Trusted AI Solutions for Secure Data: Taiwan AI Labs’ Offerings Join Government Inter-Entity Supply Contract E-Procurement System
[December 2, 2024] In alignment with President Lai Ching-te’s vision of transforming Taiwan into an AI-driven nation, government agencies are progressively integrating AI services. The Ministry of Digital Affairs has also launched a five-year national AI development strategy to automate administrative services. However, ensuring the security of sensitive national data while optimizing workflows with AI has become a crucial challenge for public institutions.
Taiwan AI Labs, a long-time advocate of trusted and responsible AI, has developed Taiwan’s most comprehensive Traditional Chinese language models. These solutions have been selected for inclusion in the government’s Inter-Entity Supply Contract E-Procurement System, supporting public sector agencies in navigating the AI era with confidence and contributing to the growth of Taiwan’s AI industry alliance.
Ethan Tu, founder of Taiwan AI Labs, emphasized that while AI technologies can address issues such as workforce shortages and heavy administrative burdens, it is essential to consider the potential risks associated with global AI technology providers, including insufficient data security measures and the impact of AI bias.Globally, numerous incidents have demonstrated how improper AI deployment can compromise organizational security and personal data.
In April 2024, cybersecurity firm UpGuard revealed a major U.S. government AI contractor had stored around 550GB of sensitive data on an unprotected cloud database, exposing critical information to public access and creating national security vulnerabilities. Mainstream large language models (LLMs) can also store information through APIs or interactive sessions, raising concerns about data security and confidentiality.
Taiwan AI Labs: Ensuring Trusted AI and Data Protection
With generative AI technologies accelerating efficiencies across industries, most mainstream models require organizations to upload data to the cloud, increasing the risk of sensitive data leakage. Taiwan AI Labs’s FedGPT technology, however, keeps all confidential data within the organization. Its dedicated models do not share data externally, aligning with stringent regulatory requirements in sensitive industries.
Ethan Tu compared FedGPT to an experienced and highly reliable team member who works exclusively within the organization, ensuring that no internal information is shared externally—unlike relying on outside contractors.
Taiwan AI Labs’ AI solutions for the public sector focus on core principles of transparency, traceability, verifiability, and auditability. The offerings now available through the Inter-Entity Supply Contract E-Procurement System include:
