Two workshops related to artificial intelligence were held under the Global Cooperation and Training Framework by Taiwan earlier this month in the Holy See and Switzerland, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
Organized by the ROC (Taiwan) and U.S. embassies to the Holy See, the “AI and the Future of Work” workshop took place May 4-5 at Pontifical Gregorian University. It was the first GCTF event held in the ally, and had over 200 participants, including those from OpenAI, Microsoft, Google DeepMind and the U.N. Development Program.
According to the MOFA, the event was in response to concerns expressed by Pope Leo XIV on the ethics of AI, and underscored President Lai Ching-te’s vision for AI development based on an ethical framework with international collaboration. The workshop also demonstrated Taiwan’s engagement in values-based diplomacy through expert and professional contributions, the ministry said.
Amb. Ho Chung-yi said Taiwan actively promotes multi-lateral dialogue among parties in interest on AI development and technological innovations within an ethical framework. U.S. Amb. Brian Burch emphasized that the challenges and opportunities concomitant with AI behoove cross-disciplinary dialogue and international cooperation. In her keynote speech, Sister Raffaella Petrini, president of the Governorate of Vatican City State, called for the creation of a human-machine partnership based on accountability and education.
A similar workshop was organized May 7-8 in Bern by Taiwan’s representative office and the U.S. Embassy in Switzerland to discuss AI development trends and opportunities, as well as seek consensus regarding risk management.
Rep. Wang Szu-wei said AI is reshaping the way people learn, work and govern, calling for countries around the world to strengthen capacity building and promote cross-disciplinary cooperation in a people-centered approach. Taiwan is willing to work with the international community to advance prosperity and stability in the digital era, he added.
The MOFA said the Bern event focused on supply chain resilience, cybersecurity and AI applications in medical care. It involved more than 80 experts and officials from Taiwan, Australia, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, the U.K. and the U.S. (SFC-E)
