Taiwan uses AI and citizen input to boost democratic resilience, manage crises, and combat misinformation.

Taiwan’s digital democracy model, highlighted by Cyber Ambassador Audrey Tang in a September 2025 interview, has helped resolve social conflicts and manage the pandemic without lockdowns. The government uses AI and the “2·2·2 principle” to debunk misinformation within two hours via two channels, under 200 words. In 2024, AI analyzed input from 450 randomly selected citizens, leading to a new law requiring legal names for online ads. Initiatives like the Facing the Ocean conference and civic tech group g0v promote global collaboration and crisis response. A 2025 recall campaign, fueled by digital platforms, showed growing public mobilization. Taiwan’s approach combines inclusive citizen participation with tech-driven governance to strengthen transparency and democratic resilience.
