説明を展開
The AI Basic Act passed its third reading at the Legislative Yuan on 23 December 2025 and was promulgated by President Lai Ching-te on 14 January 2026 — one of Asia's rare enforceable AI framework laws. NSTC is the competent authority; seven international principles are codified; the Executive Yuan must set up a National AI Strategy Special Committee; MODA must build a risk-classification framework; high-risk AI applications must be labelled; labour rights are safeguarded. Implementation timeline: minors/human-rights/gender impact assessment within 3 months; government AI use-case risk assessments within 6 months; government AI usage rules within 12 months; relevant statutes aligned within 24 months. Assessment: Taiwan chose the EU-style "framework law + secondary regulations" path rather than Singapore's "voluntary code + AI Verify". It is legally binding but takes 24 months to land, leaving an interim regulatory gap.
