 Thank you very much, President Gu, for that very informative speech. Next, we would like to welcome Minister Audrey Tan, Executive Yuan, Taiwan, who will present on the topic of how Taiwan achieves SDGs together. I am honored to share some thoughts around the SDGs with you and just a really quick photo. This is my office. It's in the Taiwan Social Innovation Lab in the central Taipei city, just next to the Jengue Flower Market and the Daan Park. And pictured here is the, I think, the mayor of Prague of the Czech Republic, who loves Pangolins, apparently. We just learned that they're forming a sister city who is Taipei in a couple months. And it's his cabinet, his small cabinet of people, and they each picked SDG corresponding to their work, and they were just climbing on my office. And they are the first team anywhere in the world to climb on this. But then, afterward, it became fashionable. And so people learned after the mayor of Prague to just climb with the SDG's logos is now the very famous points to check in on Facebook and social media. And anyway, this is literally my office. So everybody can just step right from the street because we tore down the walls and talk to me for 40 minutes at a time. Every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. I'm there sharing food, sharing music with people, and this is also an incubating space. We work very closely with the USR projects nearby this space to co-create emergent social innovations to figure out the social norms together. So I will then share with you some experiences that I have working with universities in order to further the SDG. So we're talking very broad brushes, but all of this can be found online because everybody who worked with me and have any of the meetings that I chair, actually all the transcript is published online. So you can see as the digital minister in the past three years, I've talked with 4,000 people on over 200,000 speeches in over 1,000 meetings, each and every conversation. For example, one of these is the Jerome Gong University in Thailand and so on. I had a conversation with the Jerome Gong staff. The entire transcript is online for further study and so on. So the first case I'd like to present is the self-driving vehicles. And just a couple of years ago when I first set up an office hour, there was just random people from MIT Media Lab that suddenly showed up one day with these very 80 and looking creatures and said, these are self-driving vehicles. The minister would like to ride on one. And I'm like, is it safe? And they're like, it bumps into walls all the time. And I'm like, are you trying to do something to me? And they're like, no, this is really slow. This is slower than a person running. And so it's very safe. Even if they run into walls, nobody gets hurt. And what's the kind of model of sustainability of operation? Is it a proof of concept? They're like, we have no idea what we're trying to do with it. We want to figure it out together with the society. And this is a very different way when we go about technological innovation. Here we call it the norm-based innovation model, where we have the norm interact with the market first before having the code and the law joining in a more top-down fashion. And so when they proposed these kinds of driving tricycles, we literally interacted with the market. There was that jambu flower market nearby, and people just bought some pots of flowers and so on, orchid flowers and so on. And remember, an elderly couple just walked by because the wall is tore down. They just walked from the market to the station regional hub. And they say, Minister, what do you do? What's the shopping baskets? What's those trolleys? What's those shopping carts? And like these are not shopping carts. These are self-driving tricycles. You can step on one. You tell it where you want to go, and it drives you there. And they're like, we don't want to be driven places. We want technology to be brought to us, to follow us, because as they were shopping in the flower market, they wanted shopping baskets to stay close. They shop. They put into their hand-free shopping shop even more, and it's full, and they hear on the television that self-driving vehicles can form a fleet. And so the full cars can stay there, summon an empty one to form a fleet, and they keep shopping and keep placing into it. And isn't that nice? Well, it turns out it's not designed to do that. But because it's open source and open hardware and open data, we work with the Taipei Tech people nearby in a very nice attempt of university integration with the market and the norms. We co-created the new design so that it has two eyes. It can follow people around. It can blink. It can understand hand gestures. And most importantly, it can fit what the society expects out of self-driving vehicles. And of course, using the experiment results we had with this one-year sandbox, we now have issued the testing place for self-driving buses in Taipei City, self-driving ships on boats in the Gauchon River, and so on. But the important thing is that if you start with the norm and the market, you can encourage effective partnership without getting limited by the vision of the regulator, the entire society can co-create. And so for many prototype pilots like this, the main issue is not when it's in incubation stage. It's actually when it's in the acceleration stage in that there's often no political will to scale this innovation to the entirety of the country. Well, it turns out that we have the design called presidential hackathon, where every year, every April to July, everybody can propose such a good idea that transforms the society, and every year the president gives out five trophies. And one of the teams last year, called Water Saviour, again partnered with the National Junji University to work with these repairs people in the T-zone region. It took three months to build a chatbot that helps them to diagnose the leaking points of the water pipes. It used to take two months for a leak to appear before it's detected, but now it's just two days using this chatbot. So this is a really good idea. And there's also people from the offshore island at the Green Island who work on the telemedicine to enable local nurses to do medical treatments with the help of the broadband connected, specialized doctor from the Taiwan main island and so on. So these are all really good ideas, and they get a trophy from the president. The trophy looks something like this. There is no prize money, but there is a micro projector that's the base of the trophy. And if you turn it on, it projects the image of the president handing the trophy to the team. So it's a self-descriptive trophy, and it's very meta, but it's very useful if you're in the public sector. If you're a director at General's Day, or you prototype in Geelong, it's great, but we don't have the budget to scale it to the entire country. You just summon the president, and then they have the budget to scale it to the entire country. Or