Is Letting AI Read a Crime? With Copyright Law Unchanged, Only 1% of Taiwan's Sovereign AI Corpus Comes from the Private Sector
Business Today asks why Taiwan's Traditional Chinese AI corpus struggles to grow: of 7,161 items in the digital ministry's corpus, only 111 come from the private sector, and copyright law has yet to address AI training. The report opens with Taiwan.md, the knowledge base Che-Yu Wu started so mainstream models can learn a Taiwanese perspective, now 1,123 articles strong but held back by fear of infringement.

Taoyuan Knows Water: How Reclaimed Water Becomes a Grain of Rice at Life Around Water, Taiwan Design Expo 2026
Bella's guide to the Life Around Water zone describes Che-Yu Wu's Cymatics of Life: visitors scan a QR code and answer five questions about everyday water use, and the answers become parameters and frequencies that grow a Water Ripple Mandala of their own, on the phone and on a curved screen about twelve metres wide. Every half hour the wall runs a timed performance of about a minute.
