Portfolio
Infodemic
2022–Present
Cognitive security in modern warfare: unveiling the battle against disinformation.
It revealing cognitive manipulation, collaborative patterns, and malicious dissemination to safeguard society.
Miin
2021–Present
Miin is a brand new project of Taiwan AI Labs.
It begins by understanding events through AI, then takes dynamic sources and opinions into consideration to establish a cross-platform comprehensive view.
We look forward to replacing social biases with diversification. Provide an environment of professionally trusted insights in replace of the polarized infodemic and restore the autonomy of the relationship between viewers and content creators.
