It’s time for Smart City Summit & Expo 2025 and for this year, we’re still looking forward to 2050 Net Zero City Expo. We have 4 esteemed guests for the opening ceremony, two of them are from Taiwan and two more are from the United States and also Hungary.
The speakers for this opening ceremony are:
- Mr. Gábor Kiss – Chief Advisor on Foreign Affairs to the President, Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry
- Mr. Charles Lin – Deputy Mayor, Kaohsiung City Government, Taiwan
- Mr. Jiunn Shiow Lin – Director General of Administration (Digital Industries), Ministry of Digital Affairs (MoDA), Taiwan
- Mr. Steven M. Neuhaus – County Executive, Orange County (NY), United States
Mr. Charles Lin, started the opening ceremony with his speech with a talk regarding Kaohsiung’s city government with sovereign AI project that utilizes Nvidia’s platform to build city-level generative AI platform with their own LLM. Having such a project can enhance urban governance and support industry applications by integrating diverse data sources, hence taking everyone into account while coming out with a solution. Yet, the LLM can be used for various applications like trafic optimization, disaster recovery like typhoons and whatnot.
Taiwan has already been doing the Smart City Initiatives for a few years right now, and utilizes a public-private partnership model. The model is constantly iterating but it has already been exported to many other places for smart city applications. To further enhance the smart city models, Taiwan government has also provided funding to support digital transmation and AI startups.
Just like before, there are international guests from other countries too. This is because the Smart City initiative has been beneficial to many other places around the globe too. Since Taiwan’s smart city initiative started a few years ago, it is much more mature and can actually be a model for other cities to follow in terms of technology and infrastructure.
Of course, data security is a big concern as technology and data is involved. Hence, it requires robust cybersecurity politices and practices with no leeway. Taiwan is prioritizing data security by implementing data privacy, enhancing technologies and localized generative AI platforms from a city level. The goal here is to utilize data collected from the citizens but without compromising personal data information, while still enhancing the city governance, services, and efficiency.
