   Taiwan Proposes Remuneration for Private AI Training Data

   Taiwan’s Ministry of Digital Development plans to encourage AI companies to establish remuneration mechanisms when using private, high-quality data for model training. No concrete design has yet been proposed for pricing, licensing administration, or distributing payments, so the proposal remains exploratory. At an October rights-holder meeting, the digital, culture and intellectual-property agencies also discussed voluntary licensing for Taiwan’s sovereign AI training corpus and draft copyright guidance. The corpus is intended to reflect Taiwan’s language, culture and social context and had accumulated about 3.3 billion tokens by mid-October.

   Taiwan Government Attack Used Near-Autonomous AI Agents, Report Says

   iThome reported that foreign hackers used an AI attack system built on Hermes and OpenClaw agent frameworks in a hybrid attack against Taiwan government agencies in early July 2026. Taiwan’s Ministry of Digital Development said government cybersecurity monitoring detected the anomalous attack in July and that the attackers combined AI agents with other methods. According to Dream Security’s reconstruction from 1,395 work files, the operation lasted less than four days and involved 12 attack waves, with up to eight agents deployed in a single wave. The company said the system cracked 85 sets of government personnel credentials and obtained at least 2,564 personnel records. Dream Security described the operation as near-autonomous, meaning it was not fully autonomous or necessarily free of human involvement. The attacker’s identity and state affiliation were not established.
