ensure the recipient is the rightful claimant, the system must therefore verify that the account is personally held by the registrant, and that the account holder's name and details match their National ID number and NHI card number. Those without a domestic bank account must collect the handout in person at post office counters with their National ID card. This is a critical mechanism to prevent fraudulent online claims.The public has raised questions about why the universal cash handout sets 13 as the minimum age for remittance by proxy. MODA stated that this rule continues the 2023 universal cash handout model and references the Civil Code’s definitions of persons “without legal capacity” and those “limited in capacity.”● Children under 7 lack legal capacity, so all financial transactions must be handled by their parents. Accordingly, the universal cash handout will be collected by the parents and verified using the child’s NHI card and the parent’s national ID and bank account.● Children aged 7 to under 13 have basic judgment capacity, allowing parents to collect the handout on their behalf or to receive it via a bank account in the child’s name, offering families greater flexibility.● Adolescents aged 13 and above can independently manage financial matters and thus claim the handout themselves.This age tiering balances legal compliance with practical needs, allowing parents and children to select the most suitable option based on their family circumstances.MODA emphasized that in designing the collection process, the agency placed special focus on identity verification and data security to guarantee the accurate issuance of the handouts. At the same time, the process also respects the financial autonomy of adolescents. Finally, MODA reminds the public that all official government information is based exclusively on the Universal Cash Handout website (10000.gov.tw). The public is urged not to trust unverified information or suspicious links, and to collaborate in preventing fraud. <發布日期>2025-10-28T17:26:07 <更新日期>2025-11-03T17:27:44 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/17728.html <標題>MODA Accelerates Takedown of Fraudulent Content by Digitizing Workflows and Partnering with Local Governments for Effective Anti-Fraud Operations <網頁內容>Combating fraud is a top priority for the current administration, requiring coordinated action between central and local governments. To this end, the Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) has launched the "Fraud Reporting and Inquiry Platform," enabling the public, central agencies, and local governments to submit reports, facilitating the rapid takedown of fraudulent ads. In response to the digitalization of government, central and local authorities are jointly prioritizing electronic document submission.Since the Fraud Crime Prevention Act took effect on July 31, 2024, the Taipei City Government has actively stepped up its anti-fraud efforts in line with the act. Starting in May 2025, it has issued official paper notices every 1-2 days, directing Meta to remove fraudulent ads detected by the city on its platform. On June 18 and July 14, the Taipei City Government reported to MODA instances where Meta failed to remove fraudulent ads within 24 hours, and requested that MODA fine Meta.Upon receiving the report from the Taipei City Government, MODA promptly convened a joint meeting on July 30 with prosecutors, police, investigators, and city officials. Meta was invited to present its position. The meeting concluded that Meta should be penalized for systemic failures, ordered to rectify the issues within a set deadline, and subsequently fined NT$2.5 million in accordance with the law. To date, MODA has imposed a total of NT$18.5 million in fines on Meta.According to Meta's statement during the meeting, the official documents delivered by the Taipei City Government were in paper form and did not include electronic files. Fraudulent URLs are typically alphanumeric strings, which, when manually entered, often lead to recognition errors (e.g., 1/I/l or 0/O). This extends processing time and prevents fraudulent ads from being accurately removed within 24 hours. To resolve delays caused by paper-based official document processing, MODA directed Meta to streamline its paper workflow within one month. On August 5, it convened a meeting with Meta and three other major online ad platforms, along with the Taipei City Government and all county/city governments, to discuss electronic notification solutions, including the use of electronic signatures and official document transmission, or parallel submission via email and CD, to boost processing efficiency and accuracy, and to reach a consensus. As of September 1, MODA has officially enabled all county and city governments to submit reports via the Fraud Reporting and Inquiry Platform. To date, the Taipei, Taichung, and Chiayi City Governments have used electronic reports through the system to request Meta to remove fraudulent ads.MODA believes that electronic official documents are clearly superior to paper for government notifications to Meta regarding taking down fraudulent content. Therefore, it will continue coordinating with the Taipei City Government and Meta to leverage digital tools to streamline Meta’s processes for taking down fraudulent content reported by government agencies, accelerate response times, reduce manual workload, and create a win-win outcome in the joint fight against fraud. <發布日期>2025-10-25T10:48:00 <更新日期>2025-10-31T10:49:58 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/17722.html <標題>Ministry of Digital Affairs Hosts 2025 Digital Identity Wallet International Forum: Global Experts Discuss Digital Trust and Innovative Application Potential <網頁內容>As global digital governance and cross-border data flows accelerate, digital trust and personal data autonomy have become core issues of international concern. Today (23rd), the Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) hosted the 2025 Digital Identity Wallet International Forum, bringing together government and industry experts from the United States, France, and New Zealand, along with domestic representatives from finance, healthcare, retail, education and other sectors.

International experts shared global trends, and domestic participants from industry, government, and academia jointly examined technical challenges and practical strategies. These efforts are expected to create more opportunities for Taiwan to engage in the wave of global digital transformation.The forum highlighted five key focus areas:Public-Private Collaborative InnovationInternational Application ScenariosBusiness and Ecosystem ModelsUser ExperienceTrust-based Implementation StrategiesFor example, the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) shared its experience integrating digital driver’s licenses and vehicle registrations into public transportation and traffic management. New Zealand’s Department of Internal Affairs discussed how it co-created the country’s digital identity blueprint through public-private partnership. A representative from France explained efforts to establish trust and interoperability for the European Union’s digital identity wallet. Through these in-depth discussions among domestic and international government representatives, experts, and scholars, participants gained a deeper understanding of the future application potential of digital identity wallets.The Ministry of Digital Affairs noted that the global digital ecosystem is evolving toward jointly building technology and trust, and that digital identity wallets will become indispensable infrastructure. Moving forward, while safeguarding personal privacy and information security, such wallets will facilitate data sharing and cross-border applications, and foster cross-sector collaborative efforts to build a competitive digital ecosystem. This collective initiative will help pave the way toward a more secure, open, mutually trusted, and highly connected digital future. <發布日期>2025-10-23T10:33:03 <更新日期>2025-10-27T10:36:02 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/qpefivjr.rbw.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/ouerc3ne.bmz.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/lphk4hey.gkw.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/r0bx0ueo.tuo.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/h1y0eb4y.bwg.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/17580.html <標題>Ministry of Digital Affairs Convenes Expert Seminar to Jointly Discuss Green Digital Service Development Blueprint <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) convened the “Green Digital Service Expert Seminar” on October 2. Focused on the theme: “Taiwan’s Green Digital Service Development Blueprint,” the seminar gathered experts from domestic industry, government, and academia to collaboratively explore strategies for promoting Taiwan’s green digital services and addressing digital sustainability challenges.

At Yilan Sports Park, MODA showcased its low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite terminal equipment and vehicle-mounted 5G O-RAN mobile base station, demonstrating how diverse communication networks secure stable command, dispatch, and external communications during a disaster. President Lai Ching-te also personally attended the demonstration, accompanied by Deputy Minister of Digital Affairs Yeh Ning.MODA explained that to bolster the government's emergency communication capabilities, it introduced the SES medium-earth orbit (MEO) and OneWeb LEO satellite systems between 2023 and 2024, completing the deployment of a satellite response network for government command nodes. In addition, in cooperation with the National Communications Commission (NCC) and telecom operators, MODA has deployed 30 vehicle-mounted LEO satellite mobile base stations to support communication needs during disasters.During Typhoon Danas in July and the torrential downpour on July 28, MODA, operating under the command of the Central Emergency Operation Center, collaborated with the NCC and telecom operators to deploy 28 vehicle-mounted OneWeb satellite mobile base stations to the disaster zones in southern Taiwan, thus effectively supporting communications in the affected areas and demonstrating communications resilience.For this drill, MODA collaborated with the Telecommunications Technology Center (TTC), Chunghwa Telecom, and Pegatron Corporation to conduct a proof-of-concept (PoC) demonstration, deploying domestically manufactured 5G O-RAN equipment on a mobile base station vehicle to provide emergency telephone services. By combining domestically produced equipment with a multi-layered communication architecture, the feasibility of rapidly restoring basic connectivity during a disaster was validated, thereby boosting both disaster relief and public communication capabilities.Communication networks serve as the foundation for social functioning and public life, and are also the crucial lifeline for disaster response. Faced with the increasingly severe challenges of extreme weather, MODA will continue to build diverse and heterogeneous communication networks to enhance the stability and resilience of the nation's communication systems, thus ensuring secure and reliable command and control communications during critical moments. <發布日期>2025-09-19T10:23:02 <更新日期>2025-10-01T10:25:08 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/50ls0gbw.u2d.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/jqwgnalr.lzn.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/2x1b3h0e.1gj.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/17482.html <標題>Over 100 Frontline Employees in Taichung Complete Training for MODA’s Government Agencies’ Official LINE Account Authentication Mechanism <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) is working closely with local governments in implementing the "Government Agencies’ Official LINE Account Authentication Mechanism," which allows citizens to easily verify the authenticity of official LINE accounts of government agencies in an intuitive way on LINE, the most commonly used communication platform. The MODA and LINE Taiwan jointly completed two online training sessions in September this year, and over 100 frontline employees of departments, district offices, and household registration offices under Taichung City Government participated in the training sessions. Taichung City Government is expected to be the first to begin using the blue shield certification at the end of September. Having a clear and consistent mark on accounts allows the public to more quickly identify correct information, further increasing the trust between the government and the public.The Government Agencies’ Official LINE Account Authentication Mechanismis designed to make it easy for the public to determine the authenticity of government LINE accounts.When people receive government information on LINE, they can quickly determine whether it is from an actual government agency by checking for a blue shield mark on the account, and examining whether the account name clearly indicates the agency name and the individual’s job title and name. This simple identification method can effectively reduce the risk of people being scammed by allowing them to determine the authenticity of accounts in daily use scenarios.To help achieve a consistent response among frontline service personnel and improve their response abilities, MODA and LINE Taiwan jointly completed two online training sessions on September 11 and 12, focusing on authentication concepts, standards for the account mark, and external application scenarios, helping civil servants to better meet citizens’ needs in practice. Taichung City Government is expected to be the first to use the mechanism at the end of September, and will first use the mechanism in government service accounts commonly used by the public, so that the identification mechanism will begin to benefit citizens from points of contact where they will be felt the most as soon as possible, and will gradually make a greater impact.Looking ahead, MODA will continue to collaborate with local governments and LINE to steadily expand the scope of implementation, ensuring that the official LINE accounts of government agencies will have a consistent mark that can be clearly identified and verified. MODA will continue to optimize service processes and jointly create a secure and trustworthy digital environment that allows citizens to understand, identify, and trust what they see in everyday communication scenarios. <發布日期>2025-09-18T13:47:50 <更新日期>2025-09-22T13:51:39 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/17422.html <標題>""2nd Spectrum of Tomorrow"" Is Great Success: ITU-R, APT, and Industry Leaders Convene to Discuss 6G Spectrum, Ground-Air Integration, and Dynamic Sharing <網頁內容>Minister Lin Yi-jing of Digital Affairs attended the "2nd Spectrum of Tomorrow" on September 17 to jointly explore the development trends and application prospects of 6G technology with international standard-setting organizations, including the International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) and the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT), as well as global industry leaders such as Qualcomm and Ericsson, alongside domestic experts from industry, government, academia, and R&D.

The Minister held a press conference over a tea reception on September 3. Minister Lin states that in the face of intensifying global competition, the Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) has focused on four key areas: promoting AI industry development, strengthening cybersecurity resilience, implementing anti-fraud measures, and enhancing digital government infrastructure. MODA has collaborated with industry, academia, and research institutions focused on these four key areas to build an innovative, secure, and citizen-oriented digital nation.Minister Lin also points out that AI is currently bringing about rapid changes to the global industrial landscape. MODA will therefore continue to leverage five major policy tools, computing power, data, talent, marketing and funding, to build a robust software environment able to help businesses enhance production capacity, promote international collaborations and foster a sustainable software environment. Separately, cybersecurity has also become an important part of national security. MODA will continue to work together with the private cybersecurity industry to enhance the overall protection of government agencies, critical infrastructure, and industry supply chains, improving Taiwan’s overall cybersecurity resilience. Taiwan’s strong cybersecurity software industry is an integral link in the global satellite supply chain. Together with other core industries, such as the semiconductors industry, these industries form an important pillar supporting the democratic supply chain. In the future, MODA will continue promoting the growth of the cybersecurity industry and encourage businesses to participate in building the industry, in order to establish a positive cycle where economic development can be achieved alongside fulfilling social responsibilities.With regard to the issue of fraud, which has attracted great concern from the public, Minister Lin emphasizes that MODA will continue implementing anti-fraud measures through a three-pronged approach, tackling the issue through legislation, technological measures, and working together with commercial businesses. On the legislative front, anti-fraud legislation has been completed and a real-name registration system for purchasing advertisements has been established. On the technological front, MODA has established the Online Fraud Reporting and Lookup platform, and introduced anonymized phone numbers for delivery services, DNS Response Policy Zones (RPZ), and government-exclusive shortcodes for SMS messages. Finally, MODA has also collaborated with platforms such as Google, Meta, and LINE on the business front, encouraging these companies to play an active role in preventing fraud to improve overall anti-fraud efforts.In terms of building digital government infrastructure, Minister Lin states that MODA will promote an integrated service platform design focused on services central to people’s lives. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology will be adopted to improve administrative efficiency, and MODA will continue efforts to develop a “digital credentials wallet”. Digital credentials are not only the foundation of the future digital world, but can also offer selective disclosure functions able to effectively protect the privacy of the public. The universality of these credentials are also expected to help Taiwan’s digital economy operate significantly more efficiently.Minister Lin finally emphasizes that the innovative developments made by the global high-tech industry, especially by the software industry, come from having a free and competitive private market. MODA’s core mission is to create an environment where Taiwan’s AI, cybersecurity, and information services industry can grow and thrive, allowing the information industry to solve the problems facing society while also contributing significant economic value. <發布日期>2025-09-03T16:04:50 <更新日期>2025-09-08T16:20:47 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/1ibbj5kv.qrg.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/17092.html <標題>Ministry of Digital Affairs, LINE Join Hands to Test Run Government Agencies’ Official LINE Account Authentication Mechanism <網頁內容>In recent years, fraud schemes have been evolving. People often receive messages from fraud groups impersonating government agencies, asking them to provide personal information or make remittance, or tricking them into clicking on links, resulting in personal data leaks or financial losses. The Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) announced on August 19 that it will cooperate with LINE to test run the government agencies’ official LINE account authentication mechanism to establish a unified standard to help the public quickly authenticate public accounts and lower the risk of being deceived. For government agencies whose official LINE accounts have passed certification, a blue shield label will be displayed, along with information such as agency, title of position, and name. MODA will provide operational guidance and educational training to assist agencies in implementing the certification and authentication mechanism in an orderly manner, thereby strengthening the government's anti-fraud efforts.MODA explained that the mechanism not only integrates government review and LINE’s authentication functions, but also makes official account information more transparent. The public only needs to verify the blue shield label, as well as the information on agency, title of position, and name. Taking "Wang Cheng-Ming, Director of the Ministry of Digital Affairs" for example. One can authenticate the official account and information through two simple factors. If the account sent does not bear the blue shield label, the agency, title of position, and name are not displayed, and the message content contains suspicious links and requires personal information, the public should remain vigilant and check repeatedly to avoid being deceived.MODA pointed out that in order to strengthen the authorization management mechanism of government agencies' official LINE accounts, it has established relevant management regulations, requiring agencies to assign dedicated personnel to manage official accounts, regularly check usage, and ensure that login passwords have adequate security strength and protection mechanisms. By strengthening management measures, the risk of government agencies’ official LINE accounts being misused can be reduced, and the public can be better protected from false information.MODA explained that fraudulent messages will undermine the trust between the government and the public. By jointly launching an official account authentication mechanism with LINE, the government hopes that the public will be able to more easily identify government accounts and receive notifications with peace of mind. MODA will proactively assist central and local government agencies in introducing and using the mechanism. It will continue to work with enterprises to prevent fraud at the source and create a safer digital communication environment. <發布日期>2025-08-19T15:00:15 <更新日期>2025-08-26T15:04:58 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/uv52wvyv.pes.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/osxdg2gf.12k.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/fpie1leg.cep.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/zatpv2ik.oih.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/axlicu5n.3xe.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/17032.html <標題>Public‑Private Collaboration to Foster Trustworthy AI Governance and Development, The Ministry of Digital Affairs held the Second Digital Economy Development Advisory Council Meeting <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs held the second Digital Economy Development Advisory Council Meeting on August 12, inviting experts from industry, academia, and research to build on the foundation established by broad public input from the first meeting.

These four related regulations formally opened the application process for mobile satellite communication frequencies for use in public telecommunications services. The revisions aim to strengthen Taiwan's digital resilience, expand telecommunications coverage, and promote the alignment of the satellite industry with international technologies.The Ministry stated that, to support the development of next-generation satellite communication services and related industries, it has finalized the necessary regulatory amendments and is now accepting applications from operators. In 2022, four internationally popular frequency bands for fixed satellite communication were released. In February 2025, the "Radio Frequency Supply Plan" was revised to open seven Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) frequency bands and expand the number of Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) bands to twelve. Additionally, the validity period for frequency use licenses has been extended from two years to five years to better accommodate the diverse needs of the market.The Ministry explained that the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has categorized satellite communication frequencies into fixed and mobile uses. Fixed satellite frequencies are typically for point-to-point services, including broadband internet, submarine cable backup, subsea cable communications, and satellite news gathering (SNG) vehicles. In comparison, mobile satellite frequencies are for mobile services, including satellite phones and search-and-rescue location devices.The MODA further noted that as communication technologies transcend, consumers are likely to benefit more directly. Satellite applications are becoming increasingly diverse and can significantly enhance emergency communication capabilities. Some newer smartphones come equipped with built-in emergency satellite communication functions, allowing users to access SOS services when they are outside of mobile network or Wi-Fi coverage. This technology provides critical support in mountainous areas or on remote islands, helping to safeguard public safety.The Ministry emphasized that releasing satellite frequencies will promote the deployment of satellite-based services, enhance digital resilience, and stimulate the growth of satellite-related industries. Looking ahead, the MODA will continue to monitor global technological and industry trends, conduct ongoing assessments of spectrum resources, and release frequencies as needed to ensure Taiwan's communication resilience and industrial competitiveness. This will enable the public to benefit from cutting-edge satellite applications and innovative services. <發布日期>2025-06-24T17:16:20 <更新日期>2025-07-22T17:20:09 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/ukvmfica.oof.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/2dbai1ip.nug.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/zzn20gr3.2ly.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/16458.html <標題>111 Government-Exclusive Shortcode Messages Further Upgraded to Include the Last Three Digits of Mobile Phone Numbers and the Agency Name for Identification <網頁內容>To prevent fraud groups from sending text messages in the name of the government, the Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) strengthened the anti-fraud identification mechanism of the "111 Government SMS Platform" in June. Government text messages will start with the last three digits of the recipient's mobile phone number and the name of the agency. Triple verification through the "source number," "last three digits of the mobile phone number," and "agency name" enables rapid verification of authenticity, increases public trust in government information, and strengthens anti-fraud security.MODA pointed out that fraud groups illegally use 2G base stations to block the base stations and send 111 SMS in the name of the government. To enhance public trust in digital government services, the Ministry has integrated services of the 111 government text message platform and implemented the "Three Steps for Identification of Government SMS" to improve identification for fraud prevention. Starting in June, when citizens receive government SMS messages, in addition to the number "111," the message will begin with the last three digits of the recipient's mobile phone number and the name of the relevant agencies as unique identifiers for citizen identification. The three lines of defense of the "111 government-exclusive code," "the last three digits of the user's mobile phone number," and the "agency name" work closely together to create a simple information transmission mechanism that effectively reduces the risk of people becoming victims of fraud.The Ministry explained that the 111 government SMS platform establishes a rigorous technical defense line. Government agencies must obtain authorization from the MODA before using the platform, which uses an IP whitelist for control. The entire data transmission process is encrypted to ensure the security and legitimacy of text messages. In addition, text message sending not only supports manual operation and API connection, but also allows text messages to be sent in batches or periodically according to business needs. After a text message is sent, the 111 government SMS platform will not retain the recipient's information to minimize the risk of personal data processing and ensure that information is transmitted safely and efficiently.The Ministry stated that more than 500 government agencies and state-owned enterprises have begun using the 111 government SMS platform, sending over 60 million text messages since its launch in 2023. The platform has been extensively utilized for sending water and electricity bills, doctor's appointment reminders, labor insurance notifications, and vaccination reminders, achieving remarkable results.

Starting in March this year, the Ministry has launched a dual certificate mechanism for government websites, incorporating certificates issued by domestic certificate authorities (CAs) in compliance with public trust root standards. The Ministry stated that this mechanism ensured government websites continue to function securely across all mainstream browsers, safeguarding uninterrupted browsing experiences for the public and upholding the stability and trustworthiness of public digital services.The MODA explained that according to the contents of Google's announcement, the modification of trust policy applies to certificates issued after August 1st this year; therefore, TLS certificates issued by the Government TLS Certificate Authority (GTLSCA) before the date will remain valid, and operational during their one-year validity period, as well as unaffected by the modification. In other words, the public can continue to assess government websites via Chrome with complete security without encountering browser warnings or display errors.The Ministry stated that it has gradually introduced domestic Certificate Authorities (CAs) to strengthen the continuity of overall website services and ensure international trust compatibility since March. This ensures that even if specific browser environments no longer trust existing certificates; websites can seamlessly switch to trusted alternatives. Meanwhile, the Ministry has also provided technical support and operational guidelines to help government agencies complete system configurations and compatibility testing, preventing service interruptions or public confusion caused by technical discrepancies. These efforts further strengthen the foundation of trust in the government's digital governance.The MODA emphasized that, in response to the ever-changing trust policies of global browsers, the government has adopted cautious and pragmatic attitudes, drafting comprehensive countermeasures ahead of the policy's effective date. This preventive measure demonstrates the government's firm commitment to uninterrupted digital public services. The Ministry will continue to refine its certificate policy and technical implementation, reinforcing the capabilities of government websites in information security, cross-platform interoperability, and global integration. The efforts of the Ministry ensure that the pu can easily access governmental digital services, regardless of their location, and have stable, convenient, and trustworthy digital experiences. <發布日期>2025-06-02T15:00:38 <更新日期>2025-06-13T15:02:01 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/16318.html <標題>Clarification Regarding Media Concerns on the Alleged Expansion of Administrative Investigation Powers in the Draft Amendments to the Cyber Security Management Act <網頁內容>The Transportation Committee of the Legislative Yuan passed draft amendments to specific articles of the Cyber Security Management Act on May 22; regarding several media concerns on suspicion of expanding administrative investigation powers by the Administrative Yuan, the Ministry of Digital Affairs hereby provides the following clarification:Article 25 of the draft amendments is for investigating major cybersecurity incidents involving specific non-government agencies; competent central authorities for the relevant sector are authorized to request the involved parties or related individuals to provide statements in person, submit forensic or investigative reports issued by an independent third-party institution, or permit designated personnel to conduct necessary inspections at the premises of the involved parties. Those who are subject to such investigations are strictly limited to parties and related individuals involved in major cybersecurity incidents and do not include general private enterprises or individuals. Such provisions already exist in other laws, such as the Fair Trade Act, the Commodity Inspection Act, and the Telecommunications Management Act, which authorize administrative agencies to conduct fact-finding procedures; therefore, it is a common administrative practice, not unique to the Cyber Security Management Act. These procedures are entirely distinct from criminal investigations, such as searches or seizures, and should not be confused.According to the Cyber Security Management Act, there are currently approximately 350 entities that fall under the category of “specific non-government agencies” regulated by the Act. The scope is restricted to critical infrastructure providers, state-owned enterprises, and nationwide foundations that receive government subsidies or grants. When such entities experience major cybersecurity incidents, they can pose significant impacts on governmental functions and societal operations, leading to severe consequences for national security and welfare. The administrative investigation proposed by the draft amendment helps identify the root causes and sources of relevant cyberattacks or intrusions, preventing the spread of cyberattacks and advancing cybersecurity prevention capabilities through public-private partnerships.Since the Cyber Security Management Act was enacted on June 6, 2018, and came into force in 2019, some of its provisions are now inadequate to address emerging cybersecurity threats and evolving governance needs. To strengthen the overall cyber security legal framework, fostering cross-governmental cooperation and regional joint defense, the Ministry sincerely calls on all sectors of society to support the passage of these critical legislative amendments. <發布日期>2025-05-23T09:42:11 <更新日期>2025-06-05T09:46:02 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/16298.html <標題>Ministry of Digital Affairs Imposes Legal Sanctions on Meta for Incomplete Advertisement Disclosure on Facebook Platform <網頁內容>Regarding the issues that the Facebook platform, operated by Meta.

Consequently, the Ministry has fined Meta 50,000 NTD for each case, as per Article 40, Paragraph 1, Subparagraph 4 of the same Act, and ordered Meta to make the necessary corrections within a specified period. The fine may be imposed consecutively if Meta fails to take corrective action within the given period.The Ministry emphasized that it had communicated with the platform operators multiple times when drafting the Fraud Prevention Act and its sub-regulations. The platform operators expressed their willingness to comply and have implemented measures to fulfill their legal obligations. However, the Ministry still found concrete violations of the Act; therefore, it has imposed penalties in accordance with the law.Upholding the principle of administration according to law, the Ministry will continue to urge platform operators to comply with regulations strictly and fulfill their responsibilities in information disclosure and source management. The Ministry will continue to work closely with relevant agencies to strengthen mechanisms against online fraud, thereby safeguarding the public's information security and legal rights. <發布日期>2025-05-22T10:42:47 <更新日期>2025-06-04T10:44:58 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/16204.html <標題>The Ministry of Digital Affairs Promote the Vertical Application of 5G Network, Kaohsiung City Demonstrates Accomplishments in Smart Mobility and Smart Ports <網頁內容>To accelerate the deployment of new 5G application services and achieve the objectives of smart city and digital economy development, Minister Yennun Huang led a team on May 7th to inspect the progress of 5G vertical applications in smart transportation and smart port sectors in Kaohsiung City and Kaohsiung Port.

This measure aims to prevent user-related data or information transmission through AI products with security risks, thereby mitigating potential threats to national cybersecurity.The Ministry of Digital Affairs stated that, according to the Executive Yuan's guidelines on using generative AI by government agencies and affiliated institutions, officials are prohibited from providing generative AI with confidential government information, personal data, or any information not authorized for public disclosure. Additionally, public officials cannot ask generative AI questions about classified business matters or personal information. Since DeepSeek AI is a Chinese product, rising concerns exist over cross-border data transmission and potential information leaks. Therefore, Deepseek is classified as a product that poses risks to national cybersecurity. Taiwan has enforced restrictions on the use of cybersecurity-threatening products since Executive Yuan's 2019 announcement of the "Principles on Restricting the Use of Products That Endanger National Cyber Security" to prevent uncontrolled exposure of internal government information that could lead to security threats. These regulations mandate that central and local government agencies, public schools, state-owned enterprises, administrative corporations, and self-operated or outsourced public venues restrict the use of such products that may threaten national security. Furthermore, the competent central authorities overseeing specific industries must ensure that critical infrastructure providers, as defined under the Cyber Security Management Act and government-funded foundations, adhere to these restrictions.The Ministry of Digital Affairs also emphasized that employees should not use government computers and network equipment for non-work-related activities during office hours. Given the critical importance of government cybersecurity, the Ministry will continue to monitor technological developments and modify security policies accordingly to safeguard national cybersecurity. <發布日期>2025-01-31T16:12:21 <更新日期>2025-02-10T16:14:22 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/15082.html <標題>Taiwan-Matsu Subsea Cable Breaks Again and the Ministry of Digital Affairs Activates Backup Plans <網頁內容>Early on January 22, the Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) received a report that the Taiwan-Matsu No. 2 subsea cable had likely broken due to aging wires. Since the Taiwan-Matsu No. 3 cable had already been reported as wholly damaged earlier, both main subsea communication lines between Taiwan and Matsu were broken. To keep communication running, the Ministry immediately instructed Chunghwa Telecom to activate the microwave transmission backup system, ensuring that phone and internet services between Taiwan and Matsu remain functional. Meanwhile, Chunghwa Telecom has coordinated subsea cable ships to restore the Taiwan-Matsu No. 2 and No.3 subsea cables.The National Communications and Cyber Security Center (NCCSC) confirmed the break was offshore in New Taipei City. After the incident, Chunghwa Telecom turned on the microwave backup system, ensuring that phone calls and internet services remained unaffected. If the sea surface condition allows, the repairs on the subsea cables will be completed as early as February.Upon receiving the breakdown report, the Ministry asked Chunghwa Telecom to activate the backup measures according to its Critical Infrastructure (CI) safety management plan. The Ministry has also ensured that critical services—such as those in government offices, banks, and hospitals—are given priority for network access. During the Lunar New Year holiday, Matsu residents can still withdraw cash from ATMs and make credit card and online transactions without interruption.Additionally, the Ministry of Digital Affairs explained that nine satellite stations were built in Matsu under a communications resilience establishment project initiated by the Ministry. These stations are now being activated as an extra layer of backup for microwave communication, ensuring that the government and emergency services can continue to communicate securely even if other backup systems fail. Due to multiple past incidents, the Executive Yuan has officially approved the classification of Taiwan-Matsu subsea cables as critical infrastructure, which means that the operators of CI must enforce stronger protection measures and backup systems and review them regularly. According to the “Backup for Backups” strategy, the government requires the CI operators to improve communication stability for offshore islands like Matsu, as well as to strengthen their emergency communication networks and introduce multiple alternative communication methods to prevent future disruptions.The Ministry has subsidized Chunghwa Telecom to expand the microwave transmission capacity as the major backup for subsea cables. Meanwhile, MODA also subsidized the company to construct the Taiwan-Matsu No. 4 subsea cable, which will be completed in June 2026. This new cable will add an extra communication route, reducing the risk of significant disruptions in the future and improving overall internet reliability for Matsu residents. <發布日期>2025-01-22T16:10:33 <更新日期>2025-02-10T16:12:05 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/15074.html <標題>Slashing the Budget of Ministry of Digital Affairs Will Seriously Impact Taiwan’s Digital Resilience and Development <網頁內容>Deputy Minister Yi-Jing Lin expressed serious concerns on January 20 during an Executive Yuan press conference, urging the Legislative Yuan to carefully review the central government’s 2025 budget. Deputy Minister Lin highlighted that the Ministry of Digital Affairs is crucial in cybersecurity resilience, digital industry development, and fraud prevention. However, the opposition party has recently proposed significant budget cuts to the Ministry of Digital Affairs, a move that could have far-reaching consequences for Taiwan’s digital resilience and future development.Given its geopolitical position, Deputy Minister Lin explained that Taiwan faces an average of 2.4 million foreign cyberattacks daily. MODA provides round-the-clock cybersecurity monitoring and protection for government agencies, hospitals, banks, transportation, and critical infrastructure such as petrol, water, and electricity. A reduction in budget would directly weaken Taiwan’s ability to safeguard its critical infrastructure, creating vulnerabilities that external threats could exploit.In addition to cybersecurity, the Ministry has established 773 non-geostationary satellite network reception sites at key military, police, and firefighting locations across Taiwan to ensure uninterrupted external communications during natural disasters or emergencies. Last year, the Ministry also completed the development of Taiwan’s first high-altitude communication balloon, providing crucial internal network support in times of crisis. Reducing the budget would restrict Taiwan’s ability to maintain and expand these critical emergency communication networks, potentially putting public safety at risk during disasters.The rapid advancement of AI presents both opportunities and challenges for Taiwan in the development of digital industries. MODA has been actively working to support AI development through initiatives focused on computing power, data, talent, and funding. Taiwan may struggle to support AI startups and innovative enterprises without sufficient resources, leading to a missed opportunity in a globally competitive field.

