MODA to closely observe agentic AI‘GUIDELINES NEEDED’: East Asian countires are under great diplomatic pressure to choose between EU and US regulatory frameworks on AI, an official saidBy Shelley Shan / Staff reporterThe Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) yesterday said that it would closely monitor the evolution of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) before making any decisions about its integration into government systems. Unlike ChatGPT developed by OpenAI, agentic AI applications such as OpenClaw would automatically help users upload videos to YouTube and book flight tickets, Lin said. “Personally, I think, in the long run, agentic AI would be integrated into the operation of the government systems to enhance their efficiency. Projects to build AI computing power centers in other countries are mostly initiated and funded by private investors, he said. In Taiwan, the AI computing centers are categorized as important basic infrastructure and would be built using government and private funds, Lin said.
