@NeelNanda — You funded the Asterisk AI Blogging Fellowship because good writing about AI reaches people that research papers don't. This project applies the same logic to Traditional Chinese.

Taiwan AI Governance Forum is the only high-quality AI governance publication in Traditional Chinese serving Taiwan's manufacturing sector — the workforce that builds the hardware on which frontier AI runs. 7,224 active members, 14,733 post views across 34 issues, zero external funding. No equivalent resource exists in this language for this audience.

@lisathiergart -Your focus on hardware security and technical governance maps directly onto this project.

The EU Cyber Resilience Act requires cybersecurity conformity assessment for all connected devices sold into Europe, with high-risk obligations applying August 2026. Taiwan manufactures the majority of these devices. The engineers and compliance teams responsible for CRA conformity read Traditional Chinese. There is currently no technical governance resource in their language explaining what CRA requires at the hardware level.

Taiwan AI Governance Forum covers exactly this gap — 7,224 active members, predominantly founders and senior managers in Taiwan's manufacturing supply chain, 14,733 post views across 34 issues. The founder has 20 years inside Taiwan's industrial automation sector and currently advises manufacturers on CRA compliance directly.

@MarcusAbramovitch — You just funded Tarbell for AI journalism. This project is the same category for a geography nobody else is covering.

Taiwan produces the majority of the world's AI chips. Its factory owners and senior managers are making real-time decisions about AI deployment with zero access to governance information in their language. This is not a meta-org promoting governance theory. It is a practitioner publication from someone with 20 years inside Taiwan's industrial automation sector, now advising manufacturers directly on EU regulatory compliance.

@gleech — You funded ChinaTalk because it was the only publication covering China/AI with real practitioner access, in a language philanthropists couldn't evaluate. This project is the same logic for Taiwan.

Taiwan AI Governance Forum is the only Traditional Chinese-language AI governance community serving Taiwan's manufacturing sector — 7,224 active members, predominantly founders and CEOs, 14,733 post views across 34 issues, zero external funding. Taiwan is the semiconductor chokepoint in global AI development. Its industrial decision-makers are navigating EU Cyber Resilience Act compliance and factory-floor AI deployment with no governance literacy infrastructure in their language.

Asking $35,000 for 12 issues, one public event, and one annual research report. Would welcome your thoughts.
