Core Topics
Through a comparison of international cases and practices in Taiwan, this program systematically analyzes application scenarios such as smart security control, technology-driven law enforcement, drone inspections, smart transportation, and urban infrastructure, delving into the policy logic and governance challenges behind them. Beyond efficiency improvements, it also addresses privacy protection, fairness, and institutional design, responding to key societal questions about technology governance.
HOST
The program is hosted by veteran media professional Dr. Huang Pao-huei and features industry and government representatives. Through precise questioning and in-depth dialogue, it promotes the exchange of policy and practical experience.
It aims to provide a framework for dialogue and understanding in governance for decision-makers and society amidst rapidly changing urban development.

PAST EPISODES
Premiering in May 2026, Season One will feature the following episodes.
When people think of Kinmen, what often comes to mind are its military history, underground tunnels, and Kaoliang liquor. But as we enter the age of AI, perhaps it is time to see this island from a new perspective. Located far from Taiwan proper yet close to Xiamen, Kinmen’s unique geographic position means that it faces a range of governance challenges, including border security, healthcare on an outlying island, and elderly care. But could Kinmen’s small size and geographic remoteness actually become advantages in the AI era? Could Kinmen become Taiwan’s first demonstration island for smart governance?
Guest: Chen Yu-jen, Member of the Legislative Yuan
Some say AI is the most important technological revolution of the decade. Others believe it is merely the appetizer—and that quantum technology could be what truly transforms the next generation. Most people use AI every day, yet few genuinely understand quantum technology. What exactly is it? Will it compete with AI or work alongside it? And how will it shape smart cities, corporate cybersecurity, and the next global race for technological supremacy?
Guest: Prof. Chang Ching-Ray, Director of Foxconn & Lin Chien-han, Chairman of Taiwan SECOM Group
Every technological revolution redefines an era. The Industrial Revolution transformed the way we produce goods. The Internet transformed the way information flows. Artificial intelligence, or AI, is now transforming the way we live, the way industries operate, and even the way cities are governed. And now, the world is beginning to explore another technology that could shape the next generation — quantum technology. Quantum technology is not intended to replace AI. Rather, it is expected to build on the foundation of AI and help humanity tackle challenges that are beyond our capabilities today, yet will continue to confront us in the future. Today, let’s take a closer look at whether quantum technology could become the starting point of the next revolution in urban governance.
Guest: Prof. Chang Ching-Ray, Director of Foxconn & Lin Chien-han, Chairman of Taiwan SECOM Group
AI can help cities see farther ahead and make faster calculations. But ultimately, what determines how a city moves toward the future is the judgment and choices made by its leaders in every public policy decision. Today, we are greatly honored to welcome Legislator Hsieh Lung-chieh to our program. Together, we will explore the challenges and opportunities of the AI era from the perspective of urban governance.
Guest: Hsieh Lung-Chieh, Member of the Legislative Yuan
Over the past year, one question has been on everyone's mind: Will AI take our jobs? But have you ever wondered which jobs AI will take first? What happens when a drone that was once seen as little more than a toy becomes increasingly intelligent with AI—able to patrol on its own, detect problems, and even take on assignments autonomously? Well, just as you might expect, drones have started going to work. But they're not here to take anyone's job.
Guest: Weng Chang-liang, Magistrate of Chiayi County & Lin Chien-han, Chairman of Taiwan SECOM Group
If a person lacks self-awareness, it's difficult to recognize where they've been hurt. A city is no different. For years, we've lived in our cities without fully knowing which rivers were becoming polluted, which neighborhoods were heating up because of improperly discarded waste, or which parts of the sky were being quietly contaminated by illegal emissions. Today, however, that's beginning to change. Environmental risks that once went unnoticed are now being revealed through sensors, big data, and artificial intelligence. As a result, cities are beginning to develop the ability to sense and understand their own condition.
Guest: Dr. Peng Chi-Ming, Minister of Environment
Over the past few years, drones have become one of the world's most closely watched technologies. From the battlefields of Ukraine to conflicts in the Middle East, they have transformed the face of modern warfare. Beyond the military, drones have also become part of everyday life—supporting everything from logistics and power line inspections to disaster response. But did you know that while the world's attention is fixed on the race for dominance in the skies, another revolution is quietly unfolding—one that may prove even more far-reaching? It's happening in our farmlands.
