This keynote session will explore the evolving trends of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and their far-reaching societal impacts. The presentation begins with an overview of the latest advancements in AI technology, with a particular focus on the rise of Agentic AI applications.Furthermore, the session will examine the structural transformations in society, covering shifts in workforce patterns and skill requirements, the ubiquity of human-AI collaboration, and the emergence of new operational and economic models as organizations transition into "Agentic Enterprises."Alongside these developments, AI presents significant challenges, including the difficulty of discerning information authenticity, the widening digital divide and social polarization, and the profound impact on existing social trust mechanisms. This keynote will emphasize that, in this era of rapid AI advancement, establishing robust trust mechanisms remains the cornerstone for the sustainable development of a digital society.

As digital transformation continues to accelerate both globally and in Taiwan, AI is no longer merely a standalone technological issue, but a key force driving industrial upgrading, public service innovation, and economic restructuring. At the same time, as AI becomes deeply embedded in financial services, e-commerce, content platforms, and public services, how to build a trustworthy digital environment has become a core issue that Taiwan cannot avoid in developing its digital economy.
This panel will approach the issue from three perspectives: policy and regulation, industry practice, and technical governance. Together, the speakers will consider how Taiwan can promote the growth of the digital economy in the AI era while gradually shaping a digital economic ecosystem that combines innovative momentum with a solid foundation of trust.

Trust has become the most essential core value underpinning Internet infrastructure. In recent years, online fraud and cybersecurity threats grew more complex and varied. At the same time, the proliferation of AI accelerated digital innovation while amplifying the offensive capacity of malicious actors. Against this backdrop, building a verifiable, accountable, and institutionally supported trustworthy domain namespace remains the central mission that Taiwan Network Information Center (TWNIC) continues to pursue.This session will start with TWNIC's 2025 .tw/.台灣 domain name annual report to discuss with panelists how to establish a trustworthy namespace. This session will cover topics including green domain names and preventing DNS abuse.

In today's era where digital trust and brand building are increasingly critical, the role of domain names is evolving from simple web addresses into core infrastructure that connects identity, trust, and brand value. This session features two industry speakers who will explore the present and future of innovative domain name applications from two perspectives: Web3 technology and brand website governance.The first speaker will examine how domain names, through deep AI Agent participation in online interactions, can shape the future of the internet. This discussion aligns with TWNIC's initiatives in trusted domains, fraud prevention, and identity management challenges, aiming to rebuild the foundation of internet trust for the next decade.The second speaker will focus on lifecycle management of brand gateways, demonstrating how AI significantly lowers the barriers to website deployment. Topics will span from domain name selection and backup operational architecture to domain phishing protection, reputation monitoring, and AIO (AI-Optimized) impact, presenting a comprehensive framework from website launch to brand gateway governance.

This session brings together five professional teams awarded under the "TWNIC Grants 2024" to showcase their annual achievements in transforming internet governance theory into practical action. The presentations span three key dimensions: legal frameworks, technical defense, and social participation.The session will explore the balance between digital platform management and privacy protection, while sharing how underlying network security technologies and AI-driven fact-checking tools are being used to combat malicious domains and disinformation. Furthermore, the speakers will introduce innovative community engagement models designed to reduce social polarization and build consensus. Through these diverse case studies, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the latest trends and solutions in enhancing network resilience, regulatory transparency, and digital citizenship within today's complex internet environment.

This session is organized by the host to invite experts in cybersecurity and regulatory affairs to share their insights and practical experiences regarding the European Union’s latest Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2). Widely regarded as one of the most stringent cybersecurity regulations to date, NIS2 not only impacts organizations but also reshapes the security landscape and digital rights experienced by everyday users.Under the new framework, many digital service providers are classified as “Essential Entities” or “Important Entities” and are required to comply with stricter cybersecurity measures, including faster incident reporting, stronger identity verification, and increased transparency. These changes are expected to have a direct or indirect impact on the digital services that individuals rely on in their daily lives.Through expert sharing, this session will present the key concepts of NIS2 in an accessible way, helping participants understand its potential implications for individuals. It will also explore how to view personal data protection and user rights in the context of both GDPR privacy requirements and NIS2’s security and transparency objectives. In addition, the session will offer practical perspectives and guidance to help interested participants strengthen their cybersecurity awareness and make more informed decisions in an increasingly complex digital environment.

This session focuses on TWNIC’s approach to mitigating DNS abuse. While DNS RPZ is one of the most well-known mechanisms—helping block fraudulent websites by modifying the resolution results of malicious domains—it alone cannot fully address all forms of DNS abuse. To tackle this challenge, TWNIC has adopted a defense-in-depth strategy, leveraging multiple complementary mechanisms to enhance protection.The session will introduce TWNIC’s current practices, including DNS RPZ, the Phishing Check service, the Trust Notifier mechanism, and Passive DNS. Panelists will share their practical experience in verifying and blocking malicious domains, including their validation processes and decision-making frameworks, and discuss how to strike a balance between timeliness and accuracy.In addition, the session will explore how organizations obtain malicious domain intelligence in daily operations, covering both internal detection methods and the integration of external intelligence sources. It will also examine how cross-organizational collaboration—through intelligence sharing and coordinated mechanisms—can strengthen overall defense capabilities. Through this discussion, the session aims to facilitate knowledge exchange among stakeholders and contribute to reducing a wide range of cyber threats.

This session focuses on a new generation of participants in the field of internet governance: where they come from, how they enter a professional world that may seem distant yet profoundly shapes the core functioning of the internet, and why they choose to remain engaged. Through the experiences shared by young practitioners, we hope to help more people see that, although internet governance can be highly specialized and difficult for outsiders to grasp, it still offers identifiable pathways for participation, opportunities to build meaningful international connections, and a form of public value worth sustained commitment.
