Ge Rujun (Dr. Bao), a new legislator of the Kuomintang who has conducted in-depth research on AI and blockchain issues, shared how he brought technological thinking such as blockchain, AI, IT, and virtual worlds into the ABS 2024 Asia Blockchain Summit. Legislature.
Technology Legislator Ge Rujun: Introducing blockchain decentralized network and Web3 open collaboration spirit into the Legislative Yuan
At the beginning of his speech, Legislator Ge Rujun emphasized his love for decentralized and decentralized culture, " I am very concerned about how we use technology and the power of the masses to create nodes one after another, connect them into a network, and generate consensus. , and then create a common history that belongs to the virtual world and can be trusted.”
He said that he joined the Legislative Yuan, a very special network, in November last year. Legislators are like nodes. He became one of the 113 nodes, and everyone worked together to find consensus.
What I think is that I am probably the first otaku and coder.
After entering the Legislative Yuan, can I leave something behind so that Taiwan, as an island of science and technology, can have more people like me in the future, or people better than me, who can think with technology and be scientific? The thinking in the new virtual world of technology, IT, semiconductors, blockchain, and AI comes to this Legislative Yuan.
The first thing he did after entering the Legislative Yuan was to hire a full-time engineer to be his assistant in the Legislative Yuan office, and set up his official website as a legislator to fully record everything he wanted to promote in the Legislative Yuan. .
On the official website, there is an AI chatbot to facilitate people to interact with the content, summarize key points, and use Eleven Labs AI tools to copy their own voices and read them to people who are inconvenient to read at the moment. The key point is that the entire website is open source and licensed under CC0. All conference content and web pages are on GitHub, open to everyone to co-edit.
I hope to bring the spirit of openness, inheritance and collaboration that I have learned in the blockchain decentralized network and Web3 culture to a place that inherently requires openness, inheritance and collaboration. This place is called the Legislative Yuan. I I believe that such a spirit will receive more and more help and support.
What politicians are doing, I think the rules can be changed, and I hope to change them with everyone.

And to show how powerful Taiwan's ICT industry actually is, she pointed out that Taiwan itself is a cluster, which is the result of the joint efforts of all ICT industry players on the island.
90% of the servers in the world are made by Taiwanese manufacturers, and 76% of the laptops are made by Taiwanese manufacturers. Therefore, in terms of computing power, Taiwanese manufacturers have contributed a lot, so we believe that Taiwan’s ICT industry is at the forefront of the industry. Play the role of hub.
As a long-term partner of Nvidia, the technology giant ASUS (ASUS), its global senior vice president Kent Chien humorously showed off a photo of himself and Huang Jen-Hsun. He said that computing power is the core of the blockchain, and Taiwan has made a huge contribution to global computing power. .

What is Taiwan's approximate GPU market share in the world? Taiwan cooperates with NVIDIA every year, and the top four manufacturers including ASUS account for 72%. So this is probably Taiwan’s core competitiveness position in the entire computing power.

Kent, global vice president of ASUS, said that because ASUS itself is in the B2C business, they are relatively close to users. They have many users. This community actually has a lot of overlap with the virtual world, so they have contact with many customers. Blockchain world.
So rather than saying ASUS can help, it’s better to say ASUS is helping . In fact, ASUS sells more than 20 million devices every year. What else can ASUS do in the future?
For example: Our community base, ASUS ROG currently has more than 40 million members. If all these 40 million people participate, it will actually be of considerable help to the blockchain community.
This is why our company is now launching a project slash pass, which is basically a soul-bound token. Basically it is a digital predecessor, allowing everyone to prepare to enter a virtual world.
The second part is in customer relationship management. ASUS will probably think about how to make some tokens in the future.
Then there is ASUS Metaverse. We hope to create a platform to help everyone enter the virtual world and integrate virtual and real things. There may be many transactions, entertainment and applications in the middle, and everyone can exchange with each other. It is a very open platform.
