PREVIEW: Taiwan's Culture, Safety, and Economic Woes Amid AI Transformation Guest: Anne Stevenson-Yang This is a conversation between John Batchelor and Anne Stevenson-Yang, who has recently arrived in Taipei, Taiwan. Stevenson-Yang praises Taiwan's wonderful public culture, safety, security, honesty, and accessibility, noting that one can leave money on the street or walk out late without worry. However, she acknowledges that Taiwan suffers from common global issues, including increasing income inequality, unaffordability, rising housing prices, and stagnant wages. While much of the economy is focused on electronics and fabs, these industries do not employ a massive number of people. The conversation also touches upon the worldwide, accelerating transformation of all endeavors—including productivity, education, and work—to an AI base. 1925 TAIPEI