The service aims to develop services closely related to the daily needs of the public and enrich various thematic service categories through extended service processes. The nine significant themes include Convenient Living, Social Assistance, Family Care, Social Welfare, Education and Learning, Tax Services, Women and Children Care, Consumer Finance, and Career Development. In addition to horizontal expansion to central agencies and county/city governments, it will also take root in extending online services, improving application efficiency, and better meeting the daily needs of the public, contributing to creating a new digital society.The MODA pointed out that the MyData platform officially launched in April 2021 and has provided a cumulative total of 137 data downloads, 122 in-person services, as well as 740 online services as of August 31, 2024, achieving over 2.25 million data downloads and online applications. Taking the Convenient Living category as an example, the Bureau of Consular Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs launched the Conditional Online Passport Renewal/Replacement measure. If individuals meet certain conditions—such as holding a passport with a household registration in Taiwan, having an expired passport that has not been lost in the past ten years, residing in Taiwan, and not changing personal data during renewal—they can use the MyData platform to provide the necessary documents for passport renewal. Once the passport is issued, they can collect it in person at the Bureau of Consular Affairs or its regional offices in central, southern, and eastern Taiwan, thus facilitating a more straightforward renewal process.The MODA further explained that municipal governments are also fully committed to expanding application services online. The Nantou County Government, for example, has recently increased its integration with the MyData platform, focusing on Women and Children Care and Tax Services. As of August 30, 21 new online services have been added, including Early Intervention Therapy Subsidy for Children with Developmental Delays. Through the MyData platform, with individual consent, people can access personalized data and complete the application process online, overcoming the difficulties of cross-agency data retrieval and significantly improving application efficiency.The MODA stated that in the future, it will continue to work closely with central agencies and municipal governments to develop more thematic public services and optimize the data autonomy mechanism. With people and society as the core, digital technology will be closer to our daily needs.Convenient life starts with MyData.

It is one of the effective means to block the spread of criminal information and harmful content quickly. MODA continues to actively coordinate with the National Communications Commission (NCC) to get cable TV and other internet access service providers (IASPs) involved in the DNS RPZ mechanism and will promptly invite relevant government agencies and the Taiwan Network Information Center (TWNIC) to discuss measures to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the DNS RPZ.MODA states that on April 10 and April 26, 2024, the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) requested IASPs to immediately enforce the cessation of domain resolution for the Creative Private Room forum following the Child and Youth Sexual Exploitation Prevention Act, the Sexual Assault Crime Prevention Act, and the Administrative Execution Act, After the MOHW’s request, TWNIC assisted by coordinating with IASPs participating in the DNS RPZ self-regulation mechanism to stop resolving the domain names associated with the website.The DNS RPZ mechanism works through participating IASPs to block their usersfrom connecting to these foreign websites. However, removing these illegal foreign websites' databases or website content requires cross-border judicial assistance. MODA will actively provide information on relevant internet connections to judicial and investigative agencies.For IASPs that have not yet joined the DNS RPZ mechanism, MODA has coordinated with the MOHW to ensure they are informed to handle and block domain resolutions in accordance with the law. Meanwhile, MODA continues to coordinate with the NCC to request cable TV and other IASPs join this mechanism.Cybercrime is characterized by its cross-border nature, anonymity, and rapid dissemination. Although DNS RPZ cannot wholly block specific malicious websites, it remains an effective tool for preventing the rapid spread of harmful content. Therefore, maintaining the DNS RPZ’s rapid website blocking mechanism has its value. Government agencies must act per the law. MODA will continue to cooperate with relevant ministries to continuously improve technologies and measures for blocking and removing internet criminal information and harmful content. <發布日期>2024-07-20T15:32:38 <更新日期>2024-07-30T15:35:00 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/13148.html <標題>Ministry of Digital Affairs Uses AI Technology to Prevent AI Fraud and EnhanceTaiwan’s Digital Security Capabilities <網頁內容>Deputy Minister Yi-Jing Lin of the Ministry of Digital Affairs (the MODA) stated that in response to the new types of fraud and cybersecurity challenges brought by AI technology, the MODA employs advanced technological approaches to combat AI-driven fraud. This includes rapidly identifying fraudulent messages, predicting and preventing potential fraudulent activities, and curbing the spread of AI-based online fraud. MODA enhances the country’s digital security capabilities through cybersecurity technology research and defense drills.The National Institute of Cyber Security (NICS) under MODA points out that generative AI has automated the generation of fraudulent texts. Robot accounts widely disseminate fraudulent advertisements, leaving comments and liking posts, creating a false impression of popular support for the articles. These robot accounts also post in social groups and communities, expanding their reach and influence. These accounts frequently change user information, personal profiles, photos, and activity patterns to disguise their true identities.to evade detection by relevant authorities,Vice President Ying-Dar Lin of NICS stated we need to use AI to combat AI. According to AI detection results, approximately 16,000 fan page accounts have posted fraudulent advertisements. By randomly sampling 1,000 of these pages, it is found that they share similar features with approximately 100,000 other pages that still need to disseminate fraudulent ads. This fact suggests that behind the 16,000 pages involved in fraud, there could be about 1.6 million accounts ready to be deployed; terming them a million robot army is quite accurate. They post 5,000 to 10,000 fraudulent ads daily that only last 1-2 days, creating an illusion of diversity and popularity among audiences and exploiting echo chambers for free dissemination.Regarding addressing the source of AI fraud, Vice President Lin further explains that end-point cleaning strategies can only remove fraudulent ads, but they need to be fast and automated enough to handle thousands of ads daily. It is not feasible to manage 1.6 million robot accounts. The source-combating strategy requires ad agencies to implement a second layer of verification for fan page accounts when they post ads, not just platform operators verifying ad agencies in the first layer. The recently passedanti-fraud law has provided legal tools for the above strategies.Manager Yu-Hsien Chiang of the Digital Information Division at NICS added that MODA had commissioned the institute to develop anti-fraud technologies, including fraud keyword extraction, data mining, and message tracing, by integrating extensive data analysis, artificial intelligence, and machine learning technologies to effectively assist relevant units in quickly identifying and analyzing potential fraud threats. While AI technology can also create deceptive texts, videos, and images, it can provide robust detection and filtering tools to identify and remove robot accounts. Combating evolving fraud methods requires multi-faceted efforts involving technology, regulations, and international cooperation.MODA stated that in addition to addressing current fraud concerns, it is committed to enhancing Taiwan’s overall digital environment, security, and resilience. MODA has mandated the NISC to regularly conduct network offensive and defensive drills for government systems to address common vulnerabilities identified during these exercises, such as authentication and verification mechanism failures, injection attacks, ineffective access controls, insecure configuration settings, and encryption mechanism failures. This equips systems with emergency response, recovery, and coordination control capabilities when cybersecurity incidents occur.The cybersecurity of critical infrastructure and industries is also a key focus for MODA. The Shalun Information Security Service Base of the Administration for Digital Industries showcases cybersecurity scenarios for smart IoT, critical infrastructure, and smart manufacturing. The smart IoT scenario demonstrates access control systems that have passed security testing to prevent hackers from bypassing access controls using replayed codes. The critical infrastructure scenario simulates hackers conducting man-in-the-middle attacks and showcases solutions for accessing cybersecurity in industrial control environments. The smart manufacturing scenario presents a whitelist-based security solution to prevent the use of portable devices carrying malicious software that could compromise production lines. These efforts aim to apply real-world cybersecurity attack and defense scenarios to raise industry awareness, help companies optimize products and services, and enhance Taiwan’s cybersecurity capabilities. <發布日期>2024-07-19T14:46:22 <更新日期>2024-07-30T14:50:09 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/nuuh2q5s.uqa.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/13098.html <標題>Digital Government Program 2.0: Ministry of Digital Affairs Collaborates with Government Agencies to Drive Digital Innovation in Public Governance <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (the MODA) announced that the Digital Government Program 2.0 of Taiwan (2021-2025) has achieved significant results.

These data have been utilized in various innovative applications, such as AI-powered medication consultation chatbots using pharmaceutical data, locating lost pets with pet-related data, and predicting marine debris hotspots using meteorological data.MODA pointed out that the MyData platform has integrated 83 agencies, offering 136 personal data services. The platform has introduced innovative services such as mobile number identity login authentication and online applications for combining multiple data records, significantly improving application convenience. For example, individuals with disabilities can obtain multiple necessary documents to apply for a special parking permit through the platform. Similarly, citizens can apply for a Police Criminal Record Certificate and pay online via the MyData platform, bypassing in-person procedures.MODA stated that in terms of technological innovation services, the government has introduced several measures to benefit the public, such as mobile tax filing by the Ministry of Finance, a one-stop vehicle recycling service by the Ministry of Environment, and a paperless tax bill service for real estate transfer registration by the Ministry of the Interior. The cross-agency data transmission platform, T-Road, has connected 50 agencies with over 130 datasets, processing more than 1.5 million monthly transmissions, significantly enhancing government service efficiency. Meanwhile, the government backbone network blocks an average of 1.3 billion malicious attacks monthly, ensuring network security.MODA has also assisted local governments in completing 19 digital transformation projects, such as Tainan City’s extensive vehicle cross-agency permit application system and Chiayi County’s high-risk alert care system for solitary older people. Additionally, the MODA has supported the Ministry of Justice in planning the intelligent prison project and assisted the Ministry of the Interior in improving the efficiency of the automated immigration clearance system at Taoyuan International Airport.MODA emphasized that in international rankings, Taiwan was ranked 9th globally in the 2023 IMD World Digital Competitiveness survey, improving by two places from the previous year, with five indicators ranking first globally. Looking ahead, the MODA will collaborate with various agencies to actively apply AI in digital government services, persistently driving digital innovation to enhance the quality of life for citizens and elevate Taiwan’s position in global digital competitiveness. <發布日期>2024-07-15T10:26:10 <更新日期>2024-07-22T10:28:59 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/13090.html <標題>2024 Presidential Hackathon International Track: Calling on Global Hackers to Collaborate on Net-Zero Solutions <網頁內容>Ministry of Digital Affairs held a press conference today (July 11) on the call for submissions for the Presidential Hackathon International Track, announcing competition details and encouraging hackers around the world to participate.

As of the end of June this year, both Taiwan's main island and offshore islands such as Kinmen, Matsu, Penghu, and Orchid Island can receive signals from the Medium-Earth Orbit satellite system SES and the Low-Earth Orbit satellite system OneWeb adopted by TTC. These satellite systems enable instant messaging, news video streaming, and other internet application services through satellite equipment, achieving the initial goal of strengthening Taiwan's communication resilience through diverse and heterogeneous response networks.MODA explained that conventional landline phones, mobile phones, and internet services may become unavailable during major natural disasters and other emergencies. The MODA initiated a two-year non-geostationary satellite verification project to enhance the resilience of Taiwan's command system communication networks, which started last year. Through Proof of Concept (PoC) testing, the project assessed the feasibility of low and middle-orbit satellite communication networks as emergency backup networks when existing communication systems are disrupted. The command system or areas without heterogeneous backup communications, such as the Central Disaster Prevention and Response Council, Taiping Island, Matsu, and Orchid Island, will prioritize using relevant satellite equipment at the critical nodes.During the 2024 Hualien earthquake, the MODA dispatched emergency network mobile units and low-orbit satellite equipment to assist rescue units and provide emergency communication for victims, utilizing SES middle orbit satellite and OneWeb low orbit satellite services. Following the mission, TTC and its collaborating partner Chunghwa Telecom conducted several months of nationwide network speed tests to assess OneWeb signal coverage. All Taiwan Island and offshore islands (excluding the Dongsha and Nansha area) can use OneWeb low orbit satellite services smoothly, supporting basicinternet applications such as instant messaging, voice and video calls, and watching standard quality videos. The network performance in northern Taiwan is solid, with an average download speed of up to 90Mbps and an upload speed of 14Mbps, suitable for file transfers and high-definition video streaming.MODA stated that with the addition of OneWeb's satellite ground stations in Thailand becoming operational in the second half of the year, the internet speeds across Taiwan and offshore islands will significantly improve, ensuring more stable satellite communications services. The MODA will continue to oversee TTC's 773 non-geostationary satellite stations by the end of the year, providing a stable and secure emergency communication system for the government's command system in emergencies. <發布日期>2024-07-08T17:53:14 <更新日期>2024-07-11T17:59:38 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/k4sz0fex.5u4.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/bdy3gxus.fcx.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/13038.html <標題>Ministry of Digital Affairs Collaborates with Meta to Discuss Anti-Fraud Measures, Actively Preventing Online Frauds <網頁內容>Minister of Digital Affairs Yennun Huang invited Meta to discuss anti-fraud measures on July 4th.

The Ministry of Digital Affairs is leveraging advanced technology to improve fraud detection and prevention efficiency and effectiveness. This approach aims to quickly and comprehensively counteract fraud through integrated efforts. Commissioned by the Ministry of Digital Affairs(MODA), the National Institute of Cyber Security(NICS) has developed a series of anti-fraud technologies, including 'fraud keyword extraction, data mining, and information tracing.' These tools help swift identification of fraudulent messages and enable continuous monitoring to predict and prevent potential fraud more effectively and accurately. For instance, the NICS is currently developing AI techniques to recognize names and accounts, which has achieved an accuracy rate of over 93%. Relevant techniques can help the government promptly initiate anti-fraud actions.MODA points out that fraud has become a significant threat in a highly digitized and networked society globally. Aside from causing severe impacts on the security of people's properties, fraud has further challenged societal trust and stability. Traditional prevention methods are insufficient to fight against ever-evolving fraud tactics. The rapid advancement of generative AI has led to sophisticated text, video, and deepfakes, making it increasingly difficult for humans to distinguish between real and fake.Under the guidance of the Administration for Digital Industries and following policies of the Ministry of Digital Affairs, the NICS has developed a comprehensive anti-fraud standard operating procedure encompassing 'identification alert, verification, and validation, cleanup, and blocking, as well as investigation and evidence collection.' This initiative integrates cutting-edge technologies such as big data analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to create an efficient, intelligent, and integrated cross-sectoral anti-fraud collaboration and information exchange platform.NICS analyzed fraud cases in Taiwan in the past two decades, alongside research from the FBI, Australia's National Anti-Scam Centre (NASC), and the UK Home Office. NICS has identified nine major types of fraud: romance scams, financial investment scams, product and service scams, scams of unexpected wealth, extortion and blackmail, identity impersonation, job scams, money mule schemes, and charity donation scams. The most prevalent frauds are hybrid scams involving financial investments, identity impersonations, and romance. The NICS notifies the public to be particularly cautious of emerging scams such as fraudulent romance consultations, confusing official website URLs, fake courses, event registration scams to steal personal information, and impersonating charity organizations.MODA emphasized that effectively combating fraud requires collaborative verification efforts across departments and active participation from platform operators to immediately remove rapidly generated fraudulent information. Therefore, strengthening the cross-departmental joint defense mechanism will be a critical strategy for the MODA and relevant government agencies in combating fraud. MODA will continue to collaborate with the private sector and fully leverage the technological development capabilities of the NICS and other affiliated organizations. Through approaches like advancing regulatory governance, techniques development, and awareness enhancement, the MODA aims to proactively strike at the roots of fraud, preventing it from arising and protecting citizens' rights, ultimately providing a safer, more secure, and trustworthy digital environment for the public. <發布日期>2024-06-19T17:07:15 <更新日期>2024-06-21T17:10:35 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/uzbrdjwd.kxa.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/4fhrawpd.mg3.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/12930.html <標題>The Budget Performance of Digital Infrastructure Projects of the Ministry of Digital Affairs have all Reached the Target of May with 98% <網頁內容>The media released news on June 11th, pointing out that the Ministry of Digital Affairs converted the budget for digital infrastructure as part of public infrastructure, with a total of 280 million NTD, but the performance could be better. The Ministry clarified that the overall implementation rate of the project reached 98% by the end of May, and the progress is in line with expectations.The Ministry of Digital Affairs pointed out that the "Project for Establishing Basic Platform to Strengthening Ministerial Data Transmission and Distribution" of the Ministry is jointly implemented by the Ministry of Digital Affairs, the Ministry of Interior, and other 34 agencies; the budget for this year is 270 million NTD. The Ministry of Digital Affairs checks the implementation progress with relevant agencies weekly and arranges technical experts to assist; up until May, the total budget performance of the project is 98%, with each task item meeting the progress.As for the accusation on the news that the systems launched by the Ministry of Digital Affairs, from the online registration platform for triple stimulus vouchers to the online vaccination appointment platform, always crashed after their initial launch, the Ministry clarified that this is not true. The online registration platform for triple stimulus vouchers was launched in May 2020, the online vaccination appointment platform was launched in July 2021, while the Ministry of Digital Affairs was established in August 2023. Therefore, the Ministry hasn't participated in planning and constructing the systems mentioned above. Since its establishment, the Ministry has been actively assisting Ministries in strengthening the operation stability of their online systems. For example, the Ministry participated in the planning and construction of the registration website for Executive Yuan's "Universal Cash for All," as well as providing emergency help to the operation of the E-Invoice system of the Ministry of Finance. Take the "Universal Cash for All" project as an example; after the system went online, the operation was stable, with reports indicating that citizens could complete registration in as fast as 70 seconds without any crashes.In terms of Combating fraud measures, the Ministry of Digital Affairs is adopting measures to "Prevent Frauds from the source." with measures from applying digital tools to block fraud at the source to minimize contact, developing proactive scanning tools with automated technology to help report high-risk fraudulent advertisements on online platforms. Other measures include promoting the establishment of a rapid takedown mechanism for online platforms, assisting law enforcement by establishing contact channels with Meta and Google for immediate takedowns and coordinating with LINE to actively block the import of ads from external sites. Moreover, the Ministry has been pushing for amendments to the Electronic Signature Act to affirm the effect of electronic and digital signatures and guiding online advertising platform operators to enhance identity verification through electronic signatures, in line with the Executive Yuan's legislative efforts to combat fraud by referencing international legislative examples to strengthen the anti-fraud accountability of online operators. The Ministry of Digital Affairs" is expected to release the "Anti-Fraud Reporting and Inquiry Platform" in August 2024, providing the public with immediate access to report or inquire about suspicious online fraud information. Meanwhile, the system will use manual, programming, and AI methods to filter suspicious information, which will then be forwarded to the relevant government or private entities for immediate handling, with the handling progress updated on the inquiry website.The Ministry of Digital Affairs stated that under Minister Yen-Nun Huang's leadership, the future policies will concentrate on "Combating Fraud," "Enhancing Digital Resilience," and "Developing the Digital Economy," ensuring both security and advancement while promoting nationwide digital transformation. <發布日期>2024-06-11T16:11:35 <更新日期>2024-06-13T16:16:11 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/12878.html <標題>Minister Huang Unveil the three arrows for Digital Development: Anti-Fraud, Digital Resilience, and Digital Economy <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs held a media briefing on May 28th, during which Minister Yen-Nun Huang unveiled the three arrows for Digital Development. Minister Huang stated that the ministry will concentrate on "Combating Fraud," "Enhancing Digital Resilience," and "Developing the Digital Economy," ensuring both security and advancement while promoting nationwide digital transformation.Minister Huang stated that scams are the primary concern for the public. Therefore, the first arrow is to reduce the Ministry of Digital Affairs's overseas travel budget and increase the development and implementation budget to fight against scams and frauds. The ministry plans to establish an "Anti-Fraud Reporting and Inquiry Platform of the Ministry of Digital Affairs," applying AI to combat misinformation generated by AI, enhancing the public's awareness and alerting of fraudulent messages. The second arrow targets strengthening the resilience and cybersecurity of Taiwan's communications network and preventing large-scale communication disruptions caused by cyberattacks or natural disasters—the last arrow pivots into steering digital economy development. The ministry will intensify support and investment in the digital sector, particularly in AI, software, and cybersecurity, expecting to list them as Taiwan's new trillion-dollar industries by 2026.Minister Huang highlighted the ministry's primary responsibilities, including promoting the information security of nationwide communications, fostering the development of digital industries such as the internet and communications industries, coordinating digital governance and infrastructure, bolstering digital economic growth, and accelerating national digital transformation. The core philosophy is to use digital tools to enhance "national digital resilience," which ensures speedy recovery and adaptive response to adverse impacts, and learning from these experiences strengthens the nation's digital framework. By addressing societal inclusion, industrial development, and emergency response, the ministry aims to connect "citizens" and "technology," enhance "industry" and "security," and facilitate smooth digital transformation for all.Minister Huang pointed out that the digital economy requires a secure and rapid high-speed network system. Based on the mission statement, the ministry must coordinate with relevant ministries to design, construct, develop, and manage this digital economic highway. This network must feature high security and cyber resilience, providing the necessary techniques and tools for government digital transformation while allowing industries to foster new digital economic opportunities.Further explaining, Minister Huang said this digital economic highway integrates 4G, 5G, 6G, satellite, fiber optic, and microwave communication technologies to ensure network resilience and safety and foster emerging digital economy industries. The ministry will establish legal regulations and install network monitoring and defense systems to prevent criminal misuse, such as fraud, cyberattacks, spreading misinformation, and stealing sensitive personal data.Drawing an analogy, Minister Huang compared the role of the Ministry of Digital Affairs to that of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, which plans and maintains the nation's transportation systems. The Ministry of Transportation and Communication plans routes, interchanges, and stations to meet industrial and public needs and makes traffic regulations to manage safety, the Ministry of Digital Affairs will enhance digital infrastructure and support legal enforcement efforts. However, maintaining and completing the infrastructure and relevant services requires cooperation between different ministries.To accelerate governmental digital transformation, Minister Huang announced initiatives to train civil servants in AI applications, introduce AI and digital signature tools, and establish the T-Road data security channel to promote a paperless environment, thereby increasing administrative efficiency. <發布日期>2024-05-28T14:02:26 <更新日期>2024-06-03T14:06:03 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/vftkkx0g.k52.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/ftqwbkht.0rm.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/12814.html <標題>Ministry of Digital Affairs joins the Global CAPE to facilitate cross-border cooperation in the enforcement of Data Protection and Privacy Laws with international partners <網頁內容>To enhance the protection of personal data, the Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) applied to join the Global Cooperation Arrangement for Privacy Enforcement (Global CAPE) at the end of 2023. In March, 2024, notice of the verification and approval of the application was received from the administrator of the Global CAPE—The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan. In the future, enhanced cross-border cooperation in the enforcement of Data Protection and Privacy Laws with international partners can be expected as a result of this agreement, enhancing the protection of Taiwanese people's personal data.The Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) Forum endeavors to promote trusted data flows and eliminate unnecessary barriers in digital trade. As the global trend of digitalization continues to accelerate, demand for cross-border data transmission has increased sharply. Personal data infringement incidents often involve overseas factors, requiring mutual assistance and cooperation between jurisdictions to effectively combat illegal activities and prevent the worsening of infringement. For this reason, the Global CBPR Forum established the Global CAPE in October, 2023 and invited PEAs not limited to those of Forum members, to facilitate cooperation on enforcement jurisdiction and policies among each Participant.In addition to Chinese Taipei, several other jurisdictions, including the United States, Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom, South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Mexico, Dubai International Financial Center, and Bermuda, have also joined Global CAPE. This opens up opportunities for Taiwan's PEAs to collaborate with international partners on cross-border enforcement related to privacy complaints, data protection, data sharing, and professional exchanges. Such collaboration will enhance the protection of information privacy and align with international legal standards, fostering cross-border digital trade and boosting Taiwan's digital economy. <發布日期>2024-05-18T14:09:17 <更新日期>2024-05-19T14:13:35 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/12774.html <標題>Minister of Digital Affairs Audrey Tang Attended the Copenhagen Democracy Summit via Video Conference, Sharing Taiwan's Experience in Democratic Deliberation as a Response to the Challenges Posed by the Development of Generative AI. <網頁內容>The Copenhagen Democracy Summit 2024 took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, on May 14th and 15th, featuring a hybrid format of online and on-site meetings. Minister Tang was invited to participate alongside Leopoldo López, a Venezuelan freedom advocate, and Suzanne Lynch, author of Politico's "Global Playbook," engaging in discussions on the theme of "Restoring our Digital Freedom."During the summit, Minister Tang noted the increased spread of synthesized polarized opinions online with the rise of generative AI technology. Therefore, she advocated for the proactive approach of "pre-bunking," addressing misinformation before it spreads, aiming to foster mutual trust rather than merely correcting errors. Research shows that effective pre-bunking helps expose manipulative tactics, empowering individuals to build strong defenses against them.Minister Tang also highlighted the pivotal role played by Taiwan's civic collaboration platform, "Cofacts". This platform analyzes and evaluates contentious information, assisting the public in making informed judgments about content authenticity with the support of an AI real-time clarification system deployed by the g0v community.Furthermore, Minister Tang emphasized the commitment of the Ministry of Digital Affairs to promote trustworthy AI and digital trust environments through collaboration between the public and private sectors. Initiatives include establishing the Artificial Intelligence Evaluation Center (AIEC), issuing AI evaluation guidelines, evaluating Large Language Models (LLMs), and engaging in democratic deliberation processes to explore the societal impact of generative AI development and effective measures to uphold information integrity at individual, community, and national levels.Minister Tang highlighted the Ministry's organization of two "AI Future Democratization" deliberative workshops last year (2023) to align AI development with societal needs. In March of this year, the Ministry collaborated with National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University and the Deliberative Democracy Lab at Stanford University to conduct an online citizen deliberation conference on "Using AI to Promote Information Integrity." Over 400 Taiwanese citizens participated through stratified random sampling, achieving consensus on enhancing AI regulatory mechanisms and strengthening the identification and evaluation mechanisms of AI-generated content on major platforms, which were subsequently adopted as Articles 30 to 32 of the draft "Prevention of Fraudulent Crime Act."The Copenhagen Democracy Summit is organized by the Alliance of Democracies Foundation, founded by former Danish Prime Minister and NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen in 2017. The summit aims to strengthen the connection among democratic countries worldwide and promote the values of freedom and democratization.This year's Copenhagen Democracy Summit featured prerecorded speeches by President Tsai Ing-wen and Vice President Lai Ching-te of Taiwan. Other attendees included Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, President of the European Parliament Charles Michel, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Microsoft's Vice President of European Government Affairs Nanna-Louise Linde, as well as political figures, activists, think tanks, and tech leaders from Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Hong Kong, Tanzania, India, and other countries. <發布日期>2024-05-15T14:03:24 <更新日期>2024-05-17T14:12:50 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/qg2sja3c.llw.png,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/rfk0eg30.gj5.png,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/c1cq3hyo.nus.png <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/12736.html <標題>The Ministry of Digital Affairs Calls for Citizens to Team up and Collaborate with Public Sector to Elevate Digital Service <網頁內容>To encourage citizens to participate in public affairs via digital ways, The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) launched the recruitment of "2024 Civic Tech Experimental Field" participatory teams, inviting civic tech communities to team up and come up with solutions for local problems by ways of public engagement and public-private collaborations. The moda will match the selected teams with Taoyuan City Government or Taitung County Government to develop digital services or tools cooperatively. The project adopted the "Tutored by Experienced" mechanism this year and raised the awarded grant amount to NT$610,000 to cultivate a new generation of digital citizens and talents. The moda earnestly welcomes citizens to participate, facilitating the power of digital technology to come up with solutions for public issues in public sectors and enhancing the quality of digital services.The moda explained that addressing social issues through technology has become the global developmental trend for digital innovation. The moda initiated "Civic Tech Experimental Field" in 2023, which successfully facilitated demonstrations of "Digital Process Optimization for Public Childcare Applications" and "Digital Tools for Household Visits" at Taichung City government and Tainan City government with civic tech teams. Based on last year's program's success, this year's program will continue encouraging local governments to propose challenges and seek solutions through public participation, promoting public-private collaboration, and enhancing digital services.The moda pointed out that this year's project introduces a "mentorship system" that aims to encourage youth involvement in public affairs and strengthen their digital skills. Experts and scholars with expertise in information technology, design, or civic tech will guide high school and university interns as they collaborate with local governments on projects. The outcomes will be published on the moda's public code platform (https://code.gov.tw/) to facilitate inter-agency application and public engagement, thereby nurturing and expanding the civic tech ecosystem and bolstering citizens' digital capabilities.Applications for this initiative are open until noon on May 28, and selection results will be announced in early June. For more information regarding the application methods, please visit the announcement page (https://moda.gov.tw/press/bulletin/12678) or contact the project team by email (modact.tca@gmail.com).

MyData Online Application Service No Longer Requires Physical IC Card, Diverse Identity Verification Is Now More Convenient. <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) stated that the "MyData Platform" provides convenient and diverse online personalized data downloading and service application options. It offers ten types of identity verification methods, with the verification level determined by the data-providing agency according to the data sensitivity. Individuals can choose the most convenient method based on the verification level that best fits their needs. Take the recently popular "Certificate of Entry and Exit Date" as an example; individuals can verify their identity using physical cards such as chip financial cards or health insurance cards on the MyData platform. Alternatively, those without physical cards at hand can opt for verification using mobile citizen digital certificates or "mobile phone number + health insurance card number," among other methods for identity verification. The multiple verification method lets them quickly and conveniently obtain entry- and exit-related information from the National Immigration Agency of the Ministry of the Interior. In the past two weeks, there have been over 160,000 applications, with an accumulated number exceeding 170,000.The moda highlighted the importance of reducing people's time and effort spent traveling to government departments and applying for personal certificates or services in person. To address this, MyData Platform, the core principle of "people's voluntary consent and secure data access, provides safe, convenient, and trustworthy online services. The MyData platform was officially launched on April 15, 2021. It has integrated with 80 central and local government agencies, financial institutions, and other organizations, offering over 900 data downloads and service applications with a cumulative usage exceeding 1.47 million times. Through the MyData platform, people can access personalized data from various government agencies without the need to visit in person. Service applications become more convenient by undergoing online identity verification and providing personal consent. The moda continues to improve the diversity and convenience of MyData identity verification while strengthening the mechanism for informed consent. During user operations, individuals are notified via SMS or email, and they can also check their usage records for the past two years on the MyData platform.The moda provides examples to illustrate how government agencies promote digital convenience services by continuously integrating various application services with the MyData platform. This eliminates the need for people to travel back and forth and collect required documents, as well as reduces time spent on applications and paper consumption. For instance, services like "Social Housing Rental Application" and "Tax Convenience Services" require various certificates such as household registration,low-income and middle-low-income households, and disability identification or (and) certification. Through the MyData platform, individuals can receive all the necessary documents after verifying their identity and obtaining consent. They no longer need to apply for and collect data from multiple sources, reducing the time and cost of application for the public.The moda emphasizes its commitment to continuously deepening the mechanism for independent data application. It will collaborate with central and local governments to develop various theme-based convenience services across agencies, departments, and regions. This effort aims to provide the public with a safer and more convenient smart lifestyle. <發布日期>2024-05-08T17:19:48 <更新日期>2024-05-13T17:07:59 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/24w0lm33.hnd.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/1sntnnu5.bwk.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/12648.html <標題>The Ministry of Digital Affairs Is Committed to Promoting Trustworthy AI by Organizing Deliberative Democratic Activities and Inviting International AI Companies for Opinion Exchange <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) stated that with the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), the moda continues to establish a trustworthy AI development environment that balances technological innovation and risk governance. The moda is promoting various AI policies and initiatives, including establishing an AI assessment center, issuing AI assessment guidelines, and becoming a partner of the international non-governmental organization(NGO) "Collective Intelligence Project (CIP)." This year, the moda has further organized the "Deliberative Democracy Activities on Applying AI to Promote Information Integrity" and invited leading international AI vendors for opinions exchanges. Companies such as Meta, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI, among others, all agree that AI must have important characteristics such as trustworthiness, accuracy, and security. The moda will continue to engage in dialogues with various sectors, striving to promote trustworthy AI and collaborating to create AI application services that meet the needs of society.The moda stated that to ensure that AI applications align with the interests of the public, it officially became a partner of the international NGO "Collective Intelligence Project" in May last year. The moda participated in alignment conferences to assist our country in gathering consensus among the public on the demand and risks of artificial intelligence in the global public domain, collectively addressing the "AI alignment problem." The moda is committed to promoting trustworthy AI and a trusted digital environment. To ensure the reliability of AI applications and to impede the dissemination of erroneous, false, and forged messages and images generated by generative AI, the moda refers to international policies, standards, and industry requirements and has therefore established an AI assessment center, released AI assessment guidelines, and is currently conducting assessments for large language models (LLMs). The moda is gradually establishing verification institutions and laboratories to promote AI assessment and verification and establish international exchange and cooperation.The moda organized two deliberative workshops last year on "AI Democratization" to explore the societal impacts of AI development from individual, stakeholder community, and national perspectives, inviting relevant stakeholders to discuss how to respond to the development of generative AI. Through discussions and feedback from participants, it became clear that addressing the diverse societal expectations regarding AI ethics is necessary, from data collection and processing to data utilization.To further respond to the expectations of various sectors for the proper application of AI in public governance, the moda collaborated with the Institute of Science Technology and Society of National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Industrial Technology Research Institute, and the Deliberation Democracy Center, Stanford University and organized the "Utilizing AI to Promote Information Integrity Deliberative Democracy Activity" held on March 23rd. Through the government's dedicated" 111" short code SMS platform, the moda sent random text messages inviting citizens to participate. A total of 450 experts, scholars, citizens, communities, and digital professionals were invited to participate in online discussions on topics such as applying AI to identify and analyze the integrity of information. The event received widespread attention, indicating a high public expectation for using AI to promote information integrity.On April 17th, the moda convened leading international AI vendors to discuss strengthening platform analysis and identification mechanisms and submitting language models (LLMs) to the AI assessment center. Participating vendors included Meta, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI; all recognized the importance of AI in possessing trustworthy, accurate, and secure characteristics. They also noted that during the development of language models, their teams are responsible for continuously testing and training the models to meet the expectations of reliable AI systems. As for developing language models for evaluation by the AI Product and System Evaluation Center (AIEC), participating vendors expressed a positive attitude towards it, among which Meta and OpenAI indicated preliminary agreement during the meeting.Furthermore, international vendors presented established or upcoming practices during the meeting to analyze and identify generative AI content. These practices include SynthID technology (used to watermark AI-generated images or detect watermarks within AI-generated pictures for easier identification of AI-generated content), AI-generated content detection technology, traceability labeling, signatures, user reporting mechanisms, and alerting users to AI-generated content.Based on the feedback gathered from both the public and international AI vendors from this event, the moda will continue to urge online platform operators to promote information identification and analysis mechanisms. Additionally, suppose users post or broadcast content on online platforms, including personal images generated by deepfake technology or artificial intelligence. In that case, it should be indicated or labeled to ensure information integrity.The moda emphasizes that collaborative efforts from platforms, governments, and the public are essential to address the challenges to information integrity posed by AI technology. Establishing transparent regulatory mechanisms and enhancing the public's ability to recognize AI-generated content can facilitate the promotion of information authenticity and integrity. Democratic deliberation will also strengthen societal resilience. In the future, the moda will continue to establish a trustworthy AI development environment that balances technological innovation and risk governance. This environment includes optimizing and retaining talent, prioritizing AI ethics and legislation, promoting data governance and circulation, and constructing a human-centered and robust digital ecosystem. <發布日期>2024-05-08T17:15:12 <更新日期>2024-05-13T17:05:36 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/4mjwvvco.khf.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/q0145lz5.2cr.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/12638.html <標題>Minister Audrey Tang Attends the American AI Expo Via Video Conference, Engaging in Discussions with Digital Leaders from Singapore and the Philippines to Share Taiwan's Experiences. <網頁內容>Minister of the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) Audrey Tang was invited to attend the 'AI Expo for National Competitiveness' held in Washington, DC, USA, yesterday evening (7th) Taiwan time via online participation. In the session on 'Global Approaches to Leveraging AI and Tech for Competitiveness,' Minister Tang served as a panelist, sharing Taiwan's experiences alongside Singapore's Minister for Communications and Information, Josephine Teo, and the Philippines' Secretary of Information and Communications Technology, Ivan John E.

