AI產業驅動臺中：讓智慧科技溫暖的城市生活

一座城市的進步，不僅在於建築的高度，更在於我們運用科技帶給民眾更好的生活「幸福感」。

我們看見臺中正站在全球科技巨變的浪尖，當世界還在討論生成式AI的想像力時，臺中已經憑藉深厚的精密工業基礎，抓住Physical AI的發展趨勢，將AI落實於「物理世界」的具體應用中。

幸福臺中持續耀眼，從嶄新啟用的台灣文化新地標「綠美圖」，到走向世界的「臺中國際會展中心」，我們在公共建設中導入智慧館舍設計，重新定義未來公共空間的可能性。這些硬體實力與AI軟實力的結合，正是臺中產業鏈轉型升級的最佳縮影——我們不只製造機器，更在創造能理解需求、提供溫度的智慧服務。

因應AI時代來臨，我提出「數位力就是臺中競爭力」。因此，我們全力建構完善的數位生態系：從極致便利的「台中通」平台，到攜手大學培育青創人才，乃至開辦「企業 AI 應用學院」賦能中小企業。我們正在串聯產、官、學、研的能量，讓臺中成為全球AI機器人產業鏈中最關鍵的創新基地。

臺中的未來，是一場由「硬實力」與「軟科技」交織而成的進行式。無論是AI機器人產業鏈的產業亮點，還是您在生活中感受到的微小改變，都是我們攜手前進的印記。

讓我們持續發揮智慧的力量，將臺中打造為一座科技與人文共生、更具國際競爭力的未來首選之城。

AI-Driven Taichung: Smart Technology, Warmer City Life

A city's progress is measured not only by the height of its buildings, but also by how technology improves everyday life and brings people a greater sense of well-being.

As the world enters a new AI era, Taichung is moving from imagination to action. With its strong foundation in precision manufacturing, the city is embracing the rise of Physical AI and turning smart technologies into practical applications in the real world.

From the newly opened Taichung Green Museumbrary to the Taichung International Convention and Exhibition Center, Taichung is bringing smart design into public infrastructure and redefining the possibilities of future public spaces. This is also a reflection of the city's industrial transformation. We are not only making machines, but also creating intelligent services that respond to people's needs with warmth.

I have often said that digital capability is Taichung's competitive strength. That is why we continue to build a strong digital ecosystem through TCPASS, partnerships with universities, and the Enterprise AI Application Academy, helping connect industry, government, academia, and research while supporting innovation and business transformation.

Taichung's future is being shaped by both industrial strength and digital technology. With each new innovation and each improvement in daily life, we are moving toward a city where technology and humanity grow together.
