Taiwan AI Federated Learning Alliance” encourages AI advancement while protecting privacy rights
Publish Date :2021/01/29
The Taiwan AI Federated Learning Alliance launched today was created to
encourage AI advancement while protecting privacy rights. Taiwan’s achievements
in the deployment of technology for epidemic prevention and in federated
learning have attracted global attention. The Global Partnership on Artificial
Intelligence (GPAI), an international organization established by OECD nations,
has invited Taiwan AI Labs to its annual conference to address topics including
responsible AI, pandemic response, data governance, and to discuss how OECD
nations should go about data collection while complying with user privacy
rights.
At the GPAI conference, Taiwanese representatives proposed “Taiwan Federated
Learning” to protect privacy rights while accelerating the development of
industrial applications of artificial intelligence, which became the future goal
of GPAI. Today, the founding of the Taiwan AI Federated Learning Alliance
connects industries to work on federated learning, driving innovations in
medicine, transportation, manufacturing, art, finance, as well as cross-sector
applications, talent education, and international cooperation. Industry,
government, and academic sectors join hands to invest in research and
development of federated learning technology, creating a conducive environment,
establishing international and highly reliable data governance and services, and
operating mechanisms and standards. The alliance may also put forth policy
suggestions, in line with the Taiwanese government, promoting core strategic
industrial growth.
President of the Taiwan AI Federated Alliance and Founder of Taiwan AI Labs
Ethan Tu stated that the development of trusted AI in Taiwan that respects
privacy rights has attracted attention in OECD countries. The invitation of
Taiwan AI Labs to participate in GPAI has been met with warmth. With this spirit
of collaboration applied to federated learning training, verification,
deployment, the next step will be to achieve comprehensive AI applications and
field certifications, creating a traceable, understandable, verifiable, and
trustworthy AI module.
The Taiwan AI Federated Learning Alliance represents an opportunity for
Taiwan’s industries to demonstrate their soft power internationally. The
industries will collectively define a problem, gather information, conduct
training of an AI model, and proceed with its production and commercialization,
constructing an internationally trusted AI solution. The industries’ investments
will foster talent, technology, capital, regulation, and result in quality
federated learning services, shaping an environment conducive to further
innovation.
