Taiwan faces a critical balance in AI adoption as it seeks to use AI to address labor shortages caused by demographic challenges, while managing workforce concerns about job security. Nearly all Taiwanese businesses have launched AI projects, and workers show mixed but mostly positive attitudes towards AI, prompting calls for balanced policies that encourage innovation with governance.