This initiative aims to provide transparency on how these systems operate, encouraging discussion, collaboration, and parlaying. Ultimately, this policy enhances the convenience and security of government digital services. Today, together with representatives from six municipalities, international digital democracy organizations, and private tech communities, the moda jointly announced the launch of the public code platform website (code.gov.tw). This platform makes government-provided code publicly accessible for review and use by the public and other government agencies. In the future, more government agencies will be invited to join the rally of public code, facilitating the advancement of Taiwan's software industry through public-private collaboration.The moda explains that public code refers to the original source code developed by the government as a public good, open for access by all citizens. This initiative emerged in Europe in the 2010s and has been actively advocated by the free software and open-source communities in Taiwan. The moda's public code platform website went online today, offering 22 public code projects across 15 categories, including the front end of the open data platform. In the future, people can swiftly search for available public code on the website and download it directly, significantly shortening development time.The moda's public code policy encompasses three main dimensions: regulations and guidelines, talent cultivation, and information systems. The public code platform website launched today is part of the information systems component. Other related support measures include training courses and administrative guidelines for government agencies, which are expected to be released by the end of this year to facilitate the comprehensive promotion of public code and ensure the sustainable operation of the platform.Minister Audrey Tang stated that from today on, anyone who connects to code.gov.tw can directly utilize or improve code, continuously innovating and refining on the basis of existing code. This not only reduces the burden on government colleagues but also enhances the efficiency of public interactions. code.gov.tw is like an information library, with its code resembling books that everyone can borrow to read and study. People can then write a thesis and contribute it back to the library, enriching the world. This is another value of public code, achieving digital resilience for all through public-private collaboration.The moda stated that the public code policy has been echoed by some government agencies. For instance, the six municipalities have signed a memorandum of cooperation with the moda to collaborate on various supporting measures and jointly promote the public code policy in Taiwan. Today, Commissioner Shih-Lung CHAO of the Department of Information Technology of the Taipei City Government, Chairman Feng-yu Lin of the New Taipei City Research and Evaluation Commission, Chairman Zhao-Ming Wu of Smart City and Community Development Committee of Taoyuan City Government, Deputy Director Hui-min Huang of the Digital Affair Bureau of Taichung City Government, Chairperson Shu-Tzu Chen of the Research, Development, and Evaluation Commission of Tainan City Government, and Deputy Director Chih-Ming Chen of the Information Management Center of Kaohsiung City Government all attended to express their support.In addition, representatives from the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom's Global Innovation Hub, the Open Culture Foundation, and the Mozilla Taiwan Community also attended and acknowledged the value of introducing the concept of public code through public-private collaboration.

However, due to geographical reasons, there has been a chronic shortage of communication bandwidth, resulting in inconvenience in external communication. Along with its affiliated Telecom Technology Center (TTC), the moda recently officially launched SES middle orbit satellite signals on Taiping Island. Additionally, in collaboration with Chunghwa Telecom, the moda has implemented Wi-Fi and mobile network services on the island on April 16th. The total transmission bandwidth can reach 25Mbps, approximately 3.9 times the previous communication efficiency, providing services for the stationed Coast Guard personnel on Taiping Island.The moda stated that to enhance the communication resilience of Taiwan, the moda has initiated a two-year Non-geostationary Satellite Network Verification Project starting in 2022. Using the Proof of Concept (PoC) approach, the moda constructed a satellite contingency network composed of low-earth orbit (LEO) and middle-earth orbit (MEO) satellites to verify the feasibility of this emerging technology in improving Taiwan's communication resilience. The project prioritized deploying satellite equipment at essential nodes on the main and outlying islands or communication areas without heterogeneous backup systems. Taiping Island is one of these locations.In September 2022, the moda and the Telecom Technology Center (TTC), in collaboration with the Ocean Affairs Council, the Coast Guard Administration, and Chunghwa Telecom, installed SES mPower middle orbit satellite equipment on Taiping Island and completed the planning and construction of Wi-Fi and telecommunication base station for satellite transmission networks on the island. In April, SES officially launched the second-generation mPower satellite communication service worldwide. With the assistance of the Ocean Affairs Council and the Coast Guard Administration, TTC technicians returned to Taiping Island on April 7th to conduct SES mPower satellite tests and assist Chunghwa Telecom engineers in remotely opening satellite transmission links for base stations. After completing all tests on the 16th, the island's Wi-Fi and mobile network services were officially launched. After the actual tests, the total transmission bandwidth available to island personnel can reach 25Mbps, approximately 3.9 times the previous communication efficiency, significantly enhancing the network communication quality between Taiping Island and Taiwan.The moda will continue collaborating with relevant units and wish to complete 700 non-geostationary satellite terminal equipment sites, 70 backhaul base stations, and three overseas non-geostationary satellite terminal equipment sites by the end of this year, totaling 773 sites. These sites will establish a proprietary non-geostationary satellite contingency network for our country. Furthermore, efforts will continue to integrate non-geostationary satellites and diverse heterogeneous emergency contingency networks to strengthen Taiwan's communication resilience. <發布日期>2024-04-17T15:02:26 <更新日期>2024-05-06T16:50:35 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/50vujexb.e1n.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/12278.html <標題>The Ministry of Digital Affairs Collaborates with Public and Private Sectors to Enhance Marine Communication In Penghu, with Mobile Broadband Coverage Extending to over 90% of the Routes <網頁內容>The moda states that, to continuously strengthen Taiwan's communication resilience and accessibility and improve marine communication networks in Penghu, the moda has cooperated with central and local governments and telecommunications companies to construct additional base stations at high grounds along the route and has adjusted and optimized the angles of transmission for multiple existing base stations along the route. As a result, the coverage of mobile broadband signals during the journey along the route has increased from the original 22% to 91%. Wi-Fi and mobile networks are now available for crew members and passengers, significantly improving mobile broadband signal coverage along the route by 90%.Along with a team from the moda, Minister Tang inspected the improvements in mobile broadband signal coverage on the Penghu Ferry. The team included members of Telecommunications Universal Service Fund Administrative Committee, members of the Forward-looking Planning Committee, representatives from the three major telecommunications companies, as well as Mr. Jong-Lin Chyou, President of Taiwan Navigation Co., Ltd., Director-General of the Maritime Port Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications Hsieh-lung Yeh, Deputy County Executive of the Penghu County Jie-hsing Lin, Deputy Secretary-General of the Tainan City Government Shih-his Yin, and Director of the Kaohsiung City Information Center Chun-chieh Liou. They all boarded the Penghu Ferry together to witness and experience the improvements in signal coverage along the Penghu Ferry route, demonstrating the determination of public-private cooperation to improve mobile broadband infrastructure in remote areas.The moda pointed out that the Penghu Ferry serves as the transportation link between Kaohsiung and Penghu, covering a route of 128 kilometers. Previously, once the ferry departed from the shore, it would leave the coverage area of the base stations, leaving the ship to rely solely on geosynchronous satellites for communication. However, passengers could not smoothly access the internet or make calls during the journey due to limited bandwidth. The available conversation time and internet usage were limited to less than 1 hour, with download speeds below 1 Mbps. The moda utilized the Forward-looking Infrastructure Development Program initiated by the Executive Yuan to subsidize telecommunications companies in setting up three base stations in Penghu County, Tainan City, and Kaohsiung City, as well as installing onboard telecommunication equipment on the Penghu Ferry. Additionally, the ministry encouraged telecommunications companies to independently establish two base stations and improve 81 coastal base stations.After completing the aforementioned vital measures, the mobile broadband download speed on the Penghu Ferry route can now reach 10-50 Mbps. In emergencies, the broadband can transmit images and other information, allowing for early awareness of on-site conditions and facilitating the dispatch of rescue resources. During regular operations, crew members and passengers on the Penghu Ferry can use Wi-Fi and mobile broadband networks to call, browse, and send images or messages. In areas with good signal reception, it is possible to stream video smoothly and enhance communication accessibility. However, due to the distance between coastal base stations and the Penghu Ferry, which can be up to approximately 20 kilometers, network speed may still be affected by the number of users, weather conditions, and the location of the Penghu Ferry.Minister Tang stated that to enable the Penghu ferry to access mobile broadband internet, the moda has been working with the Maritime Port Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, Penghu County, Tainan City, Kaohsiung City, and Taiwan Navigation Company since October of last year(2023). With the joint efforts of the three major telecommunications companies, they have constructed and improved multiple base stations along the coast route, successfully upgrading the narrowband service that previously relied solely on geosynchronous satellite transmission for text messages to broadband service.Minister Tang stated that broadband internet access is a fundamental human right. Since its establishment, moda has been fully committed to enhancing digital resilience and improving the accessibility of communication services, which includes encouraging telecommunications companies to import mobile broadband networks in rural, mountainous, and transportation hub areas by adjusting frequency usage fee standards. For example, telecommunication companies have implemented initiatives in places such as the Kuaigu Lodge in north Kavulungan, the Taiwan Railway Eastern Line, and Mr. Brown Avenue in Taitung. Furthermore, through support from forward-looking planning, Telecommunication companies are encouraged to accelerate network coverage enhancement in rural and outlying island areas. The Penghu Ferry, which everyone boarded today, is one example of these efforts. In the future, the moda will continue collaborating with various sectors to promote the widespread adoption of mobile communications, ensuring that broadband internet services are accessible to everyone, everywhere.Following that, Minister Tang and the visiting delegation participated in a 5G vertical domain application service event in Penghu County. They experienced the application outcomes of 5G technology in AI inspection, telemedicine, innovative entertainment, and WEB AR.

