The afternoon session, co-hosted by Taiwan AI Cloud and the Tainan City Government, was themed "AI City," showcasing city-level AI initiatives. Through keynote speeches and the forum "AI City: Building a City-Level AI Innovation Ecosystem," the session comprehensively demonstrated Taiwan's strengths in AI computing power, model training, and AI Foundry, further empowering cross-domain integration of cities and ecosystems, accelerating the implementation of applications in transportation, healthcare, disaster prevention, and other fields, and forming a replicable and exportable Taiwanese AI development model.
Tainan City Deputy Mayor Chao Ching-hui proposed the "Tainan Model," which uses citizens' needs to drive urban governance and industrial innovation, constructs three pillars: data sovereignty, computing power autonomy, and platform controllability, and promotes the AI transformation of various industries by following the strategy of "expanding computing power, linking fields, attracting talent, and developing applications."
