In response to the global rise of artificial intelligence (AI), the Executive Yuan is spearheading a program to increase the AI literacy of its civil servants, aiming to integrate AI into daily government operations to improve administrative and service efficiency. Through a systematic and strategic approach involving close collaboration among industry, government, academia and research institutions, the program seeks to elevate AI knowledge and skills across all levels of the civil service, while strengthening the public sector's capacity for smart transformation. By promoting widespread AI adoption within the government, Taiwan can drive AI development across industries and accelerate its transformation into a smart nation.