Colleagues from the moda and its affiliated organization, the Telecommunications Technology Center (TTC), collaborated with helicopters from the Ministry of National Defense and the Airborne Service Corps of the Ministry of the Interior, worked together early on April 6th to transport low-earth orbit satellite communication equipment to the disaster area. The equipment was airlifted to the Tianxiang area, and technical personnel successfully received signals from OneWeb low-earth orbit satellites and established an emergency network to provide essential network communication for nearby rescue missions and trapped people for crucial use. This marks the first time in Taiwan's history that low-earth orbit satellite communication has been deployed in disaster missions to establish communication networks.The strong earthquake in Hualien severely damaged the Central Cross-Island Highway, causing communication interruptions in the Tianxiang area and turning it into a communication dead zone. In response, the moda mobilized Taiwan's first "emergency network mobile vehicle," equipped with asynchronous orbit satellite terminal equipment, on the afternoon of April 3rd, rushing to Hualien to join the disaster relief efforts. It coordinated with search and rescue operations to advance to the command base and stood by to establish communication networks. Yesterday, the moda received notification from the Ministry of the Interior's Fire Bureau that the search and rescue team would advance to develop a forward command base in the Tianxiang area. The moda immediately prepared three sets of mobilizable low-earth orbit satellite equipment. Accompanied by TTC technical personnel, the equipment was dispatched one by one via helicopters from the military and the Airborne Service Corps to the Tianxiang area early this morning.Upon arrival in Tianxiang, the technical personnel set up the OneWeb low-earth orbit satellite equipment and converted the signals into a WiFi network, which enabled rescue personnel to immediately send back the audio and visual status of the disaster site to the emergency response center. It also allowed people stranded in the disaster area to access network communication and report their safety status.With the assistance of the Fire Bureau, Ministry of National Defense, and Ministry of the Interior, the moda and the Telecommunications Technology Center collaborated to provide Taiwan's first emergency communication system established via medium-earth orbit and low-earth orbit asynchronous satellite networks. The moda will continue to enhance and strengthen the resilience of Taiwan's communication infrastructure, aiming to build a versatile and rapidly responsive communication network through diverse and heterogeneous backup solutions. <發布日期>2024-04-06T16:16:12 <更新日期>2024-05-02T17:48:36 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/l2zip1py.v5w.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/ohgdsfhk.snr.png,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/0uyydtmq.qdc.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片>https://youtu.be/T8gYucGStbg,https://youtu.be/5OObtzTsEDM,https://youtu.be/LlFyPLWY1fE <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/11992.html <標題>Ministry of Digital Affairs Supported the Establishment of the First Emergency Network Mobile Vehicle, Which Has Already Arrived in Hualien for Disaster Relief Dispatch. <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs(moda) stated that in response to today's (3rd) earthquake in Hualien, Taiwan's first "Emergency Network Mobile Vehicle" equipped with asynchronous satellite terminal equipment has already arrived in Hualien. It can provide emergency communication services when power and commercial networks are interrupted in disaster areas. This vehicle is deployed for the first time in an emergency and is part of the disaster response system. It will be dispatched in coordination with the local disaster response command system. Initially, it will provide communication services for disaster relief personnel to avoid communication blind spots.Moda explained that the "emergency network mobile vehicle" is supported by the moda and constructed by the Telecommunications Technology Center (TTC). It is equipped with asynchronous orbit satellite terminals and WiFi on board. Currently, it primarily utilizes SES medium-earth orbit satellites. In the emergencies of commercial communication network disruption or lack of power supply, it provides emergency communication for disaster victims in surrounding areas and rescue personnel. Also, rescue personnel can report disaster situations via satellite networks.The moda pointed out that although telecommunications operators have mobile base stations, they still rely on backend transmission networks for the base stations to operate normally. The "emergency network mobile vehicle" can assist telecommunications operators in quickly establishing satellite backend transmission networks in the event of interruption in existing transmission networks in disaster areas, restoring commercial network services.The "emergency network mobile vehicle" is constructed by TTC with subsidies from moda through the "Emergency or wartime application of emerging technologies to enhance the digital resilience of communication networks" project. It verifies that in the event of huge disasters, or emergencies, it can utilize asynchronous orbit satellite communication channels to provide emergency communication needs in disaster areas, ensuring that the emergency command system can maintain essential operations. <發布日期>2024-04-03T15:56:33 <更新日期>2024-05-02T17:46:40 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/ua2jg0u5.yy3.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/qk5y51va.j0a.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/mk1e0zgk.w1f.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/11898.html <標題>The Ministry of Digital Affairs has proposed three principal strategies to enhance Taiwan's communication networks' resilience and ensure the entire population's communication rights in emergencies. <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) has formulated and continues to promote three principal strategies to enhance the overall resilience of Taiwan's communication networks, Which includes "Building Comprehensive Communication Networks for Land, Sea, and Air Emergencies," "Strengthening Communication Network Protection," and "Popularizing the Construction of Broadband Communication Networks," to ensure that Taiwan's communication networks remain accessible and secure during emergencies.The moda points out that the first Strategy, "Building Comprehensive Communication Networks for Land, Sea, and Air Emergencies," is designed to address the possibility of existing commercial communication networks broken during emergencies. This Strategy involves the development of a "diverse and heterogeneous" emergency communication network that encompasses multiple communication solutions across the three-dimensional space of the ocean, land, and sky. It ensures that in the scenario of a significant disaster in Taiwan, even if some communication networks cannot provide services, other communication solutions will be available to meet the basic communication needs of the general public, disaster relief systems, and government command systems.For example, during peacetime readiness, strengthening the resilience of submarine cables; implementing disaster roaming mechanisms for public use in the event of regional network interruptions; establishing Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) communication systems for public safety and emergency response; and deploying asynchronous satellite emergency communication networks for use by emergency command systems during regional or large-scale network disruptions.Regarding the second Strategy, "Enhancing Network Transmission Protection," the moda emphasizes the need to protect critical infrastructure in network transmission to ensure network resilience. The moda supervises establishing and providing Critical Infrastructure (CI) in the communication and broadcasting sector to develop CI protection plans and information security maintenance schemes. The moda requires them to implement preventive, detection, reporting, response, and recovery measures for natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and cybersecurity breaches.Additionally, through the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCSC), the moda monitors the operational status of CI in real time and accepts cybersecurity incident reports from CI providers around the clock. The moda provides appropriate assistance and shares cyber threat intelligence, with 760,336 pieces of cyber threat intelligence sharing in 2023, achieving the goal of public-private cooperation in cybersecurity defense to enhance network transmission protection.The third Strategy, "Popularizing the Construction of Broadband Communication Networks," aims to accelerate the country's 5G network infrastructure completion through incentive and support mechanisms. This involves creating high-speed and user-friendly communication networks. The strategy encourages telecom companies to invest resources in remote areas to expand broadband networks and improve internet access in rural and outlying areas. By providing digital access opportunities and diverse channels of use, it aims to narrow the digital divide between urban and rural areas.For example, in accelerating the construction of 5G networks, in 2023, the moda subsidies the set up of an additional 1,477 5G base stations in critical areas with high population density, achieving a national radio population coverage rate of 97.39% by operators. In promoting the construction of high-speed communication networks in rural areas, subsidies were provided in 2023 to add 165 5G base stations, increasing the average coverage rate in remote areas to 76.29%.The moda will continue collaborating with relevant organizations to enhance and adapt communication networks to the evolution of emerging communication technologies and changes in the external environment. It will continue to research, propose, and promote resilience enhancement solutions for communication networks to ensure the communication rights of the entire population are preserved even in extreme scenarios. <發布日期>2024-03-27T16:41:26 <更新日期>2024-05-02T17:44:52 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/k3w04fq5.hlw.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/nezvhf0f.01o.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/xixwyoad.y0p.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/nh5peqae.cdi.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/11744.html <標題>Deputy Minister Herming Chiueh Attended the Prague Cyber Security Conference, Sharing Taiwan's Experience in Communication Resilience Response. <網頁內容>Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda), Herming Chiueh, and Deputy Director-General of the Administration for Cyber Security, Shin-ming Cheng, led a delegation to visit the Czech Republic, attending the Prague Cyber Security Conference 2024 held on March 19th and 20th local time. The moda stated that this year's conference was limited to invited participants attending in person. Deputy Minister Chiueh shared Taiwan's experiences during the conference, explaining how the ministry responds to the increasingly severe risks faced by subsea cables and implementing diverse and heterogeneous communication backup network measures. The delegation also met with representatives from the National Cyber and Information Security Agency (NÚKIB) of the Czech Republic to discuss Taiwan-Czech cybersecurity cooperation. Deputy Minister Chiueh also invited cybersecurity experts and scholars from various countries to participate in the "Advanced Cybersecurity Exploration (ACE)" conference and the Cross-National Cyber Defense and Offense Exercise (CODE) held by The moda in Taiwan. It is hoped that through international practical exercises, Taiwan's cybersecurity defense will be continuously strengthened to enhance Taiwan's digital resilience.The moda explained that the Prague Cyber Security Conference, formerly the Prague 5G Security Conference, is an internationally significant network and telecommunications security conference. It brings together government officials from over 30 countries worldwide. Representatives from the European Union, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and the industry also joined the conference in Prague to discuss the security of 5G network architecture and the safety of telecommunications network supply across various countries.This year's Prague Cyber Security Conference coincides with the fifth anniversary of the Prague Proposals on 5G Security. Recognizing the significance of this legislation as a milestone in the global quest for next-generation network security and trusted suppliers, it serves as a crucial reference for countries in constructing and designing their 5G network infrastructure. This year, the conference has invited cybersecurity experts from various countries to discuss and exchange views on cyber threats, ICT policies and regulations, public-private partnerships, post-quantum cryptography, artificial intelligence, etc. Deputy Minister Chiueh, Deputy Director-General Cheng, and the cybersecurity team were invited to represent Taiwan at the conference.Deputy Minister Chiueh attended the Prague Cyber Security Conference as a panelist on the 19th local time. The panel discussion theme was "Under Water: Protecting Subsea Cables from Cyber Threats and Foreign Interference."During the conference, Deputy Minister Chiueh pointed out that subsea cables are crucial for domestic and international communication, security, and the economy. In recent years, they have faced increasing threats from damage, interference, and cyber attacks. Take the example of the disruption of subsea cables that connect Matsu to Taiwan that occurred in March 2023; the moda responded to this growing challenge from a national security perspective. For instance, the moda swiftly switched to microwave and satellite communications to ensure domestic communication resilience. The ministry also emphasized the ongoing assessment of risks to communication networks in various scenarios and the implementation of diverse and heterogeneous communication backup network measures, which aims to enhance communication resilience and information security protection from multiple dimensions, including sea, land, and air.Moreover, during the visit, the delegation held bilateral discussions with Lukas Kintr, Director of the National Cyber and Information Security Agency of the Czech Republic, to explore future cybersecurity cooperation between Taiwan and the Czech Republic. They also engaged in sideline meetings during the Prague Cyber Security Conference, meeting with stakeholders to discuss cybersecurity protection, talent cultivation, and joint cybersecurity exercises. These dialogues aimed to deepen the connections and collaboration between Taiwan and government organizations, experts, and scholars in cybersecurity from various countries, facilitating the exchange of expertise and experiences in cybersecurity defense and offense across borders. They also introduced the " Advanced Cybersecurity Exploration Conference (ACE)" and multinational cybersecurity exercises, inviting experts and scholars from other countries to participate. Through the exchange with international cybersecurity expertise and practical exercises, they hope to continue strengthening Taiwan's cybersecurity defenses and enhancing the nation's digital resilience. <發布日期>2024-03-20T11:27:09 <更新日期>2024-03-21T14:41:42 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/e3zcl02t.zpw.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/kceru4cq.mkn.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/dpx2ib1p.y1g.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/11710.html <標題>Minister Tang was Invited to Deliver a Speech at the Global Democracy Summit, Sharing Taiwan's Experiences in Facing the Challenges of AI. <網頁內容>Minister Tang was invited to deliver a pre-recorded video speech at the Summit for Democracy in Seoul on the afternoon of March 18th. In the address, Minister Tang pointed out that Taiwan's experience in facing the challenges posed by AI and emerging technologies demonstrates that a belief in the power of co-creation and the implementation of democracy can shape outcomes that align with collective interests. Only by adopting the approach of democracy, rather than being solely led by technology experts, can we find the best solutions to ethical, political, and social challenges, the Minister said.The third Summit for Democracy took place from March 18th to 20th in South Korea, with the theme "Democracy for Future Generations." Minister Tang was invited to deliver a speech during the second session of the Multi-Stakeholder Roundtable on the first day's afternoon. The session focused on "Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies: Right-Respecting Innovation in Democratic Societies."Minister Tang cited the example of Taiwan's elections in January of this year to illustrate how bad actors in the pay of authoritarians tried every means to deteriorate the information environment and interfere in the outcome. However, the government and people of different political affiliations stood as one in fighting against bad actors by strengthening democracy and working together to pave the way for an infinite future, thus thwarting the conspiracy aimed at sowing seeds of division and discord.Minister Tang pointed out that Taiwan is facing a disproportionately high number of cyberattacks, posing a dire situation. The moda is responding robustly to ensure the stable operation of critical infrastructure and key websites through rigorous drills and tests. The fact proves that the round-the-clock rapid response team and frontline monitoring systems have been effective, resulting in a 22% decrease in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) cybersecurity incidents.Minister Tang also shared Taiwan's practice of "pre-bunking" with democratic partners from various countries attending the summit. The purpose is to foster mutual trust instead of simply correcting facts. Research shows that a good pre-bunk explains tactics used to manipulate and has far-reaching benefits. By learning to recognize these tactics, the people are empowered to build solid mental defense mechanisms.Minister Tang particularly highlighted the crucial role of the crowdsourced platform "Contacts." Contacts analyzed and assessed malicious and innocent reports based on accuracy and persuasiveness. With the assistance of real-time AI clarifications deployed by the g0v community, people can judge the integrity of the content.Minister Tang cautioned that nearly 40 countries are holding elections this year, and AI could amplify risks via deepfakes, echo chambers, and micro-targeting. Extremism, polarization, and isolation magnified by social media, are reshaping geopolitics. As a responsible member of the international community, Taiwan is willing and able to work with all stakeholders to ensure AI develops safely and sustainably. A democratic approach, not a technocratic one, is optimal for addressing this ethical, political, and societal problem.Minister Tang elaborated that Taiwan is advancing Alignment Assemblies with world-class partners, such as The Collective Intelligence Project(CIP), OpenAI, and GETTING-Plurality research network. The moda invited hundreds of thousands of citizens to co-govern AI in the context of information integrity: Protecting users from harm, detecting and labeling AI content, requiring digital signatures for advertisers, making AI systems transparent, and implementing citizen oversight of fact-checking and ongoing monitoring of AI incidents.Minister Tang concluded by stating that democratic deliberation will strengthen societal resilience. In time, Taiwan's AI-related regulations will also be incorporated into global common standards, further enhancing Taiwan's position as a reliable and trustworthy partner. This is just one of the many ways Taiwan helps to defend democracy, counter authoritarianism, and build a better future for all. She expressed hope for close collaboration with global democratic partners to make 2024 a year of revitalizing democracy. <發布日期>2024-03-18T14:45:34 <更新日期>2024-05-02T17:42:46 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/0lgqmoy2.4wz.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/inc5tzjq.ai1.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片>https://youtu.be/ZIwebiobCD4 <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/11602.html <標題>The moda has developed fraud analysis and AI anti-fraud radar tools, which daily detect over a thousand fraudulent advertisements and e- commerce products. <網頁內容>The moda is proactively combating fraud at its source by developing digital tools such as "Fraud Pattern Analysis" and "Anti-Fraud Radar." By using the AI training for anti-fraud warning models, The moda conducts extensive scanning, detection, and comparison of online advertisements and e-commerce products. Every day, it scans tens of thousands of items, detecting and matching over 1,000 suspicious targets. It automatically notifies law enforcement agencies or digital platforms and e-commerce sites to proactively remove them, effectively blocking fraud at its source. Major e-commerce platforms under the jurisdiction of The moda have not been listed as high-risk stores in the National Police Agency (Ministry of the Interior)'s 165 Anti-Fraud Network announcement for five consecutive months since October last year.The moda stated today (14) that it is commitment to provide businesses with a healthier digital trust environment, ensuring that people can enjoy convenient digital lifestyles without worries about fraud. In response to the constantly evolving tactics of fraudsters, The moda has outlined a three-stage approach, including the discovery of fraudulent information, public-private cooperation in prevention, and inter-agency collaboration for reporting. Through these efforts, The moda aims to offer diverse anti-fraud tools and technologies to assist businesses in more efficiently preventing and detecting fraud using digital technologies such as AI. By targeting the source, they aim to reduce the occurrence of suspicious online advertisements or stores, thereby lowering the chances of people falling victim to fraud.The moda has pointed out that, in terms of online advertising, The Administration for Digital Industries utilizes "fraud pattern analysis" technology. It automatically scans over 10,000 online advertisements daily and conducts pattern classification, risk assessment, and fraud behavior analysis. From this process, they identify approximately 1,000 high-risk fraudulent advertisements and automatically report them to relevant cooperative agencies, including the National Communications Commission, the National Police Agency's 165 Anti-Fraud Network, and the Taiwan Network Information Center (TWNIC). These agencies then take further measures to combat fraud. For example, they may notify digital platforms to handle the issue or TWNIC may activate DNS RPZ to stop resolving fraudulent domains, rendering fraudulent URLs inaccessible. These actions effectively enhance the efficiency and capacity of cooperative agencies and platform operators in dealing with fraudulent advertisements.In terms of e-commerce products, the "Anti-Fraud Radar" developed by The Administration for Digital Industries utilizes AI technology. It can set keywords based on recent popular products (such as baseball game tickets) and common fraud tactics (such as rapid increase in product ratings), and then conducts extensive scanning and matching through anti-fraud warning models. This enables rapid identification of suspicious fraudulent products and compiles them into a warning list. Currently, over 3,000 new products are scanned daily, with an average of approximately 140 high-risk products identified. From July of last year (2023) to February of this year, nearly 900,000 items have been scanned, detecting 27,000 high-risk products. This information is provided to e-commerce platforms for review and proactive removal to reduce the chances of people encountering fraudulent activities.The moda explained that the principle behind the Anti-Fraud Radar primarily involves establishing and training an AI model for risk analysis and assessment based on patterns from past fraud cases. For instance, it has been observed that most fraudulent products tend to have high prices and are easily marketable, particularly high-value items such as luxury bags, unlocked mobile phones, laptops, etc. By continuously adding new patterns of fraud into the database used for AI model training, the analysis model can become more precise in identifying fraudulent activities.The moda aims to establish a secure and trustworthy online environment for e-commerce platforms and the public through the development of digital trust tools and technologies. In the future, it will continue to strengthen public-private cooperation by sharing and utilizing suspicious fraud information. This collaboration will enhance the overall anti-fraud capabilities of the industry, safeguarding consumers and businesses from falling victim to fraudulent activities. <發布日期>2024-03-14T11:26:46 <更新日期>2024-03-15T15:52:54 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/hqmr4zjc.jgh.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/11480.html <標題>The Ministry of Digital Affairs' Office Expenses have been Approved by the Legislative Yuan; Allegations of Seizing Dongmen Market Land are Groundless <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs unequivocally clarifies the misleading assertions of Legislator Hsu regarding the allocation of funds for office spaces today (8th). The moda vehemently denies the claim that it has spent 4 billion NT dollars over 1.5 years on office expenses. The rental costs for the temporary office do not amount to 4 billion NT dollars; the lease agreement spans six years starting from 2024, with a total rental cost of 2.9 billion NT dollars. The monthly rent per square meter is approximately 754 NT dollars, which is deemed reasonable compared to the previous rental rate of 868 NT dollars per square meter in prime commercial areas of Taipei City. Furthermore, the office refurbishment expenses primarily encompass installing video conferencing equipment to accommodate the increasing preference for virtual participation in international conferences. All budget allocations for the office are transparent and have undergone scrutiny by the Legislative Yuan's Transportation Committee and consensus-building among political parties.Regarding the allegation made by Legislator Yang about the moda "seizing" land in the Dongmen market area, the moda categorically refutes such claims. The Taipei City Government has long decided to utilize the "Huaguang Special Zone 1" as the site for the Dongmen market redevelopment. At the same time, the Executive Yuan initially planned for the moda and other ministries to jointly occupy the land designated as "Huaguang Special Zone 2." This plan later changed to "行二行三(Xing II Xing III)." Neither the original "Huaguang Special Zone 2" nor the revised "行二行三(Xing II Xing III)" was ever designated by the Taipei City Government as the Dongmen market redevelopment site ("Huaguang Special Zone 1"). Thus, there is no basis for the allegation of land acquisition or interference with the redevelopment project.The moda explains that during its initial establishment, it needed more suitable centralized office space, resulting in operations spread across three locations, one of which includes the Yan-Ping Office given away by the National Communication Commission with limited capacity. After confirming the unavailability of suitable state-owned properties through the Ministry of Finance's National Property Administration, the moda initiated procurement process through open bidding. Among the two bidders, Shin Kong Life Insurance Co. offered the lower bid and was awarded the lease for several floors in the Shin Kong Life Tower, which currently serves as part of the moda's office space and the office of the Administration for Digital Industries. The Administration for Cyber Security remains at the Executive Yuan office.As the lease agreement expires in 2023, and considering the absence of suitable state-owned properties and the construction schedule for a permanent office building, the Ministry has opted to renew the lease through the procurement process ( 2024/1/1-2028/12/31, with three months rent-free).Regarding Legislator Hsu's inquiry about the meeting room and press room equipment expenses, the moda states that due to the initial setup constraints and cost-saving measures, the office initially adopted the furnishing arrangements of its predecessor. However, the setup needed large meeting rooms and video conferencing equipment; a procurement process was initiated in late 2022 to install conference systems, audio systems, video recording and playback systems, and online video conferencing equipment to facilitate virtual participation in international conferences. To ensure the quality of the meeting rooms, all related procurement budgets underwent a transparent tender process in accordance with government procurement regulations and were approved through three readings by the Legislative Yuan.The moda is actively seeking permanent office space. The Executive Yuan originally planned to construct a joint office building on the "Huaguang Special Zone 2" site, occupied by the Public Construction Commission, the National Communications Commission, and the Ministry of Digital Affairs. However, in January 2024, the Executive Yuan convened a meeting on office space, resulting in the decision to relocate the moda to the "Xing II Xing III" site along with other ministries. Regardless of whether it is the original "Huaguang Special Zone 2" or the revised 行二行三(Xing II Xing III)," neither was designated by the Taipei City Government as the Dongmen market redevelopment site ("Huaguang Special Zone 1"). Thus, there is no situation of seizing land or interfering with the redevelopment project. <發布日期>2024-03-08T17:32:28 <更新日期>2024-05-02T17:52:46 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/igob5owa.wa4.png <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/11478.html <標題>The Budget for Overseas Travel of the Ministry of Digital Affairs has been approved by the Legislative Yuan on the Third Reading and has been Budgeted with Cautious Caulation. The Budget is for the Implementation to promote International Cooperation in Digital Economy, Trade, and Digital Affairs. <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) solemnly clarified today (8th) that Legislator Chiao Hsin Hsu’s statement that 90% of the moda staff is not in the country is misleading and distorted. The so-called "stay abroad for 329 days in a year" is the sum of the number of days abroad for different personnel. In sum, there is no situation where a single person is out of the country for 90% of the time. The preparation of the budget for the 2024 overseas travel of the moda was carried out in accordance with the provisions of the "Main Points for the Compilation and Review of Cases of Officials Sent Abroad by the Executive Yuan and its Agencies at All Levels" and has been reviewed by the ruling and opposition legislators of the Transportation Committee of the Legislative Yuan, as well as the democratic parties of the four political parties in the Legislative Yuan at that time. After consultation with the DPP, KMT, Taiwan People's Party, and the ruling and opposition parties that were in power at the time, a consensus was reached and passed on the third reading.The Ministry of Digital Affairs verified the arrangement and has implemented it strictly in accordance with regulations. Regarding Legislator Hsu’s question about the high funding for some of the department’s overseas trips, the Ministry of Digital Affairs emphasized that the expenditure standards for overseas travel expenses of public agencies are based on the critical points for reporting overseas travel expenses set by the General Accounting Office, including daily living expenses, which are the same nationwide. Civil servants agree that write-offs can only be made per legal standards, and there is no such thing as a high class.As for the expedition to Singapore mentioned by Legislator Hsu, the moda pointed out that this business was originally implemented by the National Communications Commission (NCC) and was transferred to the moda after the moda's foundation. The relevant funds were compiled in accordance with applicable regulations. This trip was mainly to participate in the CommunicAsia international conference, hosted annually by the Singapore Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). Every year, the IMDA invites telecommunications and communication business agencies, scholars, and experts from various countries to discuss communication issues with the industry. Participating in this conference will help our government learn from different countries' experiences and take this opportunity to conduct substantive exchanges with Singapore IMDA, which will contribute to opportunities for international cooperation.Regarding the inspection trip to Seoul, South Korea, the moda explained that this trip was to conduct preliminary research on the Public Safety and Disaster Response (PPDR) communication system that provides dedicated mobile broadband networks for Taiwan’s police, fire, and other disaster relief units. Only the United States and South Korea are the first in the world. The completion of the construction of the PPDR system will help Taiwan's disaster relief units introduce this advanced concept and technology as soon as possible. Therefore, the moda plans to go to South Korea to conduct on-site inspections of available technologies, deployment mechanisms, cost-effectiveness, etc., as an essential reference for Taiwan's subsequent policy promotion.The moda pointed out that digital technology and technology continue to evolve rapidly and have become an important emerging issue worldwide. To grasp and keep in line with international trends and progression, the moda has been actively participating in relevant international activities to control Taiwan's information security, industrial development and transformation, and digital resilience construction, as well as to deploy those trends and critical technologies as soon as possible, such as participating in the American Information Security Conference (RSA), the World Hacker Conference (DEFCON), the Black Hat Hacker Conference (BLACK HAT), the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Telecommunications and Information Working Group (APEC TEL), the Worldwide Information Network Consortium (W3C), etc. There are also some bilateral or multilateral dialogues and digital economic and trade negotiations that were newly transferred to the moda after its establishment, such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Digital Economy Steering Group (APEC DESG), Taiwan-US Digital Economic Forum (DEF), Taiwan-EU Dialogue on Digital Economy (DDE), as well as participation in digital trade negotiations in the Taiwan-US Initiative on 21st Century Trade and the Taiwan-UK Enhanced Trade Partnership Arrangement (ETP), are critical for Taiwan to face the new forms of digital economy and trade in the digital era.The Ministry of Digital Affairs reiterated that some participants in relevant international conferences and essential occasions can do so via online meetings or video conferences. The moda has adopted online methods to participate. The 32 overseas travel projects approved by the Legislative Yuan on the third reading in 2024 are necessary, based on the requirements of the organizer or the characteristics of individual cases; on-site participation is a necessity before conducting or negotiating; and they are mainly used to promote international information security joint defense, assist the output of the digital industry, and continue to connect the global democratic network for international cooperation. Moda will use the budget sparingly in accordance with regulations to promote Taiwan's digital development and favor the well-being of the people. <發布日期>2024-03-08T16:54:00 <更新日期>2024-03-13T14:30:41 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/11288.html <標題>The Ministry of Digital Affairs is Pushing for an Amendment to the ""Electronic Signatures Act"" to Create a Trusted Digital Environment. <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) stated that the current "Electronic Signatures Act" has not been amended for over 20 years. To cope with the global digital transformation trend and the rapid development of the digital economy and services, the moda has proposed an amendment to the "Electronic Signatures Act," which clearly defines the functions of electronic documents and electronic signatures as equivalent to physical documents and signatures, confirming the legal effectiveness of electronic signatures. The Executive Yuan approved the draft amendment today (29th) and forwarded it to the Legislative Yuan for examination.In addition to promoting the digital economy and smart government, the moda also actively discusses with the Ministry of Economic Affairs the addition of "virtual network advertising" business items. In the future, the moda will promote the verification of digital signatures (a type of electronic signature) before advertising investment publication, expecting to effectively reduce investment fraud and ghost advertising accounts, creating a trusted digital environment.The moda explained that after completing the amendment of the Electronic Signatures Act, it would help the general public choose different electronic signatures according to application needs, fully realizing the advantages of improving efficiency, reducing costs, ensuring transaction security, and alleviating environmental burdens. It will promote the development of the digital economy industry and significantly elevate the convenience of cross-border e-commerce, which is applicable daily.To cope with the global digital transformation trend, The moda pointed out that an urgent need for amendment is required.The electronic signature refers to a digital technique attached to an electronic document that can identify the signatory's identity and ensure the document's integrity through encryption technology and various signature records. It meets the regulation of the "Electronic Signatures Act". It has legal effectiveness, such as signing electronic documents with the Ministry of the Interior's Citizen Digital Certificate (TW FidO) or a business certificate. If purely using handwritten signatures on electronic documents with mobile phones or tablets or signatures stored as images, such signatures can be easily forged, and the recipient cannot verify whether it is signed by the person, which may also have the risk of being separated from the document. Therefore, it does not belong to the electronic signatures definition defined by the "Electronic Signatures Act."The current "Electronic Signatures Act" has been implemented since April 1, 2002. With the global digital transformation trend, the current network environment is more prevalent than when the law was enacted. Lifestyles and work patterns are gradually changing, and the government and enterprises continue to innovate digital application services, steering the demand for electronic signature use. The "Electronic Signatures Act," which has not been amended for more than 20 years, urgently needs to be revised to cope with the rapid developments of the digital economy and digital services. Since the moda's establishment in August 2022, it has actively studied amendments, conducted amendment announcements, and consulted various sectors from June to August last year.The draft amendment of the "Electronic Signatures Act" has six main points:1. Specify that electronic documents, electronic signatures, physical documents, and physical signatures have the same functions, and their legal effectiveness cannot be denied solely because of their electronic form.2. Specify digital signatures as a type of electronic signature to clarify the relationship between electronic signatures and digital signatures.3. Stipulate that digital signatures must have certificates issued by government-licensed certificate authorities and have the legal "presumption" of being signed or stamped by the signators.While electronic signatures are like stamps in traditional paperwork, digital signatures use certificates issued by certificate authorities and are similar to the seal in conventional paperwork.4. To balance digital needs and digital inclusion, the draft amendment stipulates that before adopting an electronic form, reasonable opportunities shall be given to the opposing parties reasonably; if the opposing parties do not object, it is presumed that they agree to adopt the electronic form.5. To increase the application of electronic documents and electronic signatures by the smart government, the draft amendment removed the current provision that administrative agencies can announce the exclusion of the use of electronic signatures and set a 3-year sunset clause, which means that within three years of the implementation of the amendment, administrative agencies must apply this law.6. Considering the opportunity for future mutual recognition of electronic signatures internationally, the competent authority can recognize the effectiveness of certificates issued by international certificate authorities under the condition of equivalent security prerequisite, compliance with international reciprocity, or technical interoperability cooperation principles.Digital signatures save time and effort, making life and business more convenient.Government-licensed certificate authorities issue the existing Ministry of the Interior's Citizen Digital and business certificates. The amendment makes it possible to use the certificates for signing electronic documents, which will legally belong to digital signatures with the presumption of "signed by the signatory in person," and the application scope will be more extensive.For example, documents between two companies can be "stamped" online, and quotations no longer need to be exchanged quickly by courier. Individuals dealing with the government and banks can only sign a few documents physically, and they can quickly complete online signatures through electronic records.In terms of international applications, as long as the certificates of both parties are interoperable and the security conditions are equivalent, our courts can recognize the effectiveness of electronic documents. Famous international services such as Acrobat Sign, DocuSign, or electronic document signature verification service verified by TWCA, Chunghwa Telecom's Quick Ease Sign A+Sign, and DottedSign can all obtain the same benefits. The signing of international contracts, document exchanges for overseas nationals, etc., no longer need to go through multiple rounds of signing and stamping by mail; it can now be completed by online signatures, saving time and effort.For example, last year, the National Institute for Cyber Security, an Independent Administrative Institution supervised by the moda, signed a memorandum of cooperation with Lithuania through online signing. Lithuania recognized the "Organization and Group Certificate" (miXed organization Certification Authority, XCA) issued by the moda as having complete legal effect through online signing.In addition, the amendment will improve the regulations related to electronic signatures and will also effectively help in dealing with the fraud issues that the public is concerned about. As a co-organizer of the Executive Yuan's "New Generation Anti-Fraud Strategy Action Plan 1.5 Version," the moda actively prevents fraud from the source. It is currently discussing with the Ministry of Economic Affairs the addition of "virtual network advertising" business items. In the future, online advertising platforms will need to verify the digital signatures of advertisers, providing platforms with more convenient mechanisms to verify customer identities, effectively reducing fake accounts from the source, and quickly removing online fraud advertisements through cross-platform joint defense mechanisms.For example, when posting political advertisements on social platforms like Facebook and Instagram, Meta will conduct KYC (Know Your Customer) checks. Advertisers need to provide copies of their IDs, etc., for manual review. After the amendment is passed, KYC can recognize digital signatures, automate the review process, reduce the review costs of online advertising platforms, and allow more advertisements to apply this practice.For example, investment advertisements posted on Meta do not require KYC. Although a one-page scam recognized by the police has been able to block the domain in real-time and remove the advertisement within 24 hours, the ad is still on the platform before its removal. At this time, although clicking on the link will only display a fraud alert from 165 without any substantial losses, it still causes inconvenience. The moda will work with the Financial Supervisory Commission and the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of the Interior to develop related mechanisms. In this way, when the police determine fraud, various platforms will receive information synchronously through the joint defense platform and then quickly remove other advertisements published by the same signatory, achieving the cross-platform joint defense goal.The moda is committed to leveraging digital technology to create a safe, reliable, and trustworthy digital environment, which includes launching the 111 government-specific shortcode SMS platform and government-specific short URLs and promoting advanced technologies such as zero trust and mobile Citizen Digital Certificate (TW FidO). The "Electronic Signatures Act" amendment aims to build the critical foundation of digital trust. The moda will assist the digital economy-related industries under its jurisdiction in promoting the popularization and application of electronic signatures, accelerating the digital transformation of various sectors. The moda will also actively communicate and coordinate with the Legislative Yuan, hoping to complete the legislative process as soon as possible to meet the expectations of various sectors of society for this bill. <發布日期>2024-02-29T17:12:31 <更新日期>2024-05-06T16:38:06 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/ugllej2z.3if.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/pdv5epnc.zvd.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/0xtnm4ku.3to.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/bulpwsqh.xxf.png,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/0mbzfx5w.zfv.png,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/vzyxjhys.k3z.png,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/peozzblu.yp4.png,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/52ttj4gg.zta.png,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/vr4tkblq.zx0.png <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/10978.html <標題>Digital Minister Audrey Tang Invited to Participate in United Nations IGF Conference, Safeguarding National Dignity and Actively Engaging in Government Group Discussions <網頁內容>Responding to recent media reports suggesting friendly nations' intentions to assist Taiwan in diplomatic breakthroughs. Still, Minister Tang was reluctant to participate as a minister; the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) clarifies misconceptions regarding Minister Audrey Tang's participation in United Nations conferences. The ministry emphasizes that the claims made are inconsistent with facts and aims to avoid misunderstandings and disturbances among friendly nations.The moda explains that last October, the United Nations Internet Governance Forum (IGF) held its annual international conference in Kyoto, Japan. At the invitation of the United States, the moda participated in a forum held by the US on the first day of the conference to attend the official UN sessions without compromising Taiwan's dignity. Minister Tang registered as Chairperson of the National Institute of Cyber Security to substantively engage in government group discussions.The moda highlights that the IGF annual conference, a formal United Nations event, encourages stakeholders to participate in innovative policy discussions on internet governance. Countries or international organizations, with the assembly's consent, may host various sessions during the conference, as demonstrated by the United States' forum titled "The DFI: Principles to Action," held on the first day of last year's IGF annual conference.The United States invited Minister Tang to participate in their DFI forum on the first day of the IGF, representing Taiwan as one of the signatories of the DFI since April 2022. However, due to the registration system's requirements, which necessitate selecting a United Nations member country that the attendee's department belongs to when participating as an official, Minister Tang registered under the National Institute of Cyber Security to ensure Taiwan's representation without compromising its dignity.Anticipating potential actions by certain unfriendly entities against the physical presence of the minister, the decision was made to participate in the first-day DFI forum online. However, seizing this unique opportunity for exchanges with essential figures and officials from friendly nations on relevant issues, Minister Tang decided to travel to Japan and engage in numerous discussions on the sidelines of the event.Regarding passport-related issues, the moda clarifies that Governor Gavin Newsom of California invited Minister Tang to attend a closed-door meeting in the United States in March last year. Discovering the loss of her passport just before departure and considering the official nature of the trip, Minister Tang inquired whether she could travel to the US using a diplomatic passport. After deliberation by the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT/T), AIT decided to issue Minister Tang a B1/B2 visa, which she never claimed as a diplomatic breakthrough.Minister Tang traveled to the US using her diplomatic passport to attend the Freedom Online Coalition (FOC) high-level meeting in September of the same year. Once again, AIT issued Minister Tang a B1/B2 visa as per standard procedure. Throughout the process, the moda complied with all security checks, as requested by the organizers, without seeking any special treatment. Claims suggesting otherwise are baseless provocations.In fact, Minister Tang's participation in the conference, which was joined by prominent figures such as Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights Uzra Zeya, Digital Ambassador Nathaniel C. Fick from the Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy, as well as digital and diplomatic leaders from 38 countries including France, Estonia, and Lithuania, to discuss issues related to addressing risks posed by emerging technologies.The moda reaffirms its commitment to ongoing exchanges and cooperation with the United States in advanced technologies such as digitalization, industrial exchange, cybersecurity, and AI. The moda tried establishing multiple contact points and channels with the US to maintain close and friendly relations. When the US participates in the multinational cyber defense exercise (CODE) hosted by the Administration for Cyber Security of the moda, Taiwan reciprocates by sending representatives to similar exercises in the US. Several US officials, including Laura Rosenberger, Chair of the American Institute in Taiwan, Commissioner Brendan Carr of the Federal Communications Commission, and Laurie E. Locascio, Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), have visited the moda for exchanges.Regarding comments and expectations from legislators regarding the ministry's performance, the Ministry of Digital Affairs highlights its proactive efforts in implementing the Executive Yuan's "New Generation Fraud Prevention Strategy Action Plan 1.5 Edition," strengthening measures to combat fraudulent messages and financial flows of scams. Furthermore, initiatives such as enhancing management over third-party payments, e-commerce, and gaming points and establishing government-exclusive short-code SMS platforms and URLs have been implemented to improve trust in government communications and combat fraud.To counter foreign information manipulation and intervention, the moda collaborates with relevant law enforcement agencies and cross-border platforms such as Meta and Google to establish rapid communication channels for reporting illegal activities. Initiatives such as actively blocking advertisements from foreign sites and expediting handling high-risk accounts have been undertaken, with close coordination with LINE corporation.Additionally, the National Institute of Cyber Security actively invites relevant law enforcement agencies, such as the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice and the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of the Interior, to exchange techniques for message analysis, sharing relevant research outcomes with participating agencies and incorporating feedback for continuous improvement. Meanwhile, the National Institute of Cyber Security is also actively cooperating with third-party verification units, such as the "Taiwan Fact Checking Center," to use AI technology to analyze controversial information and provide traceability and consulting services to enhance response capabilities.Moreover, the Taiwan Network Information Center (TWNIC) under the Ministry of Digital Affairs has established a DNS RPZ (Response Policy Zone) mechanism, allowing for the suspension of domain name resolution based on court judgments or administrative penalties authorized by law. Law enforcement agencies can urgently apply RPZ to block domains involved in major financial crimes, counterfeit government websites, fraudulent websites, and counterfeit websites during elections. Last year alone, 34,561 cases were blocked, a significant increase from the previous year's 2,945. <發布日期>2024-02-18T17:17:08 <更新日期>2024-04-09T17:01:32 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/10966.html <標題>The moda Actively Supervises NICS to Strengthen Anti-Fraud Measures and Never had a Reduction in Digital Information Analysis Personnel <網頁內容>Regarding today's (17th) media reports claiming that a senior national security official accused the Ministry of Digital Affairs(moda) of engaging in deceptive practices. The moda states that the National Institute of Cyber Security (NICS), an executive agency supervised by the moda, is responsible for developing cybersecurity technologies. Since its establishment, it has emphasized developing cybersecurity tools for detecting fraud and controversial messages. These tools are provided to relevant units, and the research and development works have never been interrupted. Minister of the moda Audrey Tang concurrently serves as the chairperson of the NICS, actively supervising the center to promote the adoption of relevant technologies by relevant units, contrary to the claims of reducing related personnel as reported. Additionally, due to the application of deepfake and message analysis technologies in preventing fraudulent advertisements, a particular budget for the "Smart Anti-Fraud" project was added this year to promote related technology development.The moda emphasizes that the NICS has proactively invited relevant law enforcement units, such as the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice and the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Interior, to exchange information analysis technologies. The center provides related research and development results to the participating units. Based on feedback from each unit serves as a reference for continuous improvement and development. The NICS also collaborates with third-party fact-checking organizations such as the Taiwan FactCheck Center, using AI technology to analyze controversial messages, providing traceability and consultation services to enhance response capabilities.The "Digital Information Analysis Team'' of the NICS's Center of Research Acquisition is responsible for this work. The team employed two people last year, and one person left, with no significant changes in personnel. The center continues to welcome outstanding professionals to join this effort. The NICS actively develops related technologies, provides various professional services, and does not have the situation described by specific media individuals.The moda further states that since its establishment, it has been actively implementing the "Next-generation anti-fraud strategy guidelines, version 1.5" of the Executive Yuan, strengthening the prevention of fraudulent messages and blocking fraudulent money flows. It has enhanced the management of third-party payments, e-commerce, and game points, as well as established the "111" government-exclusive shortcode SMS platform and government-specific short URLs for use by all levels of government agencies. This strengthens the trustworthiness of government messages to combat fraudulent crimes.The moda, under its jurisdiction, has constructed the DNS RPZ (Response Policy Zone) mechanism for TWNIC (Taiwan Network Information Center). It stops resolving domain names according to court judgments or legally authorized administrative penalties. Law enforcement agencies, such as the police and the Investigation Bureau, can urgently apply for RPZ interception in significant financial crimes, fake government websites, fraudulent websites, and fake websites during elections. Last year, 34,561 interceptions were made, far exceeding the previous year's 2,945.To cope with foreign information manipulation interference, the moda actively cooperates with the Executive Yuan's Cybersecurity Office to establish the "Basic Norms and Division of Responsibilities for Internet Content Management" platform. It collaborates with law enforcement agencies and Meta, Google, and other large cross-border platforms to establish a rapid contact channel. The NICS reports immediately and coordinates proactively blocking advertising imports from external sites, expediting the handling of high-risk account units. Since establishing the NICS, it has actively cooperated with law enforcement agencies, the Investigation Bureau, the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and third-party fact-checking units, providing traceability and consultation services to enhance response capabilities.Regarding Taiwan-U.S. cooperation, the NICS has established multiple contact points and channels with counter agencies from the United States and friendly countries. NICS hosts video conferences, visits, and information exchanges and regularly sends personnel for professional training to strengthen cooperation. The NICS has established the Center of International Collaboration and Cybersecurity Governance, which promotes international exchanges and cooperation. It has built mutual trust in cybersecurity with the United States and friendly countries. The exchanges are active, and memorandums of understanding have been signed with multiple countries, continuing to solidify institutionalized cooperation and exchange work. There is no delay in signing MOUs, as mentioned.To further establish connections and attract more friendly countries to help enhance Taiwan's overall cybersecurity defense capabilities, the NICS has made international linkages and cooperative defense a key focus since its establishment. The NICS collaborates with top public and private institutions in the United States, including US-CERT, CISA, NIST, UC Berkeley, and Team Cymru, on various cybersecurity issues. The cooperative partnership with US-CERT and CISA has strengthened our country's international exchanges, promoted in-depth cooperation in reporting cybersecurity incidents, sharing cybersecurity intelligence, and collaborating on threat defense technologies.Additionally, regarding reports in the media claiming that theAdministration for Cyber Security(ACS) refuses to communicate and has degenerated to become an administrative office under the Executive Yuan, the moda states that the ACS, to enhance the overall cybersecurity defense system in our country, plans and promotes cross-agency and cross-domain cybersecurity programs and projects. It coordinates central government agencies, direct municipalities, and county and city governments through the "Executive Yuan Cybersecurity Council" platform to jointly construct and strengthen the overall cybersecurity environment in Taiwan.To make the outside world aware of the developments in cybersecurity, the ACS releases the "Cybersecurity Monthly Report" on its official website every month. The report provides recent policy highlights and overall threat trends. It regularly discloses essential information such as the "National Cybersecurity Situation Report" and the "Summary Report on Audits of Government Agencies." It also offers related cybersecurity protection recommendations. The ACS encourages all agencies to share cybersecurity threat intelligence and promotes cross-agency cybersecurity defense. However, to avoid affecting the willingness and effectiveness of agencies to report incidents, it is appropriate for each incident to be publicly addressed by the relevant agency.The ACS focuses on understanding the root causes of incidents, formulates improvement and preventive measures based on this understanding, and collaborates with various agencies to defend against possible damage jointly. In addition, to enhance public-private joint defense, it promotes the sharing of cybersecurity threat intelligence through the "Taiwan Computer Emergency Response Team/Coordination Center (TWCERT/CC)" operated by the NICS. It encourages private sector participation in the Taiwan Cyber Security Alliance to obtain cybersecurity threat intelligence and assistance.To enhance government agencies' cybersecurity defense and response capabilities at all levels governed by the "Cybersecurity Management Act," the ACS selects various government agencies for network attack and defense drills every year. Weaknesses discovered are individually notified to the agencies for improvement. For common weaknesses across agencies, after removing agency-identifying information, the ACS shares attack methods and system design weaknesses during government cybersecurity patrol seminars. This is done to help agencies perform self-examinations and enhance defense measures. <發布日期>2024-02-17T17:38:20 <更新日期>2024-04-09T16:54:55 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/10744.html <標題>Minister Tang Meets the Delegation Led by Governor of Tokyo Yuriko Koike with the Expectation of Strengthening Bilateral Cooperation in the Spirit of the ""Digital Way "" <網頁內容>Minister of Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) Audrey Tang received the delegation of Yuriko Koike, Governor of Tokyo, on 7 February to exchange thoughts on strengthening digital cooperation, digital transformation, and industrial interactions. Minister Tang pointed out that last year, Taiwan and Japan had intense collaboration in the international track of the Presidential Hackathon. The Administration of Digital Industries also led delegations to Japan to promote the application of 5G networks. She hoped both sides could strengthen the cooperation based on the shared idea of the "Digital Way."Minister Tang stated that Taiwan emphasized international cooperation and civic participation concerning the promotion of digital transformation to elevate the government's digital service. Taiwan has launched the Presidential Hackathon since 2019. Last year, Taiwan cooperated with the Governor's Cup Hackathon in Tokyo, Japan, to promote the event and extend participation. Minister Tang appreciates the assistance of the Deputy Governor of Tokyo, Manabu Miyasaka, in filming a video to promote the international track of the Presidential Hackathon. Last year, it received 60 entries from more than 30 countries, which is the highest number of entries since the initiation of the Presidential Hackathon. The moda looks forward to extending cooperation with Tokyo this year to bolster the number of participants and stimulate more creativity.Minister Tang pointed out that the Administration of Digital Industries is committed to promoting 5G private networks and accelerating industrial digital transformation. To encourage exchanges on 5G private network applications and foster cooperation between the digital industry of Taiwan and Japan, the Director General of the Administration of Digital Industries, Mr. Jang-Hwa Leu, led a delegation to Japan last year to learn about Japan's experience in promoting the introduction of Local 5G and its practices. The delegation participated in the Autonomous Bodies Public WEEK exhibition in Tokyo, together with the Institute for Information Industry, to showcase the 5G, AI, AR/VR, and other technological application solutions by Taiwan's companies. The delegation also exchanged views with the Information and Communications Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) on the development of the digital industry in Taiwan and Japan, which successfully opened a new chapter in the bilateral cooperation in the digital sector, as well as promoting the exchanges and cooperation in the 5G-related laws and regulations, technologies, and applications.Minister Tang highlighted the shared vision of the "Digital Way (デジ道)" betweenTaiwan and Japan, emphasizing a commitment to digital inclusivity for all citizens to build digital societies that leave no one behind. With this shared vision, Taiwan hopes to deepen bilateral collaboration and exchanges with Japan.During the meeting, Governor Koike of Tokyo underscored the city's digital transformation initiatives, including establishing a dedicated digital department to enhance the digital experience for its 14 million residents. Governor Koike appreciated Minister Tang's consistent virtual participation in Tokyo's digital events and reiterated the importance of ongoing Taiwan-Japan cooperation, particularly optimizing outcomes for the Tokyo Governor's Cup Hackathon.Also in attendance at the meeting were Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association Taipei Office Chief Representative Katayama Kazuyuki, Special Advisor to the Governor on International Affairs Noboru Sekiguchi, Deputy Director General and Senior Assistant to the Governor of Office of the Governor for Policy Planning Akira Sato and Senior Director of Digital Services Promotion Division of Bureau of Digital Services Kunio Makishima from Tokyo Metropolitan Government. <發布日期>2024-02-07T10:36:50 <更新日期>2024-02-20T11:05:57 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/tf1lbe54.pyq.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/fj3vsiig.ztx.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/10531.html <標題>The 111 Government SMS Platform Sent Out Over 4 Million Messages, with 30 Agencies Cooperating to Reduce the Risk of Scams. <網頁內容>The moda has established the 111 Government Exclusive Short Message (SMS) platform to create a trustworthy source of government information, reducing the risk of SMS fraud for the public. As of the end of January, it has been utilized in various public service sectors, including Taiwan Water Corporation, Taiwan Power Company, and the Labor Insurance Bureau of the Ministry of Labor, sending over 4.32 million SMS messages. Additionally, 30 agencies have procured over 6.9 million SMS messages and expect to accumulate 100 million government SMS messages by the end of this year. The Ministry of Digital Affairs(moda) hopes that the 111 Government SMS will help the public verify the authenticity of government messages and prevent illicit actors from impersonating government information.The moda pointed out that to implement the Executive Yuan's "New Generation Anti-Fraud Strategy Action Plan 1.5," the 111 Government Exclusive Short Message platform was completed by the end of September last year. By the end of January this year, 24 agencies had sent over 4.32 million SMS messages. To accelerate the adoption of the 111 SMS across all levels of government, on January 4 this year, the government jointly provided a procurement contract for nationwide government agencies and state-owned enterprises. So far, 30 agencies have procured over 6.9 million SMS messages. The types of SMS messages are primarily related to people's livelihoods, including water and electricity payment notifications, overdue tax payment notifications, fine payments, notifications of National Pension rights, outpatient schedule changes, etc.The moda pointed out that the benefits of using the 111 SMS by agencies have gradually become apparent. For example, after receiving an SMS from the Ministry of Justice's Administrative Enforcement Agency, citizens discovered arrears and paid them accordingly, demonstrating that citizens have correctly identified and trust government SMS messages. In addition, when citizens receive 111 short-code SMS messages displaying information related to taxes, water and electricity fees, administrative fees, payment system verification codes, etc., they can quickly identify the content sent by the government, providing reassurance and trust.The moda emphasized that it is committed to using digital technology to create a secure living environment for the public. The content of 111 SMS messages must be signed with the sending agency or service name, allowing citizens to recognize the sender's identity easily. If the SMS contains a URL, the government domain name gov.tw will be prioritized to ensure the accuracy and security of the SMS content.The moda stated that currently, around 30 central and local government and state-owned enterprises, including the Ministry of Labor, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, Taipei City government, New Taipei City government, Taiwan Water Corporation, and Taiwan Power Company, have procured 111 SMS messages. Soon, agencies at all levels will uniformly use 111 SMS messages. The moda will continue collaborating with agencies at all levels to promote trusted digital technology and advocate for using 111 government-exclusive short-code SMS messages to safeguard the public's property security. <發布日期>2024-01-31T10:03:41 <更新日期>2024-03-21T14:44:58 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/peivg1kk.1ir.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/9919.html <標題>Assessment of Government Digital Service to Enhance System Resilience and Improve the Public User Experience <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) reported today (4th) at the weekly Executive Yuan meeting on the "Government Digital Service Assessment Implementation." Moda stated that it has been promoting the Digital Service Assessment Program since 2023. In collaboration with governmental institutions, the project conducts an assessment of the online system of national and critical household service through on-site inspections and consultation of the aspects of high usability, ease of use, and maintainability. Up until now, the moda has finished 23 online service systems, which include the Entry and Exit and Immigration Management System of the National Immigration Agency, as well as the E-services system of the Bureau of Labor Insurance. Aside from the assessment, the moda provided suggestions for improvement and long-term progress. Meanwhile, the moda has helped the Ministry of Finance to elevate the efficiency of the E-Invoice system to lessen the internet congestion caused by large amounts of search queries by the citizens. This year, moda will select at least 20 vital public service systems to conduct the assessment, aiming to strengthen the resilience of operations, provide a stable service experience for the public, and increase trust in government systems by the citizens.Moda stated that the Digital Service Assessment Program complements the existing cyber security audit mechanism of the Administration for Cyber Security. It primarily focuses on conducting assessments and providing guidance for information systems that suffer nationwide user load and involve critical public services and ministries' new systems. In the past, government digital services occasionally experienced outages due to excessive user load, postponed response times caused by poorly designed network architecture, or service interruptions due to equipment failures. To strengthen the resilience of government digital services, moda conducts assessment checks from both procedural and technical perspectives. This involves assisting agency personnel in reviewing system architecture and providing professional advice to ensure that information systems can continue to provide services during abnormal fluctuations or extreme conditions.Additionally, the goal is to facilitate a prompt recovery after failures, ultimately enhancing the quality of government digital services. This year, the moda plans to integrate project reviews with the schedules of various agencies to construct new systems or modifications. By initiating assessment checks during the planning phase, the moda aims to offer resilience design recommendations. Through direct implementation of the project, it guides agencies in improving system robustness and fostering a resilience culture.Moda further explained that the Digital Resilience Assessment is not an imposed requirement but a collaborative process through on-site guidance. It involves the cooperation of expert teams and system organizers to integrate the concept of resilience into the organizational culture. This approach allows agencies to autonomously and continuously enhance the digital resilience of various services. The ultimate goal is to establish an intelligent nation with a sense of trust and a positive service experience. <發布日期>2024-01-04T17:32:23 <更新日期>2024-04-09T16:51:47 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/rrit0pxu.v42.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/r4ouz2xj.5am.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/qbffnoti.5ge.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/9571.html <標題>The moda Concluded Its Web3-related Activities, Showcasing International Collaborative Dynamics in the Public Domain <網頁內容>In December, the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) organized a sequence of international seminars and public events, including the "Next-Generation Digital Treasure Island – Digital Social Infrastructure Experience Exhibition" and the "DAO Taipei International Conference on Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO)." These initiatives served as a catalyst for enhancing Taiwan's global discourse on digital democracy, embodying the principles of open government. Furthermore, the moda championed a collaborative model between the public and private sectors, fostering citizen technology and civic participation.On December 9 and 10, the moda hosted the "Next-Generation Digital Treasure Island – Digital Social Infrastructure Experience Exhibition," showcasing the department’s achievements in promoting digital policy since its inception. The exhibition provided interactive experiences related to web3, highlighting the introduction of four "fictional characters" by Taiwanese DAO. These characters simulated their candidacy for verification through decentralized identity (DID) services. Attendees were able to vote without disclosing unnecessary personal information, thereby simulating the potential practical application of Taiwan's DID in the future. This allowed the public to envision the possibilities of web3 technology in their future lives and sparked imagination about a decentralized world to come.On December 12, the "web3 Verification Results Seminar'' took place at the NCTU Meeting Center. It invited technical teams that actively participated in the department's verification activities from September to December to verify and share their achievements in various key web3 technologies. The seminar also invited domestic experts and teams in academia, industry, and research, including Deputy Commissioner Yeh Che-Liang of the Public Construction Commission, Associate Professor Liao Shih-Wei of the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering at National Taiwan University, Associate Professor Yeh Luo-Yao of the Department of Management Information Systems at National Central University, Researcher Chang Jen-Wei from the Institute of Sociology at National Tsing Hua University, Wu Li-Chi, Chief of the Institute for Information Industry, Chen Chien-Yu, Managing Partner of Infofrontier Law Firm, and three tech-community participants and contributors: Hsu Wu-Long, Zhang You-Sheng, Lin Jia-He, and Zhuang Guan-Jun. They engaged in discussions on the future development of web3 digital infrastructure in Taiwan.In order to encourage widespread participation, the Digital Development Department organized online live broadcasts and utilized Slido interactive tools, inviting public servants with an interest in digital public domain governance and collaboration. During the seminar, expert scholars acknowledged the department's accomplishments in advancing web3 digital infrastructure and offered valuable insights and suggestions.On December 17, "DAO Taipei" organized an innovative international exchange forum, gathering participants from Japan, South Korea, India, the United States, France, and Canada for a lively sharing and exchange at the Heng Cheng Paper Industry in Xindian. Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, voiced his support for the DAO Taipei event through a pre-recorded video. The occasion embodied the diverse integration of civic society across national, cultural, political, and geographical boundaries. The forum delved into topics such as collaboratively advancing new organizational forms, enhancing the practice of digital citizenship through web3 infrastructure, and fostering diverse discussions, reflections, and visions to link Taiwan with the global democratic network.Minister Audrey Tang also participated in the DAO Taipei event via a pre-recorded video. She noted that DAO has garnered widespread global attention, transcending national boundaries and progressing toward a vision of a diverse universe where "Portable Code Interoperability Service." It is believed that DAO serves not only as a significant digital social innovation but also as a catalyst for the future of collaborative technology and democracy. <發布日期>2023-12-18T16:17:10 <更新日期>2023-12-29T14:20:44 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/03rewp0v.ksx.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/9355.html <標題>Moda Launches Web3-themed Event with Vitalik in Attendance - Inviting All Sectors to Experience Web3 Technology in Social Applications <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) has announced that, in response to the potential impact of emerging web3 technologies in the digital field, it will host two web3-themed events in December. These events are the 'Next-Generation Digital Island - Digital Social Infrastructure Experience Exhibition' and the 'DAO Taipei International Symposium on Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO).' Several international experts, including Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, have been invited to participate. The moda invites the public to explore how emerging technologies can enhance privacy and security while promoting digital civic engagement when using web3 applications.The moda pointed out that, with advancements in technology and internet applications, the internet has evolved from the initial one-way information reception of web1 to the familiar era of personal interaction in the online world, known as web2. Various social media platforms have emerged, providing convenience but also introducing challenges such as inflexibility, privacy breaches, data misuse, and algorithmic content filtering. Web3 represents a next-generation internet service model based on blockchain technology, offering enhanced information and privacy security to create a fair, open, free, and secure online environment.Since its establishment in August 2022, the moda has actively monitored the potential impact of web3 on the future digital environment. The 'Next-Generation Digital Island - Digital Social Infrastructure Experience Exhibition,' scheduled for December 9th, will demonstrate how web3 technology can be applied in daily life to enhance societal well-being. The exhibition consists of four main thematic areas, starting with 'Individual Identity' at the societal foundation and extending to digital communities and public resources. It explores how privacy can be ensured, personal data can be used securely, and mutual assistance can be provided in the digital world. The exhibition presents the moda's research and verification results in emerging web3 technologies and allows the public to experience a future life that aligns with digital rights.Furthermore, on December 17th, the moda will host the "DAO Taipei International Symposium," bringing together practitioners from decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) worldwide. Speakers include Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, Jelani Clarke, founder of DeSciWorld, Sejal Rekhan, founding member of GreenPill Network, and David Casey, director of Funding the Commons.

