Kuomintang legislator Ke Jung-Chun emphasized the integration of technology and democratic governance, with strong support from World, a company co-founded and chaired by Sam Altman, CEO of the renowned AI company OpenAI.
Kuomintang legislator Ke Jung-Chun recently attended the "a new world" event jointly organized by Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and Alex Blania, CEO of Tools for Humanity. The event showcased the latest global applications of World ID and highlighted its innovative technology in digital identity verification and digital empowerment in the age of artificial intelligence.
Ke Jung-Chun stated that this meeting not only allowed him to be the only official invitee from the Asia-Pacific region but also represented the Legislative Yuan of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Emerging Technology Exchange Association (ETEA) in San Francisco, marking the experimental application of World ID in Taiwan: the launch of the TAIVote platform. The TAIVote platform will combine World ID technology to conduct anonymous and secure real-person voting experiments, marking one of Taiwan's first attempts to apply advanced technology to democratic decision-making.
At a time when Taiwan is exploring the establishment of the "AI Basic Law," TAIVote selected six key issues in the first phase of testing, including topics such as copyright protection and limitations on AI development, inviting real individuals verified through World ID to express their opinions to provide a basis for future policy-making. Ke Jung-Chun pointed out that this experiment helps promote Taiwan's role in global AI governance and positions Taiwan as a leading country in the integration of advanced technology and democratic governance worldwide.
In addition to co-founding World, Sam Altman also serves as its chairman. He and Alex Blania were impressed by Taiwan's technological development, and World expressed special thanks to Taiwan for its participation at the event, stating their anticipation for future collaboration with Taiwan to promote a new type of citizen in the AI era—Proof of Human—participation program.