if the Ministry of Health says, oh, your telemedicine is excellent, but it actually breaks the law, we'll have to send a law of amendment, and the helicopters are owned by the Ministry of Interior. It's cross ministry, cross silo communication, very high cost, and you just summon the president, and then they go and have a meeting. There's a promise from the president and the cabinet that whatever you prototype in the past three months, we will make it into national public policy within the next 12 months. And so this political will is the actual award, and we deliver five out of the five of the previous year, and so this year there's a record number of people entering to form data collaboratives. For each incoming team, we coach them to form collaboratives that are trisectoral, meaning that at least one public servant, at least one academic or social sector, at least one private sector entrepreneur in the team so that it can be sustainable with the input of the entire society that enhances the mutual trust and reliable data availability. One of the teams that entered this year is the Airbox team. Airbox is a really good example of how even basic education teachers can engage in social responsibility. The 2000 or so measurement points here are measuring the PM 2.5, that is to say the air quality in Taiwan, and each of them is funded by just local volunteers, the basic education teachers that uses these very cheap, like less than 100 euros, Airbox is a tool to teach students what does it mean as data stewardship? What does it mean to earn some data, to answer for request of data? What does it mean for data quality? And so with more than 2000 measurement points that form a data coalition called Airbox, they have massive bargaining power compared to the environment ministry because at the time the environment ministry only had 87 measurement points and the civil society has 2000. And of course people are trusting the social sector's number because they're closer to us than the environment ministry's number. And in Taiwan, because they were completely free and open jurisdiction, we say we cannot beat them, but we have a data coalition who said we would allow the environment ministry to join our program using the civil IoT program, but we want you to set up our airboxes using our protocol joining in our distributed ledgers in these places, which are industrial parks or industrial areas, and these are private property, so they cannot break and enter and install them. But it turns out that we own the lamp in the industrial parks. They're airboxes on the lamps and completing the picture of what it means for people to measure the air quality together and people can trust each other because of distributed ledgers that people cannot modify each other's numbers. That's the blockchain property. And so this is open source and open hardware to have people around the world just downloading the software and building Raspberry Pi or Arduino. The open hardware that joins the Taiwan-initiated airbox and this year they just entered an idea of what they call water box that does the same, but actually just measures water quality in agricultural lands so that when the industrial manufacturers on agricultural land pollute the waterways, the Ministry of Economy can directly cut the electricity and cut the water supply for those polluting industrial plants. And they of course always say, no, it's the upstream that's polluting, it's not us. Well, then they are motivated to buy some waterboxes and then install it in their waterways. So how do we make sure that the entire society is okay with those new ideas that transform the society and each one has to correspond to a specific sustainable development target? Well, we use a new voting method and this is the last social innovation I would like to share with you in this talk. The quadratic voting is a new application of economic theory when it comes to social choice. In Taiwan, we have a national innovation platform called JOIN.gov.tw and the JOIN platform has more than 10 million unique visitors. Considering Taiwan is 23 million people, it's a lot of people and each of these visitors gets 99 points that can be spent on more than 130 projects and when you really like this idea you can vote one vote and that will cause you one point or if you really looked like this idea for example using machine learning to detect marine debris on the ocean before it hits the shores, it's a really good idea. You like to give it two votes and that's going to cause you four points and so on and so it's quadratic and ensure that the increasing amount of votes, the marginal cost is the same as the marginal return. So it's quadratic and because of that if you really like some idea maybe you will vote nine votes to it but still you cannot vote 10 because everybody has 99 so you still have 18 and nobody wants to squander their votes so they will look into something else and say oh this is what's maybe four points and then you still have two and then you are motivated to learn about two more sustainable goals for example to combat illicit financial flow like Panama paper somebody builds a AI to detect illicit financial flow and show companies entirely private data and sorry public data and they predicts really well and so it's certainly worse more than one so maybe people look at what they voted and they think actually this is worth more and so they would take some votes out of this one and maybe they do a seven and seven and so what this does is that using mechanism design we encourage people to learn far more about sustainable development than if they are mobilized to vote on one project only and the end result is that everybody who voted who just averaged five or six projects all of them feel that they have won when the top 20 gets announced gets incubated because if you only vote for one likely half of the people will feel they have lost that's what we see in national elections and referendums but if people express their social choice their private personal social choice in a way that contributes to the global understanding of the global goals and everybody wins and so whenever we have a quadratic voting like this it always ends in this kind of selection that makes everybody a little bit heavier and that everybody can learn that actually there's only a few divisive statements that divides the society there's only a few issues that people genuinely feel an ideological split or ideological difference otherwise people can see through this visualization platform called POLIS that actually most of their friends and families are similar when it comes to public choices of what to do and that is what sustainability goals means it means that reinforces the idea that economic, social and environment, social and business sectors all work on each other's bottom lines but if you look at a 10 year, 20 year horizon we actually reinforce each other and so this is a real case that we helped in voting green, Kentucky, USA everybody there using this new