Over 150 information managers and personnel from various levels of government agencies have been invited to participate, with the goal of consolidating consensus on the future development of digital government. Minister Audrey Tang was also in attendance to elaborate on moda's goals and related policies for promoting digital public infrastructure. She hoped that the outcomes of this event will provide a concrete direction for the government’s efforts in promoting digital transformation.The moda pointed out that digital government is a pivotal aspect of global digital transformation. Collaborating with various ministries and agencies, the moda is implementing the "Digital Government Program 2.0" (2021-2025), emphasizing data-driven enhancement in the quality of government digital services. The program aims to employ evidence-based approaches to support government decision-making and elevate the overall quality of governance. As the 'Digital Government Program 2.0' approaches its conclusion at the end of 2025, moda initiated the collaboration process by inviting information managers from dozens of central government agencies starting in September of this year. These collaborative efforts take the form of workshop-style co-creation meetings, where participants work together to plan the next stage of digital government development.This year's National Information Managers Joint Meeting continues under the theme of "Consolidating Consensus on the Development of Our Digital Government." It has extended invitations to information units from the Executive Yuan, Legislative Yuan, Examination Yuan, local governments, and more, with a total participation of over 150 information unit managers and information strategy planners. Various activities, including world cafés and special lectures, have been organized to facilitate the exchange and sharing of experiences among attendees. The aim is to shape a consensus on the future development of our digital government and to plan the framework and direction for the Digital Government project scheduled for launch in 2026.In her speech at the joint meeting, Minister Tang highlighted the moda’s commitment to addressing common digital needs and establishing a convenient and secure digital infrastructure environment in the year since its inception. The ministry ensures that systems adhere to rigorous standards for data security, privacy protection, convenience, and accessibility. Notably, the T-Road initiative has connected 38 agencies, handling 90 data transmission tasks. The T-Road data transmission mechanism has been adopted for cross-agency data reconciliation and consolidation efforts, such as the Judicial Yuan's 'Citizen Judges' and the National Defense Mobilization Agency's 'All-out System.' Furthermore, aligning with the Executive Yuan's anti-fraud strategy, moda has introduced a short URL service and a dedicated 111 SMS platform exclusively for government agencies. These initiatives aim to provide trusted sources of government information, reinforcing public trust in the government.Minister Tang stated that these achievements are the foundation for building Taiwan's digital public infrastructure. With the support of the Executive Yuan, the moda will officially integrate digital construction into the national public construction. This joint meeting provides an opportunity for public servants who will play a pivotal role in future digital public construction. Ahead of the conclusion of 'Digital Government Program 2.0,' they can collaboratively participate in shaping the future of digital government. The moda will collaborate with various units to formulate the next phase of digital government initiatives.The moda clarified that the establishment of the National Information Managers Joint Meeting aims to advance cross-domain integration and governance, aligning with government information development policies. The initiative facilitates the exchange of information technology and experiences among government agencies. Launched in 2012, the meeting has been held annually for 11 years and has continued to be organized by moda since its inception last year.During this National Information Managers Joint Meeting, experiences and suggestions for advancing digital government in the public sector were gathered through world café activities. Utilizing brainstorming methods aimed at fostering creative thinking, participants worked to build consensus on the developmental direction of digital government in the public sector. Key topics included 'Proactive and Precise Government Services,' 'Enhancing Government Operational Efficiency with AI Technology,' and 'Ensuring the Continuous Operation of Government Digital Services.' These topics were actively promoted by the attendees as important focus areas.On the second day of the joint meeting, the Digital Government New Direction Development Forum featured special lectures. Allan Yin, Chief Technology Officer of DataDecision.ai, presented on 'Innovative AI Technology Integration: The Journey of Digital Transformation in the Public Sector,' and Dr.Chuan-Te Ho, President of the National Institute of Cyber Security, delivered a presentation titled 'The Power of Change and Inspiration: The New Generation of Digital Government and Sustainable Taiwan.' These sessions enabled attendees to grasp opportunities for AI applications in the public sector and gain insights into future trends in government digital development. The forum also included a digital new technology exhibition and experience area, allowing participants to witness and experience these technologies firsthand.The moda announced that, during this joint meeting, three future development goals for the digital government were proposed: 'Convenience,' 'Efficiency,' and 'Inclusiveness.' Three main tools were outlined: 'Data,' 'Intelligence,' and 'Resilient Operation and Trust.' These reflect aspects that information managers prioritize when crafting the blueprint for the future development of digital government. The moda emphasized the common goals of strengthening the digital governance capabilities of government agencies and creating public service value. In the future, they plan to continue understanding the public's needs through evidence-based decision-making models, collaborating with cross-ministry cooperation to promote government digital services, and thereby establishing a transparent, trustworthy, and efficient digital government. <發布日期>2023-12-08T16:04:29 <更新日期>2023-12-14T13:45:30 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/bhhubvrt.sex.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/fzqx2abd.2jp.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/4fiirn23.nrj.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/9089.html <標題>2023 IMD World Digital Competitiveness: Taiwan Has Advanced to the 9th Position Globally, With the Leading Position in Five Key Indicators Worldwide. <網頁內容>The International Institute for Management Development (IMD) released the 2023 World Digital Competitiveness Ranking (DCR) today (30th). In this assessment of 64 major countries and economies worldwide, Taiwan has secured the 9th position, marking an improvement of 2 places compared to 2022. Notably, Taiwan leads globally in five key indicators.1. Taiwan Secures Top Global Rankings in Five Key IndicatorsIn the latest assessment, seven indicators worldwide, Taiwan ranked among the top three in the global standings. Notably, Taiwan claimed the top position in five key indicators: "Total R&D personnel per capita," "IT & media stock market capitalization," "Mobile broadband subscribers," "Agility of companies" and "Use of big data and analytics." Moreover, Taiwan secured the third position in two additional indicators: "Higher education achievement" and “Total expenditure on R&D (%)." This underscores Taiwan’s digital prowess in areas such as research and development capacity, information technology, widespread internet access, higher education, and corporate performance.2. Assessment of Taiwan's Performance in the Three Major Dimensions: Knowledge, Technology, and Future ReadinessThe IMD evaluation is structured around three major dimensions, consisting of nine sub-dimensions and a total of 54 indicators. This comprehensive framework aims to assess each country's capacity and preparedness in adapting, exploring, and effectively harnessing the power of "digital transformation."

Additionally, improvements are seen in rankings for indicators such as “Investment in Telecommunications," "Communication Technology ," "Wireless Broadband," and "Internet bandwidth speed." These advancements highlight the effectiveness of government initiatives, including subsidies for 5G network construction, guidance and incentives for telecom businesses to expand communication services, and the promotion of 5G frequency and network deployment operations.2.3 In the "Future Readiness" dimension, which primarily assesses the extent of a country's digital transformation, Taiwan is ranked 7th globally, marking an improvement of 1 position compared to the previous year. Notably, Taiwan secures the top global position in indicators such as "Agility of companies" and "Use of big data and analytics." This underscores the advantage of our predominantly small and medium-sized enterprise (SME)-oriented economic structure, demonstrating flexibility and quick responsiveness. The government's efforts to subsidize digital transformation in SMEs, promote technological innovations such as cloud computing and data analysis, have proven effective. Moreover, there is progress in the "Tablet Adoption Rate" indicator, indicating an increased acceptance and usage of digital tools among the population. This reflects an enhanced level of readiness and acceptance of digital technologies among the general public.The Ministry of Digital Affairs(moda) has stated that the government will take the IMD report into consideration, assessing Taiwan's strengths and challenges in digital development across dimensions such as knowledge, technology, and future readiness. The moda is committed to develop the digital economy, promote cyber security, and expand Public-Private Partnerships to facilitate digital transformation, ultimately enhancing overall digital resilience. <發布日期>2023-11-30T15:03:25 <更新日期>2023-12-11T18:32:17 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/nctx5ma4.szp.jpg <相關檔案>https://www-api.moda.gov.tw/File/Get/moda/en/558kdwLKdQBhjs0 <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/8607.html <標題>President Tsai launches 111 Government SMS Platform, and moda promotes digital trust technology to prevent fraud from the source <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) held a press conference on the morning of the 24th, titled "Launch of the 111 Government Exclusive Short Code SMS Platform." President Tsai Ing-wen was present and personally announced the launch of the 111 SMS platform. She provided a live demonstration by sending 111 government SMS messages to the media attendees, showcasing the platform’s instant messaging capabilities. Through the moda's advocacy for the concept of digital trust technology, the government underscored its dedication to deliver trustworthy information from the source, thus reinforcing efforts to combat fraud. Minister Audrey Tang reminded the public that in the future, recognizing the 111 short code will allow them to verify that SMS content originates from a government agency, effectively protecting them from counterfeit government messages issued by fraudulent groups.Minister Tang clarified that the Executive Yuan had granted approval for the use of short code 111, enabling the moda to establish a government-exclusive SMS platform, serving as a trusted channel for government departments to send SMS messages. The moda also collaborated with major telecommunications companies to ensure that only government agencies using this platform can employ the 111 short code for SMS communication. This creates a singular, unified source of communication, making it easier for the public to ascertain that the messages they receive genuinely come from government agencies, thus reinforcing trust and safeguarding their financial security.Minister Tang emphasized that during the initial internal testing phase of the 111 short code SMS, central government agencies closely associated to the public, including the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Labor, the Academia Sinica, and the moda itself, as well as the Tainan City Government, participated. With the platform’s official launch by the president today, the moda is extending the opportunity to more central and local government agencies to apply for participation in the trial. By utilizing the government-exclusive "111" short code for SMS messages, the moda ensures that the public can place their trust in the information received from the government, simplifying the effectiveness and convenient dissemination of government messages.The moda introduced a government-specific short URL service (https://url.gov.tw/) last year, which transforms lengthy and difficult-to-remember URLs of government agencies into concise short URLs, facilitating more efficient public information dissemination. In conjunction with the newly launched 111 Government Exclusive Short Code SMS service, the integration of these two services ensures that government messages are not easily counterfeited, thus preventing fraud at its source and gradually enhancing digital trust within society. The moda will continue to promote digital trust technology, encompassing the 111 short code SMS platform, government-specific short URLs, zero trust, TW FidO, and amendments to electronic signature laws, to establish a secure, reliable, and trusted digital environment. <發布日期>2023-10-24T09:54:35 <更新日期>2023-10-31T10:18:10 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/upjgjhgm.fhj.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/ghnqnnff.2td.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/rr2icw0x.vvs.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/4cxgddyi.x5b.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/8589.html <標題>Moda Promotes Public Code, Gathers Suggestions, and Launches Symposium Series <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) announced today that its ongoing discussions regarding the promotion policy of public code in Taiwan. To corporate with a wide range of voices, the moda has initiated policy discussions on the public policy web engagement platform (https://gov.tw/Lzb). Additionally, a series of three "Public Code and Information Service Procurement Symposiums" will be organized, with the first seesion schedules on 25th of this month at the Tainan Shalun Information Security Service Base, followed by subsequent sessions in October and November in Taipei City.According to the moda, public code refers to the original code developed by the government, which is treated as public property and made available for use by the general population. This concept has been prevalent in Europe since the 2010s, and Taiwan also has active free software and open-source communities advocating for it. This concept is similar to traditional public construction, where the government builds infrastructure and makes it accessible to everyone. The same principle applies to government-developed digital software. For instance, during the pandemic, the Singaporean government made its contact tracking and AI temperature measurement program source code accessible to the public for widespread use. Similarly, the UK government designed its internal form creation and submission mechanism as a separate service to simplify complex government forms , which can be shared not only among UK government agencies but also with government agencies in other countries. Moda has made the source code of its official website available for use by all sectors of the society.The moda further explained that the implementation of the public code policy will influence the current information service procurement procedures of public agencies in Taiwan and will trigger discussions on the software industry's business model and information security in Taiwan. To reach a societal consensus, the moda has sought input from public agencies, academia, industry, and citizens through web-based opinion collection and a series of physical seminars during the policy drafting stage.The ministry emphasized that, in the past, information policy discussions have mainly occured in northern Taiwan. However, the decision to host the first"Symposium on the Procurement of Public Codes and Information Services" in the southern region is aimed at fostering connections within the southern information community and balancing information development between the north and the south. Tainan Shalun was selected as the hosting location due to its status as a prominent information security hub in Taiwan, providing crucial insights into information security management in public code policy.Eric Juang, Director General of the Department of Democracy Networks, highlighted that public code embodies the characteristics of open reuse of government system software code. This policy is a crucial step towards transforming the country into a smart nation, aligning with international software development trends, reducing the government's overall information expenditure, and promoting uniformity in government data formats.Furthermore, to demonstrate that government agencies can establish a model of digital governance in collaboration with citizen partners by making source code software and public code accessible, the moda organized the "2023 Civic Technology Pilot Site Demonstration Project." The completed code, APPs and related outcomes will become part of the public codes. <發布日期>2023-10-23T14:56:10 <更新日期>2023-11-06T15:23:37 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/8571.html <標題>Moda Collaborates with the National Fire Agency and Telecommunication Industries and Conducts Public Protection and Disaster Relief to Ensure Priority Communication <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda), in cooperation with National Fire Agency (NFA) of the Ministry of the Interior and the three major telecommunications companies, executed its inaugural drill for the "Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR)" communication system on October 20th. This simulation aimed to demonstrate that in case of an emergency, emergency command units could prioritize the use of the continuously operational telecommunications infrastructure provided by service providers via multi-core network shared public networks.The moda elaborated that PPDR is a national public safety and disaster relief communication system within a broadband communication framework. Currently, both the United States and South Korea have implemented such a mechanism, and several other countries globally are either considering or planning similar systems. The Taiwanese iteration of PPDR, designed by the moda, involves the construction of a government-led core network, integration with base stations of the three major telecommunications companies, and the allocation of mobile network bandwidth to disaster relief units during major emergencies. Special SIM cards are issued to disaster relief units to ensure dedicated priority communication.As part of the moda's collaboration with the NFA, a small-scale PPDR drill was conducted in Zhushan Township, Nantou County, during the "112th Disaster Prevention and Rescue Technology Achievement Exhibition." In this exercise, the moda established the PPDR communication system, while the NFA coordinated the 7th Disaster Relief and Rescue Brigade of the Taichung City Fire Department and the Volunteer Communication Unit of the Tainan City Fire Department. The drill simulated disaster relief using new technologies like "telemedicine" and "drones" in the event of a significant earthquake disaster.The moda emphasized that through collaboration with telecommunications providers and setting of base station systems, disaster relief units can utilize any undamaged base station from any service provider in the event of network congestion or disruption. This ensures communication prioritization, stability, and resilience, ultimately saving crucial time in rescue efforts.To further enhance the PPDR communication system, the moda has planned to continue the PPDR communication system construction project from 2024 to 2025. Base station integration will take place in selected locations within local counties and cities, and local disaster relief units will receive education and training. By assessing the feasibility of multiple agencies using the PPDR network, the moda will present a report on the deployment mechanism and a cost-effectiveness analysis of the mobile communication PPDR network. This will bolster the digital resilience of communication networks during major disasters, guaranteeing priority communication for disaster relief units and enhance disaster response capabilities." <發布日期>2023-10-20T22:34:30 <更新日期>2023-10-31T10:14:03 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/4u5xj5d4.23e.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/rlafdkty.kgf.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/iasvkfyl.axz.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/jxc3zcvw.aqv.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/8509.html <標題>Moda’s Initiative to Promote Public Code and Encourage Public Participate in Discussions <網頁內容>To actively explore the feasibility of promoting public code in Taiwan, and incorporate diverse suggestions during the policy planning phase, the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) and the citizen technology community launched the "Public Code．Opinion Collection" webpage (https://polis.tw/9nfw3ch6yj) on October 15th. The moda has invited the public to participate in online discussions about public code issues until November 15th.The moda explained that public code refers to government-developed software source code treated as public property and made accessible to the general public. This concept has emerged in Europe since the 2010s, and the free software and open-source communities in Taiwan have been actively advocating for it.The moda has initiated policy research on public code and aims to solicit suggestions from the public. In line with this objective, a symposium on the promotion of public code for the citizen technology community was held at Academia Sinica on October 15th, in conjunction with the g0v community's "Happy 11th Birthday Hackathon” event. The moda invited the citizen technology community to share information, and they also engaged the citizen technology community in a way familiar to them, creating a “Public Code． Opinion Collection” webpage (https://polis.tw/9nfw3ch6yj) to gather opinions from individuals across the country.The moda utilizes the Polis structure to construct the webpage, allowing for the instant categorizations of users into groups based on their qualitative suggestions. This feature facilitates the rapid presentation of common values and differences of each group, fostering open discussion and focus. The hope is that this approach can accommodate diverse perspectives from various ethnic groups and encourage citizen participation.The moda stated that the opinion collection on the webpage is not limited to hackathon participants or citizen technology communities, and will remain open until November 15th. Anyone with ideas concerning public code is encouraged to engage in online discussion. The moda will also organize symposiums involving the public sector, industry, and academia to further gather feedback and opinions from all parties. <發布日期>2023-10-16T16:13:50 <更新日期>2023-10-20T10:35:29 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/44sk5ygx.v04.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/llhsyt0b.0ik.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/8337.html <標題>Minister Audrey Tang Attends Global Emerging Technology Summit and Calls on the world to Join ""AI Safety Race"" <網頁內容>Minister Audrey Tang of the Ministry of Digital Affairs was invited to the "2023 Global Emerging Technology Summit" held in Washington, D.C. on September 21, 2023. During the event, she shared Taiwan's experiences in promoting digital democracy and called on various sectors to collaborate in the direction of the "AI race to safety " before unknown risks arise from AI. During this visit to the U.S., Minister Tang also met with senior executives from Meta to discuss AI evaluation cooperation mechanisms and issues related to the symbiosis of the news industry and digital platforms.The Global Emerging Technology Summit is an annual event organized by the U.S. Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP) since 2021, inviting key opinion leaders from government, business, and academia to engage in in-depth discussions on topics such as the impact and prospects of emerging technologies like AI on democratic societies. This year's summit featured distinguished guests, including U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Japanese Digital Minister Taro Kono, OpenAI Vice President for Public Affairs Anna Makanju, among others. As part of the "Conversation with Taiwan" session, Minister Tang engaged in a fireside chat to explore Taiwan's efforts in utilizing technology to promote democracy and strengthen digital resilience.During the summit, Minister Tang emphasized the need for countries to adopt deliberative democratic mechanisms like "Alignment Assemblies" to involve the entire population in AI development in response to AI's rapid proliferation. Taiwan will continue to build consensus with international partners to ensure that global AI development shifts from a "performance race" to a "safety race," enabling continuous leadership in evaluating the most advanced AI models and jointly constructing a trustworthy AI operating environment.Minister Tang also visited the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Washington Headquarter and met with AIT Chair Laura Rosenberger to exchange views on issues valued by both Taiwan and the U.S., including joint cybersecurity defense, emerging technologies, and digital democracy.During her visit to the U.S., Minister Tang also met with Nick Clegg, Meta's President for Global Affairs.

