TOKYO, Nov 18 (News On Japan) - Audrey Tang, the former Digital Minister of Taiwan, provided guidance to Japanese startup companies.

Tang stated, “That’s a great question. I believe it stems from differences in understanding AI’s role in society,” when asked about the combination of traditional strategies and AI intelligence.

On November 17th, Tang was invited to Tokyo, where she offered personalized advice and guidance to three startups, including an AI-related company based in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture.