Guest: Dato' Tony Peng, Chairman of All Cosmos Bio-Tech Holding Corporation
For the past few decades, humanity has been anticipating AI's integration into our lives. We imagined robots, flying cars, and even intelligent assistants capable of replacing human jobs. However, what truly revolutionized the world first were the sensors and AI systems hidden in roads, bridges, buildings, utility poles, and even underground pipelines.
Guest: Kao Hung-an, Mayor of Hsinchu City
When we used to discuss public safety, our traditional mindset was often: How quickly can the police solve cases and bring criminals to justice after crimes occur? However, with AI, big data, smart sensors, and drone technology rapidly entering urban environments, coupled with the manpower shortages and police pressure faced by many cities worldwide, the governance mindset of modern cities is also being forced to change.
Guests: Dr. Liao Hsun-cheng, Deputy Director-General of the National Police Agency & Lin Chien-han, Chairman of Taiwan SECOM Group
Tainan, a 400-year-old ancient city, has recently completed a profound digital transformation, showcasing not only the hard power of technology integration but also a new governance mindset where technology proactively takes over and dynamically reorganizes. This quiet digital revolution is redefining the foundation of Taiwan's tech cities.
Guests: Huang Wei-che, Mayor of Tainan City & Lin Chien-han, Chairman of Taiwan SECOM Group
As cities worldwide grapple with the challenges of digital transformation, labor shortages, and industrial restructuring, leveraging AI, 5G, and smart technologies to enhance governance efficiency has become a critical endeavor for nations globally. Kaohsiung, in particular, is making significant strides towards becoming a hub for smart technology.
Guest: Lai Rui-lung, Member of the Legislative Yuan
In the past, our discussions on disaster prevention mostly revolved around post-disaster response. But now, smart city disaster early warning systems are transforming "passive disaster relief" into "proactive disaster prevention." For Tainan, an ancient city with a 400-year history, what digital defense capabilities can smart governance enhance?
Guests: Chen Ting-fei ,Member of the Legislative Yuan & Lin Chien-han, Chairman of Taiwan SECOM Group
If AI is the brain of the next era of civilization, what will serve as the nervous system that keeps it connected and alive? As artificial intelligence becomes deeply embedded in every aspect of society, what critical infrastructure will power the next generation of connectivity—and ultimately shape the future of communications sovereignty?
Guests: Dennis Chen (Chin-Tsai Chen), Chairman, WIN Semiconductors Corp. & Dr. Chuck Huang, Senior Associate Vice President, WIN Semiconductors Corp.
As global supply chains become increasingly digital, ports are evolving far beyond their traditional role as cargo gateways. From logistics orchestration and energy management to end-to-end supply chain operations, AI is reshaping the future of ports around the world. Amid its ambitious transformation into a next-generation smart port, what vision is the Port of Kaohsiung pursuing—and what will it take to become a global benchmark for the AI era?
Guests: Hsu Chih-chieh, Member of the Legislative Yuan & Professor Rui-cheng Rao, National Taiwan Ocean University
By 2050, the global population aged 65 and over is expected to double to 1.6 billion. In 2025, Taiwan officially entered the era of a super-aged society. As populations age and more seniors live independently, how can smart cities enhance safety, well-being, and quality of life for older residents? Discover how technology is helping communities support aging with dignity—ensuring that growing old alone no longer means growing old without support.
Guests: Ko Chih-en, Member of the Legislative Yuan & Lin Chien-han, Chairman of Taiwan SECOM Group
As cities continue to expand, traditional approaches to urban management are no longer enough. Today's greatest risks often lie beneath the surface—invisible to the naked eye, yet critical to a city's resilience. As one of Taiwan's fastest-growing metropolitan areas, has Taichung reached a defining moment in its transformation? What will it take to evolve into a smarter, more resilient city for the future?
Guests: Johnny C. Chiang, Vice President of the Legislative Yuan & Lin Chien-han, Chairman of Taiwan SECOM Group