Fick, the inaugural U.S. Ambassador at Large for Cyberspace and Digital Policy, and digital and diplomatic heads of 38 countries including France, Estonia and Lithuania, jointly discussed how to respond to the risks brought by emerging technologies and establish corresponding security measures.Minister Tang said that Taiwan supports what U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that countries around the world should ensure that the development of science and technology is based on legality, responsibility, and compliance with domestic laws and international norms. Any technological development and regulatory measures must protect privacy and human rights. Taiwan insists on standing on the same front as our partners in the democratic camp.Minister Tang said that in 2022, Taiwan and its allies from more than 60 countries signed the "A Declaration for the Future of the Internet", jointly committing to building the Internet into a digital public construction that protects human rights, freedom, and mutual trust. By participating in the FOC high-level meeting, Taiwan is honored to further join hands with allies to defend the core values of freedom, democracy and online human rights.Henri Verdier, French Ambassador for Digital Affairs, met with Minister Tang that day to share French experience in promoting transnational public programs. Ambassador Verdier said that information systems jointly created by civil society and the government can effectively respond to social needs, and France will continue to invest in such digital innovation infrastructure. Minister Tang pointed out that the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) continues to promote open source localization. Among them, the communication software Element has been field-tested in Matsu. When the submarine cable fails, the call function can still be maintained through satellite, which helps to create a resilient digital communication environment.The FOC was established in 2011 with the purpose of protecting online human rights and the value of freedom and democracy. Through transnational cooperation and inviting stakeholder participation, the FOC jointly formulates Internet freedom policies globally. It has 38 members including the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, etc. In 2023, Taiwan joined as an FOC observer in the name of Taiwan.In the evening of the same day, Minister Tang was invited by the International Strategy Forum (ISF) to participate in a symposium on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, where she discussed global governance and emerging technologies with members of government agencies, industries, and communities. The panelists included Helen Zhang, the ISF Director, Nighat Dad, lawyer and founder of the Digital Rights Foundation, and Matt Sheehan, researcher at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, etc.Minister Tang said that the application standards of AI need to be jointly promoted by the international community to promote digital trust and protect human rights values. As a partner of the Collective Intelligence Project (CIP), an international non-governmental organization, the moda launched the Alignment Assemblies project, making Taiwan the first in the world to align the value of AI through citizen deliberation. Taiwan’s goal is to give all citizens the opportunity to contribute to the safe and sustainable development of AI, as well as to identify and mitigate the risks posed by this emerging technology.Minister Tang also promised that in order to achieve and echo this year’s United Nations theme of “Equality, Freedom, and Justice for All," Taiwan will continue to work closely with partners to strengthen digital development that takes into account the three dimensions of "participation, progress, and security." <發布日期>2023-09-21T17:15:58 <更新日期>2023-09-27T11:03:28 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/55pode2v.cyq.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/huf20lht.cxw.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/f0s3pg2h.m4g.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/xm5pknsh.0r2.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/8305.html <標題>Moda collaborates with 3 major telecommunications providers for the first-ever drill on ""disaster roaming,"" ensuring people maintain basic communication in emergency <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) is in coordination with the National Fire Agency, Ministry of the Interior for the "2023 National Disaster Prevention Day Large-Scale Earthquake Disaster Response Mobilization Exercise," and conducted its first-ever "disaster roaming" drill in collaboration with the three major telecommunications providers today (21st). This exercise simulated how the public can utilize cross-network roaming to connect to the operational mobile communication networks of other providers in emergency situations, ensuring their basic and secure communication rights. Through practical actions, this initiative aims to demonstrate how to enhance digital resilience. President Tsai Ing-wen was also visited to oversee the exercise, accompanied by Deputy Minister Herming Chiueh.The moda explains that roaming is a commercial mechanism that allows users of telecommunications provider A to access the mobile communication services of provider B in specific areas. "Disaster roaming," on the other hand, is a government initiative aimed at ensuring that the public can maintain basic communication services during significant disasters or emergencies. This is achieved through the cooperation of telecommunications providers, who offer a nationwide roaming mechanism. As long as the mobile network of any provider remains operational, people can use that network to communicate and access accurate government information.The moda said that the recent "disaster roaming" exercise was conducted on a small scale in the area of Hsinchu County Stadium. The choice of this location was made considering the high population and traffic density in the vicinity. To protect the communication rights of citizens and avoid any misunderstandings in usage, the exercise employed a "manual network selection" method to achieve cross-network roaming, instead of actually shutting down base stations nearby.Through cooperation with telecommunications providers and system configurations, participants in the exercise were able to roam onto the mobile networks of providers with whom they did not have original contracts. They engaged in various exercise scenarios, including "checking in with loved ones," "receiving real-time news updates," and "easily accessing evacuation information."To further enhance the disaster roaming mechanism, the moda has planned to continue the disaster roaming program from 2024 to 2025. They will study international cross-network roaming frameworks, develop Standard Operating Procedures, and provide recommendations for domestic telecommunications providers to activate disaster roaming mechanisms. This will strengthen the digital resilience of communication networks during major disasters, ensuring that citizens retain their basic and secure communication rights. <發布日期>2023-09-21T15:02:05 <更新日期>2023-09-22T16:17:16 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/kqhbzfkr.urn.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/3cdsbxqk.im1.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/6463.html <標題>New Record of 2023 Presidential Hackathon: Attracting Participants From 30+ Countries. Team Taiwan-India and Team Thai Selected as Outstanding Teams. <網頁內容>The outstanding teams for the 2023 International Hackathon of the Presidential Hackathon have been announced! This year's International Hackathon received submissions from over 30 countries, a total of 60 projects, which set a new record, said the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) today (6th). The final selection includes two outstanding teams: HysonTech, a joint team of Indian and Taiwanese members, with their proposal for an intelligent aquaculture system, and the Thai team Refill City, with their innovative app promoting the reuse of plastic water bottles. The members of these two teams will attend the awards ceremony on September 24, 2023, where President Tsai Ing-wen will publicly recognize their achievements.The moda indicated that the HysonTech team has developed FarmABetterFish, an intelligent aquaculture system utilizing IoT and AI, with the theme "Digital Transformation for Sustainable Aquaculture Production." This system is expected to save daily work hours, increase production, enable remote monitoring of fish farm environments, and reduce transaction risks, thereby promoting the concept of sustainable development of marine resources.On the other hand, the Refill City team has designed the lively and engaging Re-Fill City app with the theme "Refill City: Empowering Sustainable Water Consumption for a Greener Future." They collaborate with businesses and retailers to encourage people to reuse plastic water bottles through advertisements, tax incentives, and free access to clean drinking water, contributing to environmental sustainability.Since 2019, it has been the fifth year of the International Hackathon of the Presidential Hackathon, the moda explained. It encourages global democratic partners to utilize open data, cross-domain collaboration, and creative thinking to find innovative solutions to public issues.This year, the theme of International Hackathon is "Free the Future: Open, Digital & Green" and received a record-breaking 60 submissions from 34 countries. This highlights the global interest in democratic, digital, and net-zero issues. After two months of professional guidance and exchange, two outstanding teams were selected through joint evaluation by international committee members.The moda will continue to promote domestic and global community engagement and cross-border cooperation in digital means through the Presidential Hackathon and the International Hackathon. These competitions boost people from diverse backgrounds to exchange and engage in dialogue, bringing wisdom and passion together. This will result in more innovative and socially impactful projects in the future, fostering ongoing exchanges between Taiwan and the international community. The awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on September 24th at 2:00 PM at the Office of the President and will be live-streamed on the Presidential Hackathon and the moda's official YouTube channels. <發布日期>2023-09-06T18:33:58 <更新日期>2023-09-11T14:57:19 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/6439.html <標題>Moda Holds Deliberative Workshops to Discuss Development and Ethical Issues of Generative AI <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) stated that, in light of the recent rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), there have been concerns about the transformation and risks brought about by generative AI. The moda held two workshops on "Democratizing AI Futures" on August 26 and September 2 this year, respectively, to invite relevant stakeholders to discuss how to respond to the development of generative AI. Tsung-Tsong Wu, the Minister without Portfolio of Executive Yuan and Minister of the National Science and Technology Council, also attended the workshop on September 2.In his speech, Wu emphasized the importance of the development of generative AI in all government departments. Effective implementation of generative AI can enhance the efficiency of various government policies. Citizens are also stakeholders in the application of this technology, and therefore, the moda's democratic deliberation on AI-related issues was highly appreciated. Minister Audrey Tang expressed the expectation that this event would provide a good platform for discussing AI ethics issues. In the future, relevant regulations and educational training mechanisms will also be established to assist the government in utilizing AI to improve administrative efficiency and promote mutual trust between people and the government.The two deliberative workshops were held in Taipei (at the Center for Public and Business Administration Education, NCCU CPBAE) and Tainan (at the Cybersecurity and Intelligence Technology Research and Development Building). The moda invited industry, government and academia experts, as well as individuals who are interested in AI issues to participate. The aim was to shape the future development of AI through a deliberative model involving public participation. Through processes such as group discussions, exchanges, and debates, various issues were explored, including internal government applications, emerging regulatory mechanisms, information identification and fair use, data openness and widespread application, redefining intellectual property, and the impact on education and human cognition, to collectively discuss the future of AI.In addition, in response to the recently published "Administrative Guidelines for the Use of Generative AI by the Executive Yuan and its Affiliated Agencies", generative AI interactive exhibits deployed in local environments that comply with regulations were also exhibited, as demonstration references.Minister Tang stated that since the widespread adoption of generative AI, AI services now cover a wide range of areas, including translation, drawing, programming, and even providing inspirations, becoming important assistants in various industries. However, AI also has a huge impact on society. For example, a few criminals use it to impersonate others' faces and voices. This not only causes property losses, but also affects interpersonal trust. Once AI is manipulated by authoritarian regimes and malicious individuals, it will greatly disrupt democratic systems.Minister Tang pointed out that, currently, the most advanced generative AI models are often trained by a single company and then provided for global use. However, cultures and values in different regions often lead to significant differences. Models from a single source not only tend to be biased towards specific groups but also struggle to adapt to the diverse nature of the world. The modal is now an official partner of the international non-governmental organization "Collective Intelligence Project (CIP)," and has launched the "Alignment Assemblies" projects in collaboration with industry partners such as OpenAI and Anthropic. Through the "Ideathon" platform, they have initiated dialogues on the "Democratization of AI" and organized deliberative workshops to discuss how to respond to the development of generative AI. The aim is to make our country the first to use language models, assisting citizens in deliberation to align with AI values.Minister Tang stated that through discussions and feedback from participants, they have come to understand that addressing different societal expectations regarding AI ethics is crucial in all aspects, from data collection and processing to data utilization. The content of these two discussions will also be used to adjust the language model and promote the development of Taiwan's unique AI. In response to the expectations of various sectors for the correct application of AI in public governance, the moda will collaborate with the "Technology, Society, and Democracy Center" think tank of the National Science and Technology Council to establish relevant regulations and education and training mechanisms. This will assist the government in enhancing administrative efficiency through the use of AI while maintaining a responsible and trustworthy attitude, preserving independent thinking and creativity, and promoting mutual trust between the people and the government. <發布日期>2023-09-02T15:05:09 <更新日期>2023-09-12T11:46:08 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/4q0kknzt.lyv.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/ztlo5egq.a2i.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/jyu0geb5.a3h.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/6409.html <標題>Minister Audrey Tang attended the 2023 Asia Pacific Internet Governance Forum virtually and secured 2024 APrIGF host right <網頁內容>(To provide information as quickly as possible, this article was translated using an AI translation app. A revised version will be uploaded after a translator reviews it.)Minister Audrey Tang of the Ministry of Digital Affairs(moda) participated in the "Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum" (APrIGF) virtually to share our direction and achievements in Internet governance, as well as how to address challenges posed by emerging technologies. Minister Tang mentioned that due to the active efforts of the moda, it has been confirmed that next year's APrIGF will be held in Taipei, aiming to gather collective wisdom through this platform and collaborate with the global democratic network to explore pathways for mutual cooperation.The 2023 "Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum" took place from August 29th to 31st in Brisbane, Australia in a hybrid format. The theme was "Emerging Technologies – Is Asia Pacific Ready for the Next Phase of the Internet?" Minister Tang was invited to participate in a video discussion on the topic of "Is fragmentation the future of the Internet and How Can We Resist?"Minister Tang stated that internet fragmentation has various dimensions, with different interpretations based on legal regulations, cultural differences, technological disparities, or language barriers in different locations. Regardless of the form, when shaping the future of the internet, it is necessary to harness the collective wisdom, innovation, and determination of multiple stakeholders. APrIGF, as an important international forum, plays a significant role in facilitating discussions, sharing knowledge, and coordinating policies. The moda will continue to strengthen international connections, promote global cooperation, and collectively address the challenges brought by internet fragmentation.Minister Tang also used recent efforts in preventing online scams as an example, stating that the moda has established various collaborative mechanisms, such as DNS RPZ (Response Policy Zone), which is a joint anti-fraud mechanism created by corporations, businesses, and public associations. Taiwan Network Information Center (TWNIC) can immediately halt domain resolution upon receiving court rulings, administrative penalties imposed by government agencies, or malicious domain applications through emergency case procedures, to prevent the public from connecting to illegal websites and achieve rapid anti-scam results.Minister Tang emphasized that information regarding TWNIC's "DNS RPZ 1.0 Court and Administrative Order Block Domain List," the "Fake Investment (Gambling) Website List" compiled by the 165 Anti-Scam Helpline of the National Police Agency, and the Administration for Digital Industries's "Application for Stoppage of Resolution of Fraudulent Domain Names List" are all publicly available on the government's open data platform for multiple participants to access, ensuring real-time updates and rapid collaborative defense. Human rights groups can also review this information to enhance transparency and accountability.The "Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum" (APrIGF), held annually since 2010, is a regional-level event within the United Nations Economic and Social Council's "Internet Governance Forum" (IGF) mechanism. It involves various stakeholders from the Asia Pacific region in discussions, exchanges, and cooperation to enhance internet governance in the region. The forum has been held in multiple cities such as Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Seoul. After active efforts, APrIGF announced that "APrIGF 2024" will be hosted by Taiwan next year. This is the second time Taiwan hosts an APrIGF event since 2016. The event is planned to take place in Taipei in August next year, with hopes for broad participation.The moda further explained that internet governance involves bringing together various stakeholders including governments, private sectors, and civil communities to collectively shape the evolution and development of the internet based on their respective roles and responsibilities. Internet governance transcends borders, and the moda will continue to attend relevant international conferences, sharing Taiwan's governance mechanisms centered around the concept of "Digital Resilience for All," deepening connections and cooperation with democratic partners, and building a more open, inclusive, and secure digital environment. <發布日期>2023-08-31T15:14:41 <更新日期>2023-09-01T15:18:39 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/tdgeiwaq.ctq.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/ai30jv5b.seg.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/5c3olfe1.krk.png <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/6339.html <標題>Ministry of Digital Affairs will pilot the government SMS short code ""111"" to enhance digital resilience by preventing fraud at the source in late September <網頁內容>Minister Tang of Digital Affairs stated today (25th) that in order to reduce the risk of the public falling victim to government impersonation SMS scams, the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) is planning a dedicated government short code SMS platform. In the future, various government agencies will be able to send SMS messages through the specific and dedicated government short code "111". With a memorable 3-digit code, it will allow the public to recognize that the SMS is indeed sent from the government. The platform is expected to be launched for trial at the end of September 2023, and the moda will actively engage suitable and willing central government agencies to participate.The moda held a media gathering to elaborate its key policies, progress in governance, and respond to media inquiries today. Attendees included Minister Tang, Deputy Minister Herming Chiueh, Deputy Minister Huai-jen Lee, Deputy Minister Ning Yeh, Deputy Director General of the Administration for Digital Industries Betty Hu, Deputy Director General of the Administration for Cyber Security Chun-yin Lin, and President of the National Institute of Cyber Security Quan-te Ho.During the meeting, Minister Tang announced that following approval from the Executive Yuan, the government's dedicated short code SMS platform will use the 3-digit "111" as the short code for government agencies to send SMS messages. The moda has coordinated with telecommunications operators to implement checks and controls at the SMS sending end, ensuring that the "111" code only can be sent through this platform both domestically and internationally, and guaranteeing that SMS messages sent to people's phones cannot be impersonated using the code.Minister Tang pointed out that the moda launched the government's dedicated URL shortening service (https://url.gov.tw/) last year, allowing government agencies to make URLs shorter and easier to remember. This helps government agencies disseminate public information and enables the public to identify government websites more easily, reducing the risk of falling for scams or phishing websites. Through the URL shortening service and the introduction of the government's dedicated short code SMS "111" , government messages will be secured from easy misuse. It will also help prevent fraud from the source and enhance digital resilience in society.Regarding promoting industrial development and digital transformation, Minister Tang mentioned that given the continuous growth of internet-based services such as remote work, video conferencing, and digital entertainment, the moda has referred to the planning methods and technical specifications of various countries (including the United States, Canada, Brazil, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Japan, and the European Union) to open up the 6GHz frequency band for Wi-Fi 6E. After the relevant regulatory orders were approved by the Executive Yuan, Minister Tang signed the document on August 24th. Once the National Communications Commission completes the equipment inspection regulations and procedures for Wi-Fi 6E devices, the public can experience the latest technology.Minister Tang explained that, unlike the current Wi-Fi operating in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands, Wi-Fi 6E adds the ability to use the 6GHz (5945-6425MHz) frequency band, supporting greater bandwidth, faster transmission speeds, and lower latency. Opening up Wi-Fi 6E will promote the development of related industries, such as the establishment of smart factories by businesses, and further improve the public's experience with innovative technologies, such as supporting AR, VR, and wearable entertainment devices.The moda is actively promoting Private 5G networks and was officially open for applications throughAdministration for Digital Industries,moda in June this year. As of the end of July, they have received over 40 applications. On August 11th, they held their first review conference, approving 7 applications that had completed the preliminary review. The application categories include: Smart Factories (2 cases from Inventec Corporation), Rural Smart Education (Hsin Yeong An Cable TV Co., LTD.), Smart Exhibition (Kaohsiung Exhibition Center), 5G Application Integration Test Lab (Institute for Information Industry), 5G Technology Verification Network Setup (Industrial Technology Research Institute), and 5G Metaverse Professional Functional Training System (joint proposal by Overseas Chinese University of Science and Technology and Industrial Technology Research Institute). The moda will continue to provide more consultation and guidance resources to assist businesses to hold a license in Private 5G networks as soon as possible.In addition, through the "Innovative Application Diffusion Program for Private 5G Networks ," the moda selected 13 industry associations to form the 5G Vertical Industry Application Special Interest Group at the end of January this year. The covering areas include tourism, cultural exhibitions, daily life, and manufacturing. These associations have proposed a blueprint for Private 5G Networks application services. They are guiding industries to plan innovative Private 5G Networks applications based on this blueprint. On August 16th, the moda announced the selection of 33 benchmark cases, including manufacturing, cultural exhibitions , accommodation, warehousing, entertainment, food safety, etc., covering the northern, central, and southern regions. These cases will put Private 5G Networks innovative applications into operation and collaborate with industry associations to drive growth throughout the industry, promoting transformation and diffusion.In terms of disaster response and resilience, Minister Tang mentioned that the moda is planning a "Disaster Roaming" verification project to ensure that people can still use mobile communication networks in emergency situations. This allows domestic mobile communication operators to identify each other's customers, enabling people to access the networks of other operators even if their own service is disrupted, facilitating cross-network roaming for communication, getting real-time disaster information, and emergency shelter information.Minister Tang stated that the moda will also cooperate with the National Fire Agency of MOI to conduct a small-scale "Disaster Roaming" drill during the "National Disaster Prevention Day Large-scale Earthquake Disaster Mobilization Exercise" on September 21st. Additionally, on October 20th, they will collaborate with the National Fire Agency to verify the broadband network services dedicated to police, firefighters, and emergency medical services.Addressing the recent concerns about communication on Taiping Island, Minister Tang explained that the moda is promoting the proof of concept (PoC) of non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) communication. They will prioritize deploying NGSO communication equipment in outlying islands, remote areas, and regions without heterogeneous communication backup. Taiping Island is one of the priority deployment locations for this PoC case. The moda has planned to support relevant equipment as the backhaul for the Taiping Island base station, aiming to enhance the island's mobile communication bandwidth and capacity.The moda emphasizes that it will uphold the core concept of using digital tools to strengthen "National Digital Resilience." They will continue to plan national digital development strategies from the perspectives of social development, industrial transformation, emergency response, and actively promote various digital policies. <發布日期>2023-08-25T16:13:23 <更新日期>2023-09-06T21:33:40 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/blsd3b1r.z13.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/morqsao2.4vm.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/6305.html <標題>Ministry of Digital Affairs : Dialogue between the Journalism Industry and Large Digital Platforms for Co-prosperity Mechanism to Promote Consensus <網頁內容>According to the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda), what the United Daily News reported on August 24 that "There is no progress on the Media Bargaining Law," quoting unnamed industry sources as saying that "Google and Meta have clearly expressed that they will follow the law, but the point is the lack of relevant laws in Taiwan, and the moda has yet to activate it," and the related content, is obviously misunderstood.The moda elaborated on the progress of large cross-border digital platforms and journalism co-prosperity mechanism that the community is concerned about. With the effort of the inter-ministerial group led by the Executive Yuan, the dialogue platform led by the moda has held two rounds of a total of six dialogues. During this time, Google has provided a co-prosperity fund of NT $ 300 million for three year. The application method has also been informed to the journalism industry. The moda, the Ministry of Culture, and the National Communication Commission are expected to initiate the third round of dialogue at the end of this month to seek more consensus among all parties, hoping that the co-prosperity mechanism can continue to move forward.The moda pointed out that the advancement of legislation requires the submission of a draft, which involves the legislative route and mechanism, and is in urgent need of social consensus. People seriously concerned about this issue would notice that there are divergent views yet to be aligned. The views are expressed by the press through editorials and public associations, or by relevant academics in press conferences, as well as questions raised by legislators concerned with this issue on whether we should adopt the Australian model of bargaining, the fund model (including whether or not to levy a digital tax, etc.), or the EU model of neighboring copyrights.As for "large digital platforms are willing to comply with the law," mentioned by the report, the moda said that it is worthwhile for the community to consider and discuss whether the so-called compliance with the law can actually bring more resources to the news media. Take the Czech Republic, an EU country, as an example, which encountered challenges after amending the Copyright Act earlier this year. Google believed that the amendment would lead to legal risks for its services in the Czech Republic, and therefore temporarily suspended Google News-related services, including Editor's Pick and Showcase, under the premise of complying with the Czech law.Another example is the Online News Act, Canada's new legislation. As it came into effect on August 1, Google and Meta announced that they would suspend Canadian users from accessing news content through their services "due to compliance with the law." Google removed links to Canadian news, with Meta following suit on the same day. Therefore, it is important to build social consensus through several rounds of dialogues, and to find a mechanism and direction that is suitable for the co-prosperity of Taiwan's journalism industry and large-scale digital platforms, which involves the process of whether and how to legislate. <發布日期>2023-08-24T12:09:07 <更新日期>2023-08-29T15:53:34 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/6243.html <標題>Ministry of Digital Affairs and Acer Provide Digital Education Resources to Poltava, Benefiting 2,000-plus Teachers and Students in Ukraine <網頁內容>A Taiwan Can Help Free the Future digital upskilling partnership was delivered Aug. 17 in Poltava, central Ukraine, by the Ministry of Digital Affairs and computer multinational Acer Inc.Comprising three schools, the partnership involves the provision of laptops, smart interactive teaching devices, and science, technology, engineering and math-based robot kits. The first, featuring the moda, Acer and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was implemented earlier this year at Lyceum Grono in the Western Ukrainian city of Lviv.The partnership is expected to benefit more than 2,000 teachers and students in Poltava. According to the moda, Taiwan is on the front line in resisting authoritarian expansionism and stands with Ukraine in defending shared values such as freedom, democracy and human rights.Digital Minister Audrey Tang said: “Science and technology can build better tomorrows for all, and political factors must not stand in the way of borderless collaboration.”During a visit to Lithuania in January, Tang announced the moda’s participation in a school and kindergarten reconstruction program for Ukraine overseen by Lithuania’s Ministry of the Economy and Innovation.The partnership ceremony was held Aug. 17 in Poltava. School officials sincerely thanked Taiwan for assisting in the creation of a digital learning environment providing educational opportunities for young students, as well as bridging the gap in educational resources.According to the moda, the partnership is based on humanitarian considerations and further demonstrates the success of the “Taiwan Can Help Free the Future” philosophy.The partnership ceremony generated large-scale media attention in Ukraine. It was attended by VIPs such as members of the Ukrainian parliament Mykola Kniazhytskyi and Oleksandr Merezhko; Poltava Oblast Chairperson Oleksander Bilenky; Poltava City Deputy Mayors Valeriy Parkhomenko and Ihor Petrichenko; and Metropolitan Fedir of Poltava and Kremenchuk.Participants and representatives of event organizers and nongovernmental organizations Alliance of Development, All-Ukrainian Democratic Forum and Nova Poltava expressed heartfelt thanks for Taiwan’s backing and unwavering belief in Ukraine’s ability to overcome all challenges. <發布日期>2023-08-18T13:56:24 <更新日期>2023-08-22T20:19:23 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/cp0lwfc0.wyv.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/fv55kjad.fcv.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/6237.html <標題>Ministry of Digital Affairs Takes The Lead In Implementing Website Resilience Enhancement Technology and Cloud-Native Architecture, Practicing Nationwide Digital Resilience <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) announced the implementation of "Website Resilience Enhancement Technology" and "Cloud-Native Architecture" as demonstration cases today (August 18). The purpose is to effectively respond to foreign cyberattacks and enhance website stability and digital service quality. The moda will share relevant experience with other government agencies and continuously promote public-private collaboration to achieve the core concept of enhancing "National Digital Resilience" through the application of digital tools.The moda pointed out that the official website of the ministry (moda.gov.tw) is the first government website in the country to integrate two major technologies, namely, full-site static rendering and InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), to enhance digital resilience.Static rendering refers to the display of each page without the need for additional computation by the website server. This technology can be easily combined with other techniques to counter Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, reduce server load, and mitigate the impact on the website when the database encounters errors. In addition, the moda also adopts the "InterPlanetary File System" architecture, utilizing a web3 decentralized approach to distribute the "statically rendered" web data to IPFS nodes around the world. In the event of the main website becoming inaccessible, browsers with IPFS functionality can still retrieve web pages from other nodes, effectively avoiding service interruptions.Furthermore, the "Government Data Standards Platform (schema.gov.tw)" managed by the moda and the internal "Electronic Form System" have both adopted a "Cloud-Native" architecture. This means that system development and operation prioritize a cloud-centric approach, effectively increasing system fault tolerance and stability.Cloud-Native architecture refers to packaging service components into lightweight "containers" that consume fewer computer resources at runtime, allowing for rapid deployment and operation on public clouds. In cases of sudden spikes in information system usage, cloud resources can be quickly scaled to avoid service interruptions. The moda's "Government Open Data Platform (data.gov.tw)" and "Digital Communications Resource Management System" will also gradually adopt this approach.The moda emphasizes that the frontend programs and architecture of the official website are licensed under CC0, providing the public with the freedom to reference and use. Collaborating with partner companies, the department aims to enhance digital resilience across various sectors. The moda continues to share its achievements in building and implementing website resilience with other ministries and agencies. It provides concrete examples, experience sharing, environmental planning recommendations, technical guidance, educational training, and consulting services to assist other institutions. This includes the National Communications Commission and the upcoming Ministry of Environment and Resources, both of which will also introduce relevant technologies with the assistance of the moda. <發布日期>2023-08-18T15:37:37 <更新日期>2023-08-24T14:29:39 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/6173.html <標題>The moda Participated in the TWCERT/CC Enterprise Cybersecurity Exercise to Help Enterprises Strengthen Their Security Awareness and Protection Capability <網頁內容>The Taiwan Computer Network Crisis Response and Coordination Center (TWCERT/CC) held its first enterprise information security exercise today (August 10th). Minister Audrey Tang teamed up with colleagues from the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) and the National Institute ofCyber Security (NICS) to participate in the exercise and to practice hacking and defense with 10 private enterprise cybersecurity teams. Through practical actions, it conveyed the importance of cybersecurity protection to enterprises and demonstrated the support and commitment of senior management to information security protection, which is the cornerstone of ensuring the security of corporate information.In order to enhance the ability of enterprises to detect and respond to hackers in an instant manner, and to build a strong cybersecurity joint defense fortress in Taiwan, the Ministry of Information Technology (MIT) instructed the TWCERT/CC to plan and organize Cyber Drill based on the experience of participating in the Asia Pacific Computer Emergency Response Team (APCERT) in the past years, the moda said.It was the first time that the TWCERT/CC organized the "Cyber Drill 2023". The TWCERT/CC invited five high-tech companies, including ASE, Delta Electronics, Zyxel Communications, ASUS, and WNC, as well as the five major telecommunications companies, including Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile, Far EasTone, Taiwan Star, and Asia Pacific Telecom, to participate in the exercise. It simulated hackers' infiltration through social engineering, and the teams were required to utilize the limited information provided during the event to detect the traces of the hackers, conduct contingency management and block the hacker attacks to ensure the continuous operation of their information and communications systems. Minister Tang also participated in the event with a team of colleagues from the moda and the NICS, and exchanged views with the teams of private enterprises.Through this event, the moda hopes that the teams could gain experience in security attacks and defenses, and be more confident when facing the ever-changing security threats. It is not effective to deal with cybersecurity incidents through partnerless cybersecurity protection. In order to encourage enterprises to participate in cybersecurity exercises, TWCERT / CC is expected to hold another cybersecurity exercise in the fourth quarter. Interested enterprises are welcome to register as soon as possible, the moda said.The moda pointed out that due to geographic and political factors, cybersecurity issues are of utmost importance to national security in Taiwan. Based on the national policy of "information security is national security", the moda has been actively promoting the introduction of Zero Trust Architecture and the Cross-Authority Data Transmission Specialized Channel (T-Road) in the public sector since its establishment last year. Also, the moda has been counseling Critical Infrastructure (CI) providers to strengthen the resilience and the capability of cybersecurity in accordance with the Information and Communications Security Management Act (ICMA).In order to assist private enterprises other than those regulated by the ICMA to enhance their cybersecurity protection capacity, the moda has continuously subsidized the Taiwan Network Information Center (TWNIC) through its science and technology program funding to operate the TWCERT/CC. The TWCERT/CC serves as Taiwan's point of contact for international cybersecurity organizations, integrates the resources of both domestic and foreign cybersecurity organizations, raises private enterprises’ awareness of cybersecurity, and enhances their capacity. It also provides enterprises with free and first-hand information on domestic and foreign cybersecurity. If a cybersecurity incident occurs, the enterprise can notify the TWCERT/CC, consult with it for free, and ask for assistance. <發布日期>2023-08-10T15:45:15 <更新日期>2023-10-19T13:58:03 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/axv433md.zhl.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/nxayug0c.u52.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/qrufbvfe.lt2.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/5897.html <標題>Minister Audrey Tang Met with AFET Committee MEPs to Have Further Discussion on Cyber Security <網頁內容>Minister Audrey Tang of the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) met with a delegation from the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs (AFET) Committee on 27 July. Both sides engaged in extensive discussions on issues such as cyber security cooperation and digital resilience, looking forward to fostering more collaboration in the field of digital between Taiwan and Europe.Minister Tang explained that Taiwan is a vital partner in the global democratic camp, standing at the frontline of democratic countries facing challenges from authoritarian regimes. It is one of the top regions internationally in terms of cybersecurity attacks and defense, facing constant threats from foreign cyberattacks. Cyber security has become an ongoing test in daily life.

As a member of the “Alignment Assemblies” project, the moda’s goals on a global and public level are to assist Taiwan in building consensus among the public regarding the needs and risks associated with AI, and collectively address the “Alignment Problem” of AI. Starting in July this year (2023), the moda plans to shape the direction of AI development through Ideathons, using Taiwan as a demonstration field and employing a model of citizen participation and deliberation.The moda emphasized that the CIP is an international non-governmental organization advocating technology that encompasses social development, industrial progress, and public trust. It believes that the development of AI should prioritize ethics and public interest. The CIP’s partners also include OpenAI (the creator of ChatGPT), The GovLab at Northeastern University, Anthropic (an AI company), and GETTING-Plurality (a research think tank on plurality).During the Democratic Summit in March this year, the moda, led by Minister Audrey Tang, initiated this project in collaboration with the CIP to build a global consensus among people around the world and ensure the alignment of AI with human values. By joining this project, the moda aims to promote digital democracy and global partnerships while fostering a diverse and inclusive digital culture for Taiwan’s AI development.The moda stated that in July this year, it will launch the “Democratizing AI Futures” dialogue through Ideathons and invite public participation. Moreover, in August, it will organize deliberative workshops to discuss how to respond to the development of generative AI.Minister Tang explained that AI has brought profound social changes, and issues such as algorithms, intellectual property, technological ethics, public services, and social impact have attracted considerable attention, posing new challenges for democratic governance. In response to the social concerns arising from the generative AI trend, the Executive Yuan is actively working on the draft of the “Basic Law on Artificial Intelligence.” The moda also expects that through the early demonstration of the CIP, important information can be provided to policymakers and technology developers to ensure the alignment of AI development with the public interest.The CIP was jointly launched in August 2022 by Divya Siddarth, a former social scientist from the Office of the Chief Technology Officer at Microsoft, and Saffron Huang, a former research engineer at Google DeepMind. Its operational goal is to “empower everyone to influence the direction of AI development,” and its mission is to enable meaningful participation by the general public in shaping the development of transformative technologies such as AI.Reference:https://cip.org/alignmentassemblies <發布日期>2023-05-27T11:29:39 <更新日期>2023-05-31T10:26:07 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/5147.html <標題>Minister Tang, former British PM Truss urge deeper Taiwan-UK ties, digital resilience cooperation <網頁內容>Minister Audrey Tang and former British Prime Minister Liz Truss urged deeper Taiwan-U.K. ties and digital resilience cooperation during a meeting at Ministry of Digital Affairs’ headquarters May 19 in Taipei City.Cyber warfare is the new battlefield as evidenced by Russia’s brutal war of aggression against Ukraine, Tang said. The use of emerging technologies by authoritarian regimes to consolidate power and manipulate the internet to control digital communities, as well as artificial intelligence-created deepfake audio and images , makes information security a matter of great international concern, she added.According to Tang, information security is national security.

