TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Legislator Chuang Jui-hsiung (莊瑞雄), Legislator Ko Ju-chun (葛如鈞), and TPP member Hung Yu-hsiang (洪毓祥) joined a delegation that participated in the second annual Political Tech Summit 2026, held in Berlin from Friday to Saturday.

They exchanged views with global policymakers, technology experts, and researchers on how technology is reshaping democratic governance, CNA reported.

The delegation also attended a dinner hosted by Representative to Germany Ku Jui-sheng (谷瑞生), along with former German ambassador to China and Japan Volker Stanzel, former ambassador to Hungary Heinrich Kreft, and former head of the German Institute Taipei Martin Eberts.

During the dinner, Ko said Taiwan is like the chips it produces: small and indispensable. He said Taiwan recently passed the Artificial Intelligence Fundamental Act, which strengthens industrial competitiveness and places human rights and privacy at the core of the system. This provides the government with a clear legal basis to address deepfakes and disinformation, he said.

Hung said Taiwan has long operated in an environment of intense information warfare and gray-zone conflict, accumulating practical experience in cybersecurity protection and countering disinformation. He said he hoped Taiwan could deepen cooperation with Germany in semiconductors, AI, and cybersecurity to enhance the overall resilience of democratic societies.

Chuang said participating in multiple discussions on technology and democratic governance gave him a deeper understanding of European thinking on AI regulation and legal frameworks.
