Detail
The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) is Taiwan's top financial regulator. AI-related functions: (1) compliance review of AI applications in banking / insurance / securities; (2) GenAI pilot guidelines for the financial industry (issued 2024); (3) regulatory sandbox for AML, risk-management, and customer-service AI use cases. FSC's split with NSTC (AI Basic Act competent authority) is: FSC handles financial-sector AI rules, NSTC handles the national framework. Assessment: FSC plays a sectoral sub-regulator role, mirroring Singapore's MAS. Taiwan's financial AI innovation is active (E.SUN, Fubon), but FSC guidelines remain conservative — a continuation of Taiwan's "conservative finance + aggressive semiconductors" dual-track posture into the AI era.
