The first question. From the...
OK. The first question. From tech people, what led you to support government? What inspired you about this view?
What is the future of democracy on your mind?
What will technology turn from government to be more transparency?
Talking about AI, how AI can help reaching the sustainable development goals?
Do you have any country where you are learning from, in your mind, about the GovTech?
The last question. What is the advise would you give to young generation?
Thank you so much.
OK, cool. Can you tell us a bit about the digital government movement in Taiwan, and some of the ideas behind that?
What’s the change that you’re hoping to see?
Why does this work really matter? If you were explaining it to someone you just met in the street, what’s important to know?
If someone were very stressed out and worried, what are the kind of problems that you hope this would solve, or why is it the most important thing for us to focus on?
What might you say to a civil servant in another country, like Canada, about their work, and how it fits into your experiment?
You’ve heard a little bit about the unit, the digital enablement unit of the government of Canada. Can you talk a little bit about how, why the work of the digital enablement unit might be important?
What do you think are some things that we might be able to do together in the next six months? What are the smaller things that you hope for in the short term?
What are some of the things that you’ve seen in the government of Canada that connect to your work? Could you comment a little bit, maybe, on the digital enablement unit specifically, as well as anything else that comes to mind?
If there were people who saw social innovation and digital government as two different movements, if those groups weren’t connected, what might you have to say to some of those people?
Adding on to that, can you talk about how people that might see digital government and social innovation, instead of just automating the processes and automating the same steps, how you’re forced to reevaluate the question and make sure that you’re actually answering and innovating in new ways?
Rather than just automating processes that already exist, making things happen in a different way, in an innovative way. Taking new approaches to old problems.
Last question for you. Can you talk a little bit about why it might be important for open government and social innovation movements to work together across jurisdictions and what that might look like?
Specifically, how do you think different countries, provinces, or cities can work together across their jurisdictions?
Thank you. Is there anything else that you wanted to say at this time?
That was wonderful, thank you very much. Really appreciate it.
I was asking...
But Kel is going to have video shot during this trip, right?
Though I couldn’t fully follow your conversation it has been so interesting. There are a few things coming into my mind. I have a question for Audrey. You just mentioned that you taught in Kaohsiung and Hangzhou.
What was that occasion? Are you still teaching now as a minister?
Is it possible you teach again?
Makes sense.
Is it possible...? After our workshop next week, I’m thinking to extend similar meaningful programs for the young students here, so if there’s a possibility I might come and listen to it, to follow, to try to maximize.
Because we are trying to set up a virtual college on digital arts in Chengchi University.
My second thought is that, I really enjoy your relaxing conversation. Is it possible for you to have a similar occasion to be on the Google things you did just a few weeks ago, and talking about the VR and try to open the eyes for those in audience who are not very familiar with...?
Yeah. That’s right.
You two together, sitting together, have a very relaxing conversation.
Yeah, but try to rebuild it online.
Yeah.
Is it possible...? [non‑English speech] .
[non‑English speech] .
[non‑English speech]
Oh, OK.
Kel has been talking with me about his idea to have VR festival here.
I’m going to work that through the pathway of the university. I think that was a good idea. I’m trying to invite Kel and his wife back to set some fires everywhere.
I’m expecting to work with you.
OK.