Minister Tang hopes that AI can be used as "assistive intelligence" to complement the "collective intelligence" of human beings, creating an infinite future of diversity and inclusion.Minister Tang said that the second annual Ideathon will continue the spirit of "WeWe Futures" and incorporate the creativity and aspirations of all people. The Ministry of Digital Affairs will assist the public to submit their contributions through interactive guidance, and introduce AI cohesion issues through pol.is technology. <發布日期>2023-04-22T11:52:19 <更新日期>2025-07-09T09:22:52 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/efxbao3g.beh.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/dry02xw5.dob.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/4477.html <標題>Minister Audrey Tang Met With AIT Chair, Ms. Rosenberger, Expecting Mutual Support to Deepen Democracy <網頁內容>Minister Audrey Tang met with AIT Chairperson Laura Rosenberger yesterday(19th) to discuss how to deepen democratic governance and enhance the digital resilience of the entire population, and to look forward to more opportunities for cooperation. The meeting shows an opportunity for mutual support to deepen democracy.During the meeting, Minister Tang cited the destruction of submarine cables in the Matsu region as an example to illustrate the importance of resilient construction. The Ministry is promoting programs such as non-synchronous orbital satellites and disaster roaming to ensure smooth communications during emergencies, and will continue to refer to U.S. information security standards such as the CMMC to develop related programs and regulations.Minister Tang also said that Taiwan and the United States are both democratic and free countries, and both attach equal importance to pluralism and freedom of speech. The power of the civil society can prevent the polarization of speech on public issues, for example, the public can monitor the community platform on their own initiative, and before the general election or referendum, they cannot accept advertisements involving political or social issues published by foreign forces.Minister Tang also expressed her firm position on behalf of Taiwan's participation in the signing of the Declaration on the Future of the Internet and thanked the U.S. for inviting her back earlier this year to deliver an opening address at the second Summit for Democracy, hoping that both sides will continue to build on the foundation of past cooperation to help each other and deepen democracy. <發布日期>2023-04-20T16:29:20 <更新日期>2023-04-21T08:42:17 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/umld5r2v.g5e.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/4433.html <標題>Minister Tang met with the delegation of the French National Assembly, hoping to promote digital cooperation and exchange between both sides <網頁內容>Minister of the moda Audrey Tang received a delegation led by Eric Bothorel, President of the Taiwan Friendship Group of the French National Assembly this afternoon(17th) to exchange views on interference and deepening cooperation between Taiwan and France on specific issues in the digital field.Minister Tang said that since the establishment of moda in August last year, Taiwan has felt the concern of European and American countries on the issue of digital interference from foreign countries. On April 12 this year, she was invited to attend the hearing of the Investigative Committee on Foreign Interference of the French National Assembly to share Taiwan's experience in countering digital interference through digital resilience.Minister Tang said she agreed with French proposition that Taiwan and France should continue to exchange and cooperate in digital-related fields, such as the digital transformation of the government, cyber security and information resilience, and that both sides should continue to interact on a regular basis at the level of affairs; she hoped to start with the mutual recognition of electronic signatures to promote the interoperability of the digital infrastructure of both sides and to enhance the efficiency of public affairs, business and civil exchanges.Minister Tang pointed out that in April 2022, Taiwan and France with other 60 partner countries signed the “ A Declaration for the Future of the Internet”, which mentions mutual cooperation based on values and the commitment of countries with similar philosophies to make the Internet a resilient infrastructure for the protection of human rights, freedom and mutual trust. It is hoped that under this spirit, we will work together to promote the development and cooperation in the field of "Data Altruism".During the meeting, Mr. Bothorel expressed his affirmation of the concept of Public Code promoted by moda, and supported the idea that all democratic countries should participate and work together for joint defense, so that Taiwan should not be left alone.In addition to the delegation led by President Bothorel, the delegation also included Mireille Clapot, Vice President of the Foreign Affairs Committee and Friendship Group, Michel Herbillon, Vice President of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and Constance Le Grip, member of the French National Assembly. <發布日期>2023-04-17T18:41:22 <更新日期>2023-04-19T15:58:52 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/54ev1q1f.c0b.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/ombihizl.ofb.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/4395.html <標題>Minister of Digital Affairs Ms. Audrey Tang was Invited to the French National Assembly for a Hearing to Share Taiwan’s Experience in Digital Resilience against Foreign Interference <網頁內容>The Minister of Digital Affairs, Ms. Audrey Tang, was invited to the Investigative Committee on Foreign Interference of the French National Assembly today (12th) for an online video hearing to share Taiwan’s experience in combating foreign digital interference through digital resilience. Minister Tang said that Taiwan is a member of the international community and is one of the top international hotspots for information security attacks that seek to undermine public trust in the democratic system, and that the situation in Taiwan is not an isolated case, nor is it unrelated to Europe. The world has witnessed the significant impact of cyberwarfare, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine being an explicit example.The hearing will be held at around 8:00 p.m. Taipei time this evening and will last for more than an hour. The entire hearing will be webcast live, with a 10-minute presentation by Minister Tang followed by questions from the Assembly’s president and legislators. The content of the hearing will be available to the public on the official website of the French National Assembly.During the hearing, Minister Tang said that Taiwan is an important partner in global digital democracy, and is at the front line of the democratic camp facing the expansion of the authoritarian system, confronting the threat of numerous cyberattacks from abroad. For example, the number of hackers’ attacks against Taiwan’s government through information security loopholes increased by nearly two times in 2022 compared to 2021; moreover, when then-US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan in 2022, Taiwan was subjected to 23 times the usual number of overseas cyberattacks, and electronic signage was altered by hackers to hate messages. These cyberattacks attempted to undermine public trust in the democratic system but were unsuccessful.Minister Tang pointed out that the situation in Taiwan is not an isolated incident, nor is it unrelated to Europe. The world has seen the growing impact of cyberwarfare, and a notable example was Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Taiwan, as a member of the democratic camp, empathizes with those threatened by authoritarian expansionism and did not hesitate to lend a helping hand to Ukraine, and France, as an important country in Europe and the democratic camp, believes that the attitude displayed is an important signal to the world.Minister Tang said that totalitarian regimes use technology to consolidate power and redefine online norms, manipulating the Internet to control and polarize digital communities. Taiwan has established the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) with the core goal of achieving “digital resilience for all” as a response. The moda organizes the information security resources of public sectors and non-governmental organizations and carries out offensive and defensive drills, in order to ensure the effective operation of critical infrastructure in emergencies. In addition, the moda promotes a zero-trust mechanism of “never trust, always verify,” the adoption of the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) for official networks and the joint defense of the global community, and the verification of the feasibility of using non-synchronous orbital satellites for emergency backup communication networks, all with the aim of enhancing Taiwan’s digital resilience and strengthening its links with its democratic partners.Minister Tang called on all sectors to join Taiwan in its pursuit of digital resilience and to demonstrate the resilience of democracy to the world. Last April, on behalf of Taiwan, she signed A Declaration for the Future of the Internet with representatives of more than 60 countries, including France, which refers to value-based cooperation among countries with similar philosophies and a shared commitment to make the Internet a resilient construction that protects human rights, freedom, and mutual trust.During the hearing, the French legislators were concerned about how Taiwan would respond to the concentration of power that might result from the rapid development of generative AI, and Minister Tang explained that our country has worked closely with the international open-source community and is therefore able to respond quickly to emerging changes in technology. For example, the French government has invested in training the open-source language model BLOOM, which has become the basis for the development of related technologies in Taiwan, and shows the importance of public code when democratic camps cooperate to face challenges.Furthermore, the French legislators were also concerned about how Taiwan could respond to the problem of totalitarian camps taking advantage of the freedom of speech in democratic countries to create dissent and divisions through the algorithms of cross-border digital platforms before same-sex marriage is legalized. Minister Tang pointed out that these foreign forces are not simply “anti-homosexual” or “pro-homosexual” but take the opportunity to amplify confrontation and polarize social speech. Taiwan’s civil society has therefore requested that social media platforms such as Facebook do not accept advertisements involving political and social issues from foreign forces before general elections or referendums, and that the source of funding for such advertisements in Taiwan be disclosed in order to avoid manipulation of speech and intensification of confrontation by those with an axe to grind.On December 6th, 2022, the French National Assembly approved the establishment of the Investigative Committee on Foreign Interference to investigate political, economic, and financial attempts by foreign governments, organizations, businesses, interest groups, and individuals to influence or bribe French opinion leaders, leadership, or political parties. Jean-Philippe Tanguy, a member of the National Assembly of the Union Nationale caucus, is the chairman of the investigative committee, and Constance Le Grip, a member of the Renaissance caucus, is the rapporteur. <發布日期>2023-04-12T13:53:39 <更新日期>2023-06-01T18:42:41 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/g4aafm2e.frm.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/4297.html <標題>Deputy Minister of the moda, Herming Chiueh Attended The Sydney Dialogue to Discuss Digital Resilience Issues <網頁內容>The moda’s Deputy Minister Herming Chiueh visited Sydney, Australia, and attended The Sydney Dialogue on April 5 to share Taiwan's experience on the impact of IT development on the market mechanism and the spirit of democracy, as well as how to strengthen digital resilience in the face of increasing cyber security threats.According to the moda, Deputy Minister Chiueh attended the Sydney Dialogue on the 4th and 5th, accompanied by Ambassador Yii-Lih Charng in Australia. The dialogue kicked off with an opening speech by Australian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Richard Marles, and was attended by more than 10 countries, including the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Korea, Japan, Singapore and Taiwan.During the conference, Deputy Minister Chiueh pointed out that Taiwan has continued to refine its information security measures, such as the adoption of Zero-trust architecture (ZTA), the government data transmission platform (T-road), the Interplanetary File System (IPFS), etc., to enhance the cyber security architecture of government agencies. At the same time, the government is committed to strengthen the digital resilience of the public, cultivate the concept of media literacy, and improve the domestic news reporting environment so that people can receive accurate first-hand information more easily. In addition, the moda plans to carry out a non-synchronous orbital satellite project to incorporate satellite communications into the backup communications network to ensure that accurate and real-time information can be transmitted in the event of any unexpected situation.Taiwanese people are very receptive to new technologies and are also very mature in their awareness of human rights. Therefore, the government can work together to formulate Taiwan's digital policy through public-private exchanges, increasing digital literacy, and incorporating people's ideas at the early stages of policy formulation.According to the moda, the sharing of digital experiences and new knowledge across countries is an opportunity to showcase Taiwan's strengths and connect with international development and cross-border democratic alliances. During the trip, Deputy Minister Chiueh exchanged views with Australia and other countries, hoping that this will bring Taiwan and the international community closer in digital development and transformation. <發布日期>2023-04-05T15:43:49 <更新日期>2023-04-12T10:24:18 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/pbewio5m.ebh.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/4265.html <標題>Minister Audrey Tang Invited to Speak at Global Summit for Democracy to Advocate Digital Resilience for All <網頁內容>On March 30, 2023(EST; March 31 Taipei time), the moda’s Minister Audrey Tang was invited to deliver a pre-recorded video message to open the third session of the Summit for Democracy's U.S.-sponsored regional forum on Advancing Technology for Democracy. In her address, which was titled "Shaping Emerging Technologies to Ensure Respect for Human Rights and Democratic Principles," Minister Tang shared Taiwan's experience with democracy partners, including how to adapt the common challenges of a free and open society and how emerging technologies can strengthen human rights and democratic principles.In her remarks, Minister Tang said the world has changed dramatically since the first Democracy Summit in December 2021, with Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine shaking the world and Taiwan shining as the most reliable partner as democracy partners adapt to new realities and work to promote digital resilience. In 2022, she signed the Declaration on the Future of the Internet with 60 partner countries, reinforcing shared values and deepening commitment to democratic allies.Minister Tang noted that the moda is at the heart of this vision, with the central goal of achieving "Digital Resilience for All," which encompasses three dimensions: responsiveness, industrial resilience, and social resilience.Minister Tang explained that "resilience" enables effective responses to crises, including cyber-attacks and natural disasters. For example, the cyberattack on former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi during her historic visit to Taiwan last year was an unsuccessful attempt to undermine public trust in Taiwan's democratic system.In the face of emerging threats such as interactive deepfake, the moda has integrated the energy of all sectors, introduced the zero-trust principle, and incorporated emerging satellite operators into the multi-network backup communications to ensure that critical infrastructure can continue to operate as usual during emergencies. In addition, the ministry's website uses the emerging technology of the Interplanetary File System (IPFS), which allows everyone to contribute network bandwidth for backup."Industry Resilience" focuses on promoting the digital transformation of all industries and fostering a resilient industry ecosystem. Taiwan has a highly advanced IT industry, a world-class semiconductor supply chain, and extensive experience in dealing with network threats. Through global standards such as SEMI E187, the brand of "Made in Taiwan" has been elevated to a symbol of resilience and reliability, creating a solid shield for democracy partners."Social Resilience" combines the global democratic network to empower civil society. The moda, the Ministry of Culture, and the National Communications Commission formed an inter-ministerial group to initiate a dialogue on news co-prosperity, inviting representatives from several multinational platforms and Taiwan's news industry to explore ways of mutually beneficial cooperation.Minister Tang pointed out that accurate news reporting is the cornerstone of democracy, and that digital literacy requires knowledgeable and discerning citizens. In the face of the expansion of authoritarianism, the democratic camp must meet the destructive challenges in order to protect the balance between social welfare and individual freedom. We must embrace the trinity of "participation, progress, and security" to create a new situation through the power of mass wisdom.Minister Tang said that the overall vision of the moda is a "multiverse": to be present together, and to be connected by code. Once people from all over the world can establish a unique and common space for interaction, they can reveal their voices across the ideological divide and reveal common values at a glance. We call on our democracy partners to stand shoulder to shoulder with Taiwan in the pursuit of digital resilience and to demonstrate the resilience of democracy to the world.The second Democracy Summit was held from March 29 to 30, with the agenda on 30th held in a simultaneous off-site format by the United States and co-hosts from Costa Rica, the Netherlands, Korea, and Zambia. The first two sessions were opened by U.S. Secretary of State John Blinken and New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher John Hipkins, and were attended by Margrethe Vestager, Vice President of the European Commission; Alejandro N. Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security; Neal Mohan, CEO of YouTube; Marietje Schaake, Professor and Director of the Citizenship Lab at the University of Toronto; and other members of the government, industry, academic and research sectors. <發布日期>2023-03-31T18:37:04 <更新日期>2023-04-12T10:17:48 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/4273.html <標題>The Ministry of Digital Affairs Opens Applications for The 2nd Wave of Commercial Satellite Communication Frequencies <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital affairs (moda) said today that a new application was submitted by TASAT during the opening of the second wave of commercial satellite communications frequencies this March. According to the information submitted by the operator, TAS plans to use EUTELSAT to provide maritime satellite communication services.The moda pointed out that the international satellite industry is booming rapidly, and various innovative applications are constantly being developed. In the past, areas that were difficult to be reached by signals from the sea or the sky can now be connected to the Internet via satellite at any time for various applications such as business, entertainment, and emergency relief, etc. The moda is pleased to see more and more domestic operators providing related services.In addition, Lung Hwa Electronics Co. Ltd. and Aerkomm Taiwan Inc. are in the process of confirming the corrective information submitted by them and are expected to be reviewed and submitted to the moda for approval after the Tomb Sweeping holiday to complete the release process.The moda reminds that the application period for commercial satellite communication frequencies is in March and September every year, and operators wishing to provide satellite services can submit applications to the Ministry with the relevant application documents during the above-mentioned period. <發布日期>2023-03-31T13:49:47 <更新日期>2023-04-12T10:21:37 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/4179.html <標題>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda): The ATM Cash Withdrawal Locations for the Distribution of NT$6,000 are Available Online and Welcome Non-Governmental Social Networkers for Application <網頁內容>The moda announced today (29th) that the ATM cash withdrawal channels for the distribution of NT$6,000 will be launched on April 10th, and more than 26,000 ATMs from 15 financial institutions nationwide will be available for the public to withdraw cash 24 hours a day. The moda has made available the “Details of ATM Locations for the Distribution of Cash to Citizens” dataset (https://gov.tw/XEd) on the “Government Open Data,” from which citizens can learn the locations of ATMs and use the coordinates to display the locations on a map. The moda also welcomes non-governmental social networkers to use this open data to develop various maps to make it convenient for people who will use ATMs to withdraw the distributed cash of NT$6,000.The moda pointed out that during the COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan, the government released real-time inventory information on the name-based mask rationing system and rapid test kits. Private individuals took the initiative to create “mask maps” and “rapid test kit maps” that display nearby contracted pharmacies and real-time quantities of masks and rapid test kits on a map. This tool helps the public locate the distribution locations for pandemic prevention supplies. Now the moda has compiled information on ATM installation locations and made it available for download on the “Government Open Data.” The dataset has already been downloaded more than a hundred times since its launch, and the moda has already seen private companies such as LINE using the open data to develop related services (https://u.lin.ee/sLXd0AQ/czvn), allowing the public to use their location to find ATMs near them and withdraw the distributed cash. The moda looks forward to more value-added applications in the future.According to the moda, from April 10th to October 31st, people can bring their ATM card, their national ID card number or resident certificate uniform ID number, their national health insurance (NHI) card number, and that of the recipient under the age of 13 to one of more than 26,000 ATMs of 15 designated financial institutions (including Chunghwa Post). Then they can insert their ATM card into the ATM, and enter their ATM card password, then their national ID card number or resident certificate uniform ID number, and their NHI card number or that of the recipient under the age of 13. They will receive a cash payment of NT$6,000 upon successful transaction. The ATMs will also display a service identification sticker to facilitate identification for people to withdraw cash.The moda proclaimed that the ATM cash withdrawal channel is available 24 hours a day, so the public can withdraw cash without the need to queue for it. After withdrawing cash, the public should pay attention to how they keep the cash to avoid illegal incidents such as theft or robbery. The moda also once again reminded the public that the government will never notify them to receive the NT$6,000 cash through text messages or emails and that they should never give their national ID card, resident certificate, NHI card, or financial account information to strangers in order to prevent fraudulent withdrawals through identity theft and protect their own rights.The following 15 financial institutions will cooperate with the general distribution of cash: the Bank of Taiwan, Land Bank of Taiwan, Taiwan Cooperative Bank, First Commercial Bank, Hua Nan Bank, Chang Hwa Bank, Mega International Commercial Bank, Taiwan Business Bank, Cathay United Bank, Taishin International Bank, CTBC Bank, E.SUN Bank, Yuanta Commercial Bank, Bank SinoPac, and Chunghwa Post. <發布日期>2023-03-29T17:30:38 <更新日期>2023-06-01T17:59:36 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/fnstvbo5.0fc.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/4193.html <標題>Minister of Digital Affairs Audrey Tang Meets with Speaker of the Czech House of Representatives Markéta Pekarová Adamová, and Taiwan and the Czech Republic Join Forces to Deepen Democracy <網頁內容>The Minister of the moda Audrey Tang received a delegation of 30 representatives led by Speaker of the Czech House of Representatives Markéta Pekarová Adamová this morning (29th) to exchange views on digital resilience, cyber security, and public-private partnerships. Minister Tang hoped that Taiwan and the Czech Republic would work together in the international community to create more opportunities for cooperation and deepen democracy through citizen participation and digital empowerment.Minister Tang said that the visit of Speaker Adamová and her delegation to Taiwan not only laid the foundation for cooperation between Taiwan and the Czech Republic, but also showed the international community that Taiwan is not alone and that this sense of solidarity is crucial when countries work together to address common challenges.Minister Tang pointed out that Taiwan and the Czech Republic are partners who share the values of freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law, and that they fit into the moda’s core philosophy of promoting “digital resilience for all.” The shared vision of Taiwan and the Czech Republic for the future is fully reflected in the opening of the Czech Hub in Taiwan on Monday (27th), which is believed to be an important cornerstone of future interaction between Taiwan and the Czech Republic.Quoting the words of the late Czech President Václav Havel, Minister Tang expressed her hope that Taiwan and the Czech Republic will work together based on common values: “I feel that the dormant goodwill in people needs to be stirred. People need to hear that it makes sense to behave decently or to help others, to place common interests above their own, to respect the elementary rules of human coexistence.”In the meeting, Speaker Adamová noted that Taiwan is a vital ally of the Czech Republic, and that both sides share common values on important issues such as human rights, freedom of speech, and democracy, and hope to continue to exchange views and develop cooperation on issues such as information security and digital resilience in the future.The delegation visiting the moda was accompanied by David Steinke, representative of the Czech Economic and Cultural Office, and Liang-ruey Ke, representative of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, Prague, and consisted of 30 Czech government officials, representatives from all parties, and representatives from industry, academia, and research, including Marek Žení&scaron;ek, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Czech House of Representatives, Pavel Žáček, chairman of the Security Committee, Marek Benda, chairman of the Friendship Group, Representatives Marek Výborný, Ondřej Lochman, and Ivan Jáč, and Luká&scaron; Kintr, Director of the Internet and Information Security Agency. <發布日期>2023-03-29T14:53:10 <更新日期>2023-06-01T18:37:39 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/ebislmwq.csl.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/dkn1lp4a.pau.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/1fgnkc3v.tvi.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/4139.html <標題>Moda: The Data Transmission of the $6,000 Universal Cash Registration Is Strictly Encrypted and Deleted 1 Month Post End of Project <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) said today that recent rumors saying registration data of NT$6,000 program will be sold are all speculations and rumors. The registration system is designed and equipped with a strict data protection mechanism, whereby the personal information collected will be deleted 1 month after the end of the project (expected to be before the end of February 2024) and will not be retained.The moda explained that the information registered on the Internet will only be used for the purpose of data verification. The moda has designed a strict data protection mechanism, including encryption of the process of data transmission, mandatory authorization and traceable records for the use of data, and encrypted storage of data to ensure that the public's data is protected from leakage.In addition, the moda explained that the NT$6000 cash payment registration asks individuals to provide their ID card numbers and health insurance card numbers, which is not the first time health insurance card numbers are paired to help identify citizens. The 1922 vaccine appointment booking platform, the income tax returns system, and “Pandemic Subsidy and Relief for Families with Children” program all require ID card numbers and health insurance card numbers.The moda said that, just like the requirement to bring two documents to get a phone number, the two-identification number verification is to protect people's right and to prevent people from passing off as others and fraudulently claiming the money. The program system will refuse to register the information if the two ID numbers do not belong to the same person.The moda has condemned malicious rumors and again emphasized that the personal information received for this program will be strictly guarded and managed. Also, the personal information will be permanently deleted following the end of the project and not stored for any other purposes. <發布日期>2023-03-23T18:32:06 <更新日期>2023-03-25T10:15:35 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/tclthpqw.yzf.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/4087.html <標題>Minister Tang Meets with German Education Minister to Promote Innovation on Data Altruism <網頁內容>Audrey Tang, the Minster of the Ministry of Digital Affairs(moda) met with German Federal Minister of Education and Research, Bettina Stark-Watzinger today. The two discussed the future of digital cooperation between Germany and Taiwan and had discussions on issues such as innovation on data altruism and public awareness on cyber security, hoping to have more collaboration in the future.The moda also shared the current development of our international cooperation in the "Presidential Hackathon", "Innovations Benefit Society – Call for 100 Proposals", and "Taiwan Can Help: Free the Future". The discussion was very lively.In the evening, Minister Audrey Tang was invited to the opening ceremony of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF) Global Innovation Center, a German think tank, to congratulate FNF with a pre-recorded video and to share our country's experience in digital citizenship participation, hoping to ensure digital resilience with democratic partners through the Global Innovation Center. Minister Watzinger also attended the opening ceremony in the evening after visiting the moda.Minister Audrey Tang said that with the fluctuating international situation and the rise of digital authoritarianism, democracy is facing unprecedented challenges. It is an honor for Taiwan to welcome the FNF to establish the Global Innovation Center at this time. We look forward to exchanging democratic experiences between Taiwan and the FNF, and to work together for an innovative future.Minister Tang pointed out that Taiwan's democracy development is tied to the development of Internet. In the decade between the end of martial law in 1987 and the first direct presidential election in 1996, Taiwan's democracy grew along with the development of computer and the global information network.

The moda, as the authority in charge of the Electronic Signature Law, became a full member of the W3C in January this year and is committed to promoting the vision of “being present together through interoperability” and uniting the global democratic network to build an infrastructure of digital resilience for all.The “2023 UK-TW AI Ethics and Standard Workshop: Algorithmic Transparency and Trustworthy Virtual Entities” was held for the first time by the moda and the British Office Taipei at the Taipei Cultural and Creative Park, with Minister Tang and the representative from the British Office Taipei, John Dennis, delivering opening speeches. The workshop was held online with the participation of Caroline Copley, head of Digital Identity International Strategy and Legislation under the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, Ben Lyons and Liz Adams from the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation, and the Digital Catapult and Government Digital Service (GDS) team from the UK. In Taiwan, present at the venue were Wei-Chung Hwang, deputy general director of the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), and Ping Chen, co-founder of Pelith. This discussion holds significant importance as a landmark for the digital technology exchange between Taiwan and the UK.During the workshop, the UK Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation shared the UK’s approach to building a transparent and socially inclusive virtual world. The representative from the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology presented the UK’s digital identity strategy, and Taiwan’s ITRI shared the application of AI as privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs). We hope that this opportunity will deepen the technical exchange and collaboration between Taiwan and the UK, making Taiwan a key digital partner for the UK and allowing us to explore potential partners to work together and develop a reliable, transparent, and open digital infrastructure. <發布日期>2023-03-21T16:06:53 <更新日期>2023-06-01T17:49:57 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/4063.html <標題>Moda Announces Online Registration for NT$6,000 Universal Cash Payment Available to Holders of ID or Resident Certificate with One of Two Specific Last Digits <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda), together with the Ministry of Finance and the Financial Supervisory Commission, held a press conference today to announce the launch of the "Universal Cash Payment for All" website.

The ministry’s overarching W3C goal is to ensure those concerned about the development of internet technology in Taiwan can gain a head start in related industry development.The first specification for DIDs was released in July 2022 by the W3C. It is hoped current international discussions of web3 and multiverse technology development—the portable code interoperability service—can be gradually achieved across network platforms so as to offer users the opportunity to break away from the existing network fences of large cross-border platforms.In addition, through the validation standard based on individual necessities, individuals can choose the most suitable creative environment and fully exercise their data rights.As coordinator of Taiwan’s digital policies, one of the moda’s key tasks is to participate in the formulation of various network policies and standards through cooperation with multinational organizations. This includes establishing mechanisms for information flow and digital verification of next-generation network services in order to safeguard the interests of Taiwan in the digital network field.The W3C, also known as the W3C Consortium, was established in 1994 and is the primary international standards organization for the world web. Its purpose is to promote the development of interoperable technologies and to develop a common approach to standardizing global information web technologies. <發布日期>2023-01-05T17:09:52 <更新日期>2023-02-09T10:20:37 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/3060.html <標題>Minister of Digital Affairs Tang meets with UK Minister of State at the Department for International Trade Hands, discusses Taiwan’s promotion of digital transformation <網頁內容>On Nov. 9, Ministerof Digital Affairs Audrey Tang met with a delegation from the U.K. led by Greg Hands, minister of state for trade policy. They exchanged opinions on a variety of topics such as cybersecurity, promotion of digital transformation and strengthening digital resilience. Tang said Taiwan’s promotion of digital transformation emphasizes the importance of global cooperation and civic engagement in boosting the development of government digital services. “The country is also working with U.K. partners to promote public code and continuing to seek mutual authentication mechanisms in the field of web3.” In terms of strengthening digital resilience, Tang said ensuring Internet services remain uninterrupted in the face of all challenges is a top priority of the Ministry of Digital Affairs. “As such , Taiwan will conduct a proof of concept (POC)with a non-geostationary satellite.” According to Tang, Taiwan also plans to install more than 700 receiving stations to safeguard continuous communications if landlines or submarine cables are severed. “This guarantees the normal functioning of democratic mechanisms, and Taiwan is willing and able to cooperate with like-minded partners to this effect.” she said. Given the increasing risk of cyberattacks, Tang said, Taiwan embraces Zero Trust Architecture based on the concept of continued verification and never trust. A central plank in this approach involves promoting three verification processes for related information equipment: identity authentication, equipment authentication and trust inference, Tang said. “The overarching goal is to enhance Taiwan’s cybersecurity and protection capabilities.” Tang said as a responsible member of the international community and force for good in the world, Taiwan seeks collaboration with democratic partners to establish a cybersecurity defensive line. “At the same time, the country is prepared to work with members of the global information services industry to promote government services cloud architecture, she said, adding that this will assist in preserving data storage and operations security during emergency situations.”Hands and the U.K. delegation visited the moda Nov. 9 during a three-day trip to Taiwan. Other members included Natalie Black, trade commissioner for Asia-Pacific, and John Dennis, representative of the British Office in Taipei. <發布日期>2022-11-10T19:36:46 <更新日期>2022-11-29T19:39:23 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/2983.html <標題>Minister of Digital Affairs Tang EU High-level Multi-stakeholder Event on the Future of the Internet, shares Taiwan’s common good innovation experience <網頁內容>On Nov. 2, Minister Audrey Tang attended a video conference with the EU ’s High-level Multi-stakeholder Event on the Future of the Internet.