way of voting thought the arts are important what we had was science, technology, engineering, mathematics but actually it's not enough the art teachers feel that it should be steamed because the art guides the inspiration for the STEM education and so what we're seeing here is that something no matter whether they identify as Republican or Democrats or agree and the mayor can just implement this and this is a role of higher education to work as a kind of brain trust and think tank for the local population to figure out what people truly want without being derided or by the institutional and social media that over focus is on the divisive statements and reinforces the idea of a polity instead of a divisiveness and so as a final conclusion I would like to share with you my job description three years ago when I was in the competition ministry the HR people asked me to write a job description to explain what kind of innovation can join the social business environmental and governance powers together and I'm like okay there's a new thing called the sustainable goals that was just announced in 2015, agreed by everybody on the planet and so my way is just 1718 reliable data 1717 effective ownership and 1706 open innovation and they're like ministering nobody by head you have to write something in plain language so that people have some intuition of those sustainable targets and so I just write a poem, a prayer which is my job description I'll read it to you now when we see the internet of things let's make it an internet of beings when we see virtual reality let's make a shared reality when we see machine learning let's make it collaborative learning when we see user experience let's make it about human experience and whenever we hear that a singularity is near there's always remember the plurality is here, thank you very much I was saying that there's not enough time but person who was saying you know two minutes give it to two minutes then projector please would you like to switch to my okay and I'll I guess I stand up I really learned a lot from all of your contributions and stories and if you remember at the very beginning President Goole asked a question because I dropped out of junior high school when I was 15 years old what can university do to me what is higher education work for a home schooler I would like to take two minutes to briefly answer that question the reason I dropped out of junior high school is because I discovered a website back then and it's called archive and it's still around which is amazing considering it's one of the very few website I was around in the very beginning of the world web that's your alma mater Cornell yes and so Cornell really contributed to social responsibility by allowing anyone with a dial-up internet at the time because I'm interested in computer science to have the latest access to all the pre-prints using open access there was no word of open access back then just a pre-print server so that people can post their pre-peer review journals articles for people to write feedback on and so I just took a look at quite a few papers there I made my science fear project working on computational linguistics and I started writing to the papers that I cite and none of the professors know that I'm only 14 years old or 15 years old and so they all wrote back and so we started contributing two science together and so I went to my principal at the time principal Du Weiping and she said okay even you want the science fear you have a guarantee by a top to senior high school you still have to study for and get a GRE a good score and maybe you can participate in a postdoc position in your favorite professor's lab and I told the principal the professor just wrote back and we're actually working on science together already so what is the point of senior high school education and she looked at the email printouts look at archive.org which is very new to her at the time and she thought for one minute and then she said tomorrow on you don't have to go to school anymore and so I dropped out with the full blessing of my teachers and the principal and then of course I learned bioinformatics from bio archive psychology from psychology archive legal theory from the law archive and all the preprint open access service and so to my mind all these are like constellations you know in the sky in a night sky they represent the humanities collective history of organizing knowledge in ways that are understandable in each culture and each traditions and each culture may indeed have different names of constellations but for me someone who really want to understand why people trust each other so quickly on the internet with trust why people start hating on each other so quickly on the internet with hate this kind of constellation is only useful to me if they are offered in an open access format so that I can form my own constellation out of existing stars in the night sky regardless of which majors which departments or which archives preprint service they are hosted on and so this cross-disciplinary research path I think guides my vision of a purely horizontal leadership that leads to the plurality and so it's obvious that the plurality is in full force here that all of us understand the idea of co-creation with the community and so I would like to highlight two things the first is that I'm still contributing back to science and so all my work is actually published still on social archive so even though I'm not ostensibly having a university degree I think by democratizing academia everybody should be able to contribute to open access and to open science and that's the first thing to say and the second thing is that plurality is only the beginning it is just as respecting the different cultures but the highest form of freedom is to be able to migrate to a different culture from the culture of academia to the culture of the local community from the culture like in Taiwan of the eastern side of indigenous nations the Austronesian culture to the more westernized western side of the culture the ability to travel through cultures to see people's stories with a different set of eyes liberates us from our original cultures and re-embuses the meaning of sustainable development which is after a global affair and so I'd like to share with you one small poem that I just composed last week that talks about this it goes like this whirling ocean and beautiful islands has made a transcultural republic of citizens thank you so much thank you thank you very much minister we would now like to present a block of appreciation to today's participating universities we would like to invite universities to come up one at a time yes okay I want to you know in a one sentence when I say as a tradition this evening I'm going to drink as much as I could then with the permission of my wife so you guys have to thank her for allowing me to do this okay we would like to invite the universities to come up one at a time to be presented with a block of appreciation
