Taiwan Should Set the Standard for Industrial AI Security
A policy argument published by Just Security calls on Taiwan to expand its existing semiconductor equipment certification framework to cover industrial AI agents, including limits on their permissions and ongoing monitoring after deployment.
Why this matters: Industrial AI agents are already running inside factories, power grids, and supply chains. The concern is not theoretical. If an AI agent has broad permissions inside critical infrastructure and no one is watching it after it goes live, that is a real opening for failure or attack. Taiwan controls a significant share of global chip manufacturing, which makes its security decisions matter well beyond its borders. Certification frameworks are only useful if they have teeth. The proposal here is to test AI before it deploys, constrain what it can do, and keep watching it afterward. That is a reasonable baseline most industrial AI policy has not reached yet.