For example, during COVID-19, civic groups and the government collaborated on researching and developing the 1922 SMS Contact Tracing System ,which issued timely notifications warning the people of potential health threats. It also used distributed storage architecture, an example of privacy-enhancing technology, to safeguard cybersecurity.During the conference, Tang elaborated on other advances such as the 2018 Presidential Hackathon, when government departments and private sector digital experts collaborated to present innovative solutions for sustainable development issues like disaster mitigation, relief work and climate action “Every year, five outstanding teams are selected and related government agencies implement their innovative solutions,” she said. Tang said one of the central tasks of the Ministry of Digital Affairs is promoting data altruism. This involves encouraging individuals or parties with information to sharenon-personal data as a way of boosting participatory policymaking and enhancing good digital governance.“Through national collaboration,” Tang said, “it is also possible to transform these measures into innovative applications needed to meet various societal needs.” The purpose of the conference is to explore ways of realizing the vision outlined in the U.S.-led Declaration for the Future of the Interne.t As such, the European Commission, European External Action Service and Czech Republic, which holds the presidency of the Council of the EU, invited stakeholderS from around the world to participate and share solutions in a physical or virtual format.Tang was also joined in the Ministerial Roundtable: Digital for the Common Good, which was chaired by Petr Ocko, deputy minister for digitalization and innovation at the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade. Other attendees included Roberto Viola, European Commission director-general of communication networks, content and technology; Peter Harrell, senior director for international economics and competitiveness on the U.S. National Security Council; Paul Ash, the New Zealand prime minister's special representative on cyber and digital; Jan Hjelle, Norwegian director-general, Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development, Department of National IT Policy and Public Governance; and Henri Verdier, French ambassador for digital affairs. Taiwan was one of more than 60 partners from around the world to sign the Declaration on the Future of the Internet. It paves the way for values-based cooperation, with countries sharing similar visions jointly undertaking to build the Internet into a resilient and trusted framework protecting human rights and personal freedoms. <發布日期>2022-11-03T19:34:48 <更新日期>2022-12-20T16:38:45 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/2993.html <標題>U.S. Federal Communications Commissioner Visits moda, Promotes Cyber Security Exchanges <網頁內容>On November 3, U.S. Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr visited the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) Minister Audrey Tang with a representative from the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT). Carr and Tang exchanged views on topics including digital resilience, cyber security, and supply chain security; they reached a preliminary consensus on deepening Taiwan–U.S. collaboration to improve cyber security in telecommunication networks.During their conversation, Tang said that cyber security-related issues are critical to Taiwan’s national security, due to the country’s geopolitical background. As Taiwan is facing constant cyber-attacks, moda continuously guides the eight fields of critical infrastructure (energy, water resources, telecommunications, transportation, banking and finance, emergency aid and hospitals, central and local governments, and high-tech parks), as well as private enterprises. It aims to enhance their cyber security defense capacities, in order to maintain the country’s normal operation and build a resilient, secure, and reliable “smart country.”Tang added that Taiwan has also actively built the zero-trust architecture (ZTA) cyber security defense verification environment. Data access is thus “never trusted and is continually verified.”Under the ZTA, the three key technologies of identity authentication, equipment authentication, and trust extrapolation bypass the cyber security bottleneck presented by the traditional network model. The moda and its Administration for Digital Industries and Administration for Cyber Security have begun implementing the ZTA in different phases, and will actively work with and introduce it to other agencies.Carr also raised the issue of cross-border data transfer, to which Tang responded by highlighting moda’s current implementation of “local cloud” for government services. The service ensures that data is saved and managed by trustworthy operators at local data centers, and utilizes privacy protection technology. It also works with partners of the Declaration for the Future of the Internet (DFI), to safeguard human rights as a core value while promoting public welfare and innovation.Additionally, Carr showed high concern regarding the resilience of international communication networks. He said that Taiwan and the U.S. are mutually reliable partners in terms of both economic and national security cooperation, and that he looked forward to the two countries’ close collaboration on deepening cyber security in communication networks. <發布日期>2022-11-03T18:42:47 <更新日期>2023-06-01T18:46:25 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/vfy1lrgv.gdv.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/2981.html <標題>Minister Tang dialogues with the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC delegation, shares Taiwan’s experiences in combating COVID-19 <網頁內容>On Nov. 1, Minister of Digital Affairs Audrey Tang dialogued with a delegation of lawmakers from the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China. They discussed a variety of issues such as measures taken by Taiwan to address cybersecurity threats, the country’s experiences in promoting Data Altruism, and use of digital tools by the government and civic groups in combating COVID-19.The IPAC delegation, concerned about international information security threats facing the democratic world, asked Tang to elaborate on Taiwan’s efforts in strengthening cybersecurity through democratic Internet digital applications and promoting good digital governance.According to Tang, following U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s historic visit to Taiwan in August, the country faced unprecedented distributed denial-of-service attacks. “These extended to disseminating hateful messages via electronic signage outside train stations and convenience stores,” Tang said. “Taiwan responded in a timely fashion and no great harm was done.”.Such incidents serve to highlight the importance of digital resilience in a democratic society. “This is why Taiwan is strengthening its cybersecurity through participation in international initiatives like the the U.S.-led Declaration for the Future of the Internet, Tang said. “In guaranteeing the openness and transparency of information exchanges, we are assisting other members of the free world and enhancing our ability to respond to threats in a cohesive and unified manner.” Tang said the moda is advancing Data Altruism via the widespread sharing of nonpersonal data to facilitate participatory policymaking, promote good digital governance, and harness the power of co-creation and innovation in meeting societal needs.A standout example of this signature approach is the coronavirus-combating face mask map of 2020 involving public-private sector collabration and open data . Another is the development of digital infrastructure using zero trust architecture based on technologylike Fast Identity Online, or FIDO, a method for integrating multiple sets of passwords spanning apps and websites into fast and secure logins.The delegation also acknowledged Taiwan’s success in employing digital development to build a Taiwan Model of democratic resilience, a desire to deepen cooperation with the country in areas of overlapping interests.IPAC is an international group of lawmakers made up of senior politicians drawn from a representative cross-section of the world’s major parties. The 12-member delegation, in country Nov. 1 to 4, was led by IPAC co-chair Reinhard Butikofer– of the European Parliament’s Delegation for Relations with the PRC. It was the first time for an IPAC delegation to officially visit Taiwan. <發布日期>2022-11-02T19:39:55 <更新日期>2022-11-29T19:42:24 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/2812.html <標題>Taiwan to Build a Reliable Supply Chain for Allies: Digital Minister at WMD <網頁內容>On October 27, the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) Minister Audrey Tang gave a pre-recorded speech at the 11th Global Assembly of the World Movement for Democracy (WMD). She explained how Taiwan is reinforcing and implementing democracy through digital innovation and a public partnership, and is showing the world an attainable and sustainable model of digital democracy. She added that Taiwan’s current priority is to build a reliable supply chain that will help its democratic partners to jointly address cyber security issues such as cyber-attacks.In her speech, Tang gave examples of Taiwan’s reinforcement and implementation of democracy through digital innovation and public partnership. These included designating participation officers and providing the “Join” platform to expand society’s participation in the government’s policy-making process; encouraging civil groups to participate and collaborate in the Presidential Hackathon to produce innovative social issue solutions; and developing anti-pandemic measures such as the “face mask map” and 1922 SMS Contact Tracing System during the COVID-19 outbreak. Taiwan has thus demonstrated to the world an attainable and sustainable mode of digital democracy.Tang added that Taiwan’s moda, established in August, is dedicated to realizing its core principle of “national digital resilience” by utilizing digital tools to support the country through situations such as the pandemic and natural disasters. Furthermore, it aims to help Taiwan recover from such events, and learn from them to become fundamentally stronger.For example, when U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan in August, Taiwan was enduring intense cyber-attacks from overseas, and many digital monitors at public locations were hacked, showing hateful messages. The moda immediately revised relevant regulations to enhance cyber security.Additionally, Tang said that Taiwan’s advanced information technology industry, including the semiconductor sector, has excellent cyber security capabilities, which can help the country’s democratic partners deal with issues such as cyber-attacks. Therefore, Taiwan’s top mission is to build a reliable supply chain, to redefine “Made in Taiwan” as an assurance of trust as well as quality.The 11th WMD Global Assembly was held from October 25 to 27 in Taipei, by the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy (TFD) and U.S. National Endowment for Democracy; it attracted over 200 attendees from over 70 countries. President Tsai Ing-wen gave welcome remarks during the October 25 opening ceremony, which was attended by honored guests including the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Maria Ressa; Legislative Yuan President and TFD Chair, You Si-kun; and Taiwan Youth Association for Democracy Chair, Chang Yu-meng. <發布日期>2022-10-27T18:48:28 <更新日期>2023-06-01T18:51:39 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/2780.html <標題>Taiwan’s moda Begins Offering an Official URL-shortening Service to the Public <網頁內容>A URL-shortening service offered by the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) is now available for a test run; it allows government agencies to transform long, hard-to-remember web addresses into concise URLs that aid the distribution of public information. Short URLs also help the public to identify government websites, and they reduce the risk of linking to scam or phishing sites.According to moda, when government agencies try to promote public information, excessively long URLs often impede public access. Although private URL-shortening services are already available, they take different forms and use different names, which makes it difficult for the public to identify whether short URLs link to government websites.Additionally, individuals with ulterior motives may take advantage of private URL-shortening services to hide illegal websites and scams, or obtain citizens’ personal information by pretending to be governmental websites.Chief Engineer Chen Chen-Yu (of the Soil and Water Conservation Bureau, Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan) suggested on social media that moda should develop a URL-shortening service for government use only. He wrote that when he saw short URLs generated by private services on official paperwork or messages, he found it “weird” and risky. The moda Minister Audrey Tang thought this was a great suggestion, and instructed the moda staff members to immediately begin developing such a service.The official URL-shortening service developed by the Department of Digital Service uses open-source code and free software. After shortening, all URLs begin with https://gov.tw/, which makes it easier for the public to identify and remember government agency websites.The official URL-shortening service is now being tested by moda and a few other government departments, and has received positive feedback. In particular, the Central Epidemic Command Center has been using short URLs for important anti-pandemic information, sending them to the public via the Centers for Disease Control app. During a single week between October 14 and 20, approximately 100 URLs were registered, and the shortening function was used approximately 170,000 times.The moda will gradually make the official URL-shortening service available to more government agencies, and will continue to make adjustments according to user feedback. Agencies that need the service may contact moda to obtain the source code of the short URL system, and can use it in fields including education and state-owned enterprises, to enhance service efficiency.When using the official-use-only URL-shortening service developed by moda, government staff members should enter the government website’s original URL and, after verifying their official email address, the URL will be shortened to one with three letters. The service also allows for reverse searching: after entering the last three letters of the short URL, the user can access the original URL’s information.The official URL-shortening service is a simple way for the public to identify government websites. Any URL beginning with https://gov.tw/ is a government-use-only short URL, equivalent to URLs ending in gov.tw; this also indicates that the websites are governmental and are safe for the public to access. <發布日期>2022-10-26T18:28:23 <更新日期>2023-06-01T18:37:24 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/vdmosizy.u4n.png <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/2772.html <標題>Commercial Satellite Communications Frequencies Open for Registration Starting November 8 <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) announced on October 25 that satellite fixed communications radio frequencies will be open for operators’ applications between November 8 and December 30. To ensure national security, services in Taiwan related to international satellites must meet relevant national security requirements.The moda expects that by allowing satellite services, more benefits and opportunities will open up in the future. These include stimulating the development of domestic industry chains, providing network service options in rural areas, having back-up mechanisms for emergency communication, and connecting with the world’s emerging technologies and innovative applications.During the second ministry meeting, the moda Minister Audrey Tang was briefed by the Department of Resource Management on “Opening telecommunication enterprises’ application for satellite fixed communications radio frequencies.” The meeting also agreed on matters including “Relevant information relating to telecommunication enterprises’ application for satellite fixed communications radio frequency allocation”; “Standards for frequency usage fees”; “Standards for telecommunication enterprises’ application for radio frequency allocation review fees”; and “Guidelines for the review of telecommunication enterprises’ application for satellite fixed communications radio frequencies.”According to the moda, opening up satellite frequencies is one of the Executive Yuan’s policies, as satellite communication has the advantage of large-scale coverage; it can therefore strengthen signal coverage at sea, on outlying islands, and in mountainous areas. It provides a back-up for public telecommunication networks and ensures that during emergency situations, Taiwan’s communication networks may still operate via geosynchronous or non-geosynchronous satellites, to enhance the resilience of telecommunication networks.Satellite communication is also a way of lowering the cost in order to popularize communication services, and for providing aircraft and vessel broadband services, thus making it easy for the public to access communication services.After meeting relevant requirements, operators intending to apply for satellite fixed communications radio frequencies may submit their applications starting on November 8. The moda will begin its revision process as soon as possible after the submission period closes on December 30.The moda plans to release frequency ranges of 10.7–12.7 GHz, 13.75–14.5 GHz, 17.7–20.2 GHz, and 27.5–30.0 GHz, for geosynchronous and non-geosynchronous satellite fixed communication use. Frequencies between 27.9 and 29.5 GHz will be shared with existing mobile broadband providers after negotiations.Enterprises may use these radio frequencies for up to two years, after which they may apply again for allocation.The frequencies, aside from being used for fixed Earth stations, may also be employed by Earth stations such as aircrafts and vessels. The frequencies are used according to International Telecommunication Union regulations.Meanwhile, according to the Executive Yuan-approved radio frequency provision plan, applicants for frequency use may not cause interference to existing stations, and non-geosynchronous satellites may not interfere with geosynchronous satellites. Non-geosynchronous satellite systems should share frequencies in a balanced and efficient manner.In terms of eligibility, according to the Telecommunications Management Act, applicants are limited to telecommunication enterprises with chairs who hold Taiwanese citizenship. The enterprises’ equity held directly by foreign shareholders must not exceed 49%, while direct and indirect shareholders may not hold more than 60% equity.Furthermore, the enterprises may not have any Chinese investors. They must meet the threshold of having a minimum paid-in capital of NT$300 million.There is no limit to how many enterprises may apply. Additionally, to ensure national security, cooperating satellite organizations must meet the national security requirements of relevant departments. <發布日期>2022-10-25T18:17:59 <更新日期>2023-06-01T18:41:13 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/2748.html <標題>Inaugural Ideathon Begins: Minister Audrey Tang Invites the Public to Jointly Imagine an Infinite Future <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) and the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ (MOEA) Industrial Development Bureau (IDB) jointly organized the inaugural “Ideathon” and called for submissions, inviting the public to jointly imagine their future life. The government hopes to receive the public’s innovative ideas, in order to realize the spirit of open government, and further influence policymaking and industrial development.On October 20, the moda Minister Audrey Tang attended the “Inaugural Ideathon Call for Submission Press Conference.” She said that while no one can accurately predict the future, what appears to be whimsical imagination may become part of our future life, just like in the classic film Back to the Future. The purpose of the Ideathon was to take a step toward the future through the public’s infinite imagination.The Ideathon offers several awards, including for participation; these take the form of limited edition non-fungible token (NFT) certificates to commemorate the event.Tang said it was particularly meaningful to hold the Ideathon press conference on October 20, because the following day happened to be “Back to the Future Day.” In Back to the Future 2, which was released in 1989, Marty the protagonist travels 30 years into the future in a DeLorean car, and his arrival date is October 21, 2015. The film’s presentation of life in 2015 was very fresh and interesting, said Tang, which makes this a classic example of imagining the future.According to Tang, Taiwan has seen abundant public collaboration results in the past few years. Examples include the Presidential Hackathon, which realized the good ideas of those in and outside Taiwan who aspired to enhance the government’s digital service. This event has now become a milestone for Taiwan’s public innovations.Inspired by the Presidential Hackathon, before establishing the Ideathon, the moda had been planning to expand the physical interpersonal network into a plurality of being “'Portable Code Interoperability” through the public’s joint innovation.Considering that 6G technology will mature by around 2040, by which time relevant applications will mold what future life looks like, and given that the future itself is a collection of everyone’s imagination, the inaugural Ideathon thus features a theme of “WeWe Futures: 2040 Plurality.” The event accepts submissions from both individuals and teams, and features immersive mixed-reality exhibitions and performances, which enable members of the public to personally participate and explore their expectations for 2040.Tang added that the Presidential Hackathon allows members of the public to express their wishes for government departments, and digital talents in the private sector, to propose solutions and execute them.For example, this year’s team of excellence, BRSDM@Er-Lin, Taiwan, was a collaboration between Erlin Township in Changhua County, and Chung Chou University of Science and Technology. The team used innovative agricultural technology to convert discarded straws into biochar.Meanwhile, the Ideathon welcomes the public’s joint imagination, and invites them to explore the future’s possibilities together. Even those without a digital technology background can freely imagine the future.There are no restrictions regarding submission formats. Submissions may be incidents in 2040 created by individuals, or futuristic concepts created by teams.In other words, the Ideathon is based on the Hackathon, and overcomes the previous limitations of achieving results through website applications or innovative technologies. It expands upon the Hackathon by including the public’s ideas on civil participation and action, in order to imagine what the world in the future might look like.The inaugural Ideathon is jointly organized by the moda and MOEA IDB, and is run by the Taiwan Design Research Institute. The theme “WeWe Futures: 2040 Plurality” seeks to apply the plural metaverse perspective, to discuss different generations’, regions’, and nationalities’ imagination and expectations for future life scenarios in 2040.Submissions are divided into the “Future News” and “Future Prototype” categories. The “Future News” category is open to individuals, and seeks creations of possible incidents or news reports that may take place in 2040; submissions can be in the form of images, text, or multimedia, with a deadline of November 4.The “Future Prototype” category is a team competition that encourages the development of physical products, shapeless service mechanisms, or life forms. Submissions are open between October 31 and November 25.For teams whose submissions have been nominated, interdisciplinary experts will serve as mentors; they will help them produce concept overviews with the support of augmented reality, virtual reality, or mixed reality technology. Projects that receive awards will additionally be transformed into animations or films by screenwriters and directors.The Ideathon will continue to expand outwards and collect creative ideas; it will deepen and refine works of futuristic imagination, so that examples may help the industry, academia, and research and development sectors to innovate cutting-edge technology even faster.Additionally, the moda may demonstrate positive uses for NFTs through the Ideathon. All participants in the event, as well as those who win awards, will receive limited edition NFT certificates from the moda.The Ideathon welcomes the public’s participation and joint effort in creating an infinite future, and submissions are not limited by nationality or age. Details can be found on the Ideathon’s website. <發布日期>2022-10-20T17:52:11 <更新日期>2023-06-01T18:12:33 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/g5jd3u2d.mpv.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/t3mevzln.ypq.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/e314xx5q.nid.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/v11hiq14.03k.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/csv3q5v2.45d.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/2640.html <標題>Digital Minister Wears a Symbol Supporting Ukraine During a Speech at the European Parliament <網頁內容>On September 30, the Minister of Digital Affairs, Audrey Tang, spoke via a video call at the European Parliament’s (EP) Special Committee on Foreign Interference in All Democratic Processes in the European Union, Including Disinformation(ING 2). Wearing a T-shirt featuring the Ukrainian symbol, Tang shared Taiwan’s experience of combating the COVID-19 pandemic with digital tools, and the lessons it has learned from Ukraine on the importance of keeping communications running smoothly in the face of misinformation. This concern has prompted Taiwan to conduct proof of concept for a non-geostationary orbit satellite.On September 30, Tang was invited to give a keynote speech about Taiwan’s digital anti-pandemic policies at the EP’s ING2. She also took questions from parliamentarians during the session, which lasted approximately one hour.Tang said in her speech that the pandemic has put enormous pressure on the democratic system. She explained that digital democracy is the most efficient solution to challenges such as the human rights dilemma of having to impose lockdowns for anti-pandemic and public health purposes.According to Tang, Taiwan is good at leveraging civil technological groups’ innovations; this was exemplified through the 1922 SMS Contact Tracing System, which balanced the public’s desire for privacy and the government’s need to track the spread of COVID. In the face of threats that come with misinformation, civil fact-checking collaboration groups such as “Cofacts” have also demonstrated to the world the possibilities enabled by the public’s collaborative efforts.She added that putting trust in citizens and allowing them to participate in the decision-making process helps to develop innovative solutions, and this is the principle that the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) upholds.During the Q and A session, members of the EP showed an interest in Tang’s T-shirt with a blue-and-yellow Ukrainian symbol. They also asked what Taiwan had learned from Ukraine’s experience, and how it was responding to threats from outside its borders.Tang answered that one of the most important lessons for Taiwan was to ensure the operation of video calls with the world; therefore, keeping the internet working as usual is vital. In the event of major incidents such as natural disasters or wars, the whole world needs access to first-hand news, and the ability to deliver accurate, up-to-date information and professionally-written news stories can help to combat misinformation.Tang said this is why Taiwan must continue to keep its submarine communications cables working, while ensuring that there are diverse means of communication available. Thus, the moda has proposed the “Communication Network Response Resilience” forward-looking plan, which includes the proof of concept program for non-geostationary orbit satellites. This will involve the installation of ground-receiving equipment in around 700 domestic and three overseas locations, in order to confirm the system’s usability for video conferences, network calling, and livestream platforms.The European Parliament has noticed that foreign influences have been systematically interfering with the EU’s democratic processes in recent years, by taking advantage of Europe’s open society, sabotaging citizens’ trust in the government, and weakening democratic and electoral systems. Hence, in June 2020, the EP established the ad hoc Special Committee on Foreign Interference in All Democratic Processes in the European Union, Including Disinformation (INGE), in order to reinforce responses to threats such as foreign interference and misinformation.Last year in November, the EU sent an INGE delegation to Taiwan for the first time, which applauded Taiwan’s democratic response to foreign interference and misinformation attacks. During the group’s visit, delegates met with Tang, who had been serving as a minister without portfolio, and conveyed the wish to facilitate more interactions with Taiwan.The EP’s ad hoc committees usually have one-year terms, which can be extended under the EP’s agreement. After the INGE’s term ended in March 2022, the EP immediately established a new ad hoc committee, ING2, to carry on relevant works.Members of the EP are elected every five years by EU citizens, whom they represent. Their main duties include passing EU legislation, supervising EU organizations, approving or denying European Commission members’ appointments, and reviewing EU budgets. <發布日期>2022-09-30T17:47:47 <更新日期>2023-06-01T17:50:24 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/5uu2itq5.rkp.png <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/2592.html <標題>Taiwan Places Top Three in Eight Criteria of the IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking 2022, and Ninth Place in the Newly Added Criterion “Government Cyber Security Capacity” <網頁內容>On September 28, the Swiss International Institute for Management Development (IMD) announced the World Digital Competitiveness Ranking 2022 (DCR), which placed Taiwan 11th out of 63 major countries and economies in the world. This was Taiwan’s second-best ranking on record, reaching the top three in eight criteria, as well as ninth place in the newly added criterion, “Government cyber security capacity.”1. Taiwan ranked top three in eight criteria globallyIn this year’s ranking, Taiwan reached the top three in eight criteria, which was one more than in 2021. Out of the eight criteria, Taiwan topped the list in “Total R&D personnel per capita,” “Mobile Broadband subscribers,” and “IT and media stock market capitalization.”Taiwan ranked second in “Use of big data and analytics” and third in “Higher education achievement,” “Total expenditure on R&D (%),” “High-tech exports (%),” and “Agility of companies.”These results demonstrate Taiwan’s efforts to develop infrastructure and research and development applications, while promoting digital transformation.2. Taiwan’s ranking in the “Knowledge,” “Technology,” and “Future readiness” factorsThe IMD ranking uses three factors, nine sub-factors, and 54 criteria to assess a country’s capacity and readiness for adapting to, exploring, and using digital transformation. The three factors are “Knowledge,” “Technology,” and “Future readiness.”(1)The “Knowledge” factor reflects the assessed countries’ ability to learn new technology. Taiwan ranked 18th globally, topping the criterion “Total R&D personnel per capita” and placing third in “Higher education achievement” and “Total expenditure on R&D (%).”This confirms Taiwan’s dedication to higher education, and research and development talent cultivation. Taiwan’s ranking in “Pupil–teacher ratio (tertiary education)” and “R&D productivity by publication” both increased by three places compared to 2021.(2)The “Technology” factor mainly assesses countries’ ability to develop innovative digital technologies. Taiwan ranked sixth globally, topping the criteria “IT and media stock market capitalization” and “Mobile Broadband subscribers,” and showing improvement in “Development & application of tech,” “Scientific research legislation,” “Intellectual property rights,” “Funding for technological development,” “Banking and financial services,” “Country credit rating,” “Communications technology,” and “High-tech exports (%).”This illustrates the significant results achieved by the government’s promotion of programs relating to national digital transformation, reinforcement of Taiwan’s technological capacity and information and communication infrastructure, and active assistance of startup development.(3)The “Future readiness” factor mainly assesses countries’ level of digital transformation. Taiwan ranked eighth globally, placing second in “Use of big data and analytics,” third in “Agility of companies,” and showing improvement in “Internet retailing,” “Use of big data and analytics,” “Knowledge transfer,” and “Public–private partnerships.”These results show that Taiwan’s promotion of digital transformation has gradually made progress.In the newly added criterion “Government cyber security capacity” under the “Future readiness” factor, Taiwan ranked ninth in the first-ever assessment, which indicates the importance of cyber security issues stemming from the country’s unique situation. After the government’s active response and implementation of various measures, citizens felt confident about the government’s overall cyber security capacity.The Ministry of Digital Affairs said that the government will review the IMD’s report and evaluate Taiwan’s digital development advantages and disadvantages according to its ranking in each criterion, which will be used as a reference when planning relevant strategies. In the future, the government will actively promote national digital transformation by shaping Taiwan’s digital operation capacity through innovative ideas and technology, to enhance the country’s digital national power. <發布日期>2022-09-28T17:38:32 <更新日期>2023-06-01T17:45:07 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/gdn122w1.3ah.jpg <相關檔案>https://www-api.moda.gov.tw/File/Get/moda/en/D4usrntQjPnPKJA <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/2368.html <標題>Digital Minister Attends Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum <網頁內容>On September 12, the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) Minister Audrey Tang spoke via a video call at the Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum (APrIGF), which was held under the United Nations Economic and Social Council’s (UN ECOSOC) Internet Governance Forum(IGF). Tang’s speech focused on internet policy issues relating to sustainability and energy conservation; she shared how Taiwan has been reducing carbon emissions through its digital transformation.Tang provided examples of this, including the Administration for Digital Industries’ (ADI) Tcloud platform, which allows small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to easily introduce cloud-based solutions such as a carbon reduction calculator or energy management system. Additionally, as Taiwan’s 3G network will end in 2024, the country will be able to save 100 million kilowatts of power every year.The 2022 APrIGF was a hybrid event held from September 12 to 14 in Singapore, with the theme: “People at the Centre: Envisioning a community-led Internet that is inclusive, sustainable and trusted.” Tang was invited to join via a video call, to discuss the issue of “Towards an EcoInternet—A Multistakeholder Dialogue on Policy Making and Strategizing for a Sustainable and Energy Efficient Internet.” She explained Taiwan’s methods and experience in promoting carbon emission reductions through digital transformation.Tang told the panel that during the COVID-19 pandemic, Taiwan helped vendors to integrate mobile payment systems through Tcloud, while SMEs were able to directly buy services on the platform. This shows the viability of digital transformation among SMEs.In terms of net zero issues, Tcloud also incorporates cloud-based solutions such as a carbon reduction calculator and energy management system. Eleven suppliers have provided 14 cloud solutions, including the “carbon footprint verification (CFV) energy management cloud system,” “organization greenhouse gas footprint verification solution,” “rental power surveillance system,” and “energy management cloud,” which allow SMEs to easily introduce carbon reduction solutions.According to Tang, many SMEs in the past found CFV troublesome, and thought it was something only large corporations were capable of. However, the Asia Pacific Social Innovation Summit, held in May this year in Taiwan, went through an internationally recognized exhibition CFV.Now, through Tcloud, relevant CFV methods have become far more convenient. Tang encouraged organizations involved to try their hand at calculating their carbon footprint when organizing activities, as this may help them to obtain influence certificates in the future, and allow them to reduce carbon emissions by simply going online.Tang added that President Tsai Ing-wen has established Taiwan’s Net Zero by 2050 goals, and aside from the government’s introduction of carbon reduction programs through Tcloud, the National Communications Commission (NCC) plans to end the 3G network in 2024. Once the network is shut down and voice call systems are transferred to a 4G voice service (VoLTE), Taiwan will save around 100 million kilowatts of power every year.The APrIGF is a regional event under the UN ECOSOC’s IGF system. Countries within the Asia-Pacific region join discussions, exchanges, and partnerships, with the goal of enhancing the Asia-Pacific Region’s internet governance.The APrIGF has been held annually since 2010 in cities including Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Seoul. In 2016, it was held in Taipei. <發布日期>2022-09-12T17:31:55 <更新日期>2023-06-01T17:35:41 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/hrgs0hev.xty.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/2246.html <標題>Digital Minister Holds First Video Conference, Presents Forward-looking Programs <網頁內容>Shortly after the Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) was inaugurated on August 27, Minister Audrey Tang held her first-ever video press conference on September 1. Tang explained two of the moda’s new plans in the phase-four Forward-looking Infrastructure Development Program—namely, the “Responsive or Wartime Application of Emerging Technology to Reinforce Communication Network Digital Resilience Plan,” which ensures the usability of communication networks during emergency situations such as natural disasters or war; and the “Communication Innovative Technology Application Development and Environment Building Plan,” which assists industries to adopt innovative applications.Tang said that these programs managed by the moda are mostly phase-three Forward-looking Programs that have been transferred to the Ministry, to be continued as phase-four programs. In the fourth phase, the moda has proposed two new plans: the Communication Response Resilience Plan, and the Communication Innovation Application Plan.The goal of the Communication Response Resilience Plan is to ensure that if existing communication systems such as submarine cables, the mobile network, and fixed network are damaged during emergency situations, Taiwan may still use these networks supported by non-geosynchronous satellites, in order to send necessary response messages (including video conference calls, network calls, and livestreams), both domestically and internationally. Considering that currently there is no commercial non-geosynchronous satellite service, the moda will conduct a proof of concept and install ground receiving equipment at over 700 domestic and three overseas locations, in order to confirm the feasibility of using non-geosynchronous satellites for response communication services.As the phase-four Forward-looking Program has a term of two years, the communication network response resilience plan has been assigned a budget of NT$300 million in 2023 and NT$250 million in 2024, totaling NT$550 million.Meanwhile, the Communication Innovation Application Plan aims to build an environment for communication technology innovation applications that will cultivate practical public application services. These services will be exported to the international market with the goal of “increasing social and production value by NT$10 billion”—meaning that the moda hopes to translate social values created by these communication applications, such as saved time and streamlined services, into measurable financial value.For example, Tang said that currently, it may be difficult for those with hearing or language disabilities to make or take phone calls. However, by providing a video relay service through real-time matching, communication can be improved through innovation.While it may be hard to estimate the value of this service, it definitely holds social value. According to Tang, this social value should also be calculable in currencies.Tang added that the Communication Innovation Application Plan’s vision is to brainstorm with the public on how to take advantage of emerging low-latency, high-broadband communication applications, and to create high social value applications that also have production value and may allow for cross-border service delivery in the future. The moda expects to gather at least 100 project ideas, and will choose to implement at least 10 with especially high social value.The Communication Innovation Application Plan is also being implemented under the phase-four Forward-looking Program, with a two-year term. The plan has a budget of NT$600 million in 2023 and NT$700 million in 2024, adding up to NT$1.6 billion.Additionally, in response to the bill proposed by scholars on the compulsory bargaining between the media and digital platforms, which named the moda as the recommended competent authority, Tang said that the Minister without Portfolio, Wu Tsung-tsong, was already coordinating relevant ministries and councils. Tang added that while interacting with the press, she had previously mentioned that the moda’s goal is to ensure the prosperous development of all industries; and if the news industry needs to undergo digital transformation to tackle the challenges posed by large, cross-border digital platforms, “That is definitely our job.”Tang explained that under Minister Wu’s coordination, the moda will conduct an overall review of large, cross-border digital platforms’ advertising business, and will investigate the critical problems for the news industry caused by those platforms. The moda will then work with other ministries and councils to help news companies launch an equal dialogue with large digital platform providers.Tang responded to rumors that she is not interested in the issue of media bargaining, by stating that the government’s policies are not based on personal interests, and that the moda’s work includes promoting the digital transformation of all industries. She added that the moda will provide updated information once progress has been made.Regarding the public’s and certain legislators’ doubts about the moda’s budget and “excessive funds,” Tang reiterated that the Ministry, including its two administrations, has a budget of around NT$5.7 billion, which is just a small fraction of the overall administrative budget of NT$2.72 trillion. The moda’s budget also includes around NT$3.2 billion that is used for transferring works from other ministries and councils.As the moda’s budget was calculated according to regulations and is under the Legislative Yuan’s supervision, there is no issue of “excessive funds.” The content and items of all the moda’s plans for traveling abroad, commissioned projects, and donations are listed clearly in the budget, and the public can see how funds are used by reviewing the complete document. <發布日期>2022-09-01T13:26:13 <更新日期>2023-06-01T17:28:48 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/2034.html <標題>The moda Thanks Allies and Friends for Inauguration Congratulations <網頁內容>The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) was inaugurated by President Tsai Ing-wen and Premier Su Tseng-chang on August 27. By noon, it had received congratulatory messages about both moda’s inauguration and Minister Audrey Tang’s appointment—these came from political representatives and friends from 13 countries, including Chile, France, Germany, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Paraguay, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the U.K., and the U.S.Considering that “national digital power” has become the most important field of competition for developed countries, President Tsai proposed the vision to make Taiwan a “digital country and smart island” while she was running for her first term.In her second term’s inauguration speech, she vowed to create a “digital development agency” that would consolidate the five fields of communications, information, cyber security, the Internet, and media. The goal was to promote the innovation and reformation of Taiwan’s digital development policy, ensure national cyber security, stimulate digital industry development, and assist the public- and private-sector digital transformation.The moda thanks the political representatives and friends for their sincere good wishes. It looks forward to being the driving force behind Taiwan’s digital development, working closely with other countries, and enhancing Taiwan’s contributions to the international community. <發布日期>2022-08-27T17:23:51 <更新日期>2023-06-01T17:25:21 <相關圖片> <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片> <來源網址>https://moda.gov.tw/en/press/press-releases/1986.html <標題>Taiwan inaugurates Ministry of Digital Affairs, strives to ‘Free the Future’ <網頁內容>The much-heralded Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) was inaugurated in Aug. 27, a milestone initiative advancing Taiwan’s efforts to build digital resilience and "Free the Future."This new ministry, also known as moda, is committed to be the "motor" expedites the digital development in Taiwan, said Minister Audrey Tang of moda in her inauguration speech. The ministry is aimed to build digital resilience for all, connect the digital technologies with civil affairs, strengthen industrial competitiveness and cybersecurity practices, accelerate social digital development and realize the vision of a smart country, she added.The core mission of moda lies in "resilience," entailing building the civil digital resilience in social inclusion, industrial transformation and adaptive resilience by responding to the requirements of social development, industrial development and emergency response with the utilization of digital means, Tang said.According to Tang, the "National Institute of Cyber Security" is expected to be established by the end of this year in response to the moda's growing business. The moda will continue to recruit top-flight talent from the private sector through a more flexible hiring mechanism. Formal trappings of education such as diplomas should not stand in the way of finding the right people, she said.Following the inauguration ceremony, Tang accompanied President Tsai Ing-wen and Premier Su Tseng-chang on a tour of the moda building on Yanping South Road in Taipei City. She signed off on the ministry’s first electronic document using mobile phone verification, an example of how the moda is leading the way in digital transformation.Congratulatory "Free the Future" messages are pouring in from Taiwan-stationed foreign envoys and like-minded partners who appeared on Tang’s video podcast show Innovative Minds–co-produced by government-sponsored English streaming platform TaiwanPlus. Among them are Sandra Oudkirk, director of the American Institute in Taiwan; Hiroyasu Izumi, Chief Representative of the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association Taipei Office; Austrine Armonaite, Lithuanian minister of economy and innovation; Carlos Jose Fleitas Rodriguez,ambassador of South America ally Paraguay; YouTube co-founder Steve Chen and the "father of the Internet in Japan" Murai Jun."Free the Future" is a catchphrase personally designed by Tang. It encapsulates the moda's core philosophy that nothing is set in stone, and all possibilities can be realized with commitment, courage, self-belief and vision. <發布日期>2022-08-27T11:21:00 <更新日期>2022-12-14T09:10:05 <相關圖片>https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/df4afzzv.cgv.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/cbmbrdzb.ucb.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/vry1e5vx.aki.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/hwc3hpnc.p1b.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/p1ofxnnm.1to.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/aclcufda.4p2.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/5nobhfgy.ucl.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/yzakjcvs.xo3.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/nanipqkh.szz.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/bklinece.jxx.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/n3ddx1fe.0zf.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/ztuhnckn.m3z.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/btm5wksn.xvy.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/qrkapls5.yz5.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/bdt2oe4c.j0a.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/kpt1cltf.jcr.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/lt3bhomm.wmn.jpg,https://moda.gov.tw/copyright/MODA/d1hsyzel.w1n.jpg <相關檔案> <相關連結> <相關影片>
