Comment by Audrey Tang
Former Taiwan digital affairs minister
If a country has powerful servers and chips made in Taiwan, but the model, the pipeline, and the governance model are still controlled with the values of Silicon Valley or of Beijing, then you have not democratized power.AI Verified source (Feb 10, 2026)

Disputed
Disputed. The AI Now Institute source attributed to Audrey Tang does contain a very close match, but the exact sentence in both the webpage and the linked PDF reads: "...then you have not democratized power." The submitted quote omits the final word "power," so it is not verbatim as written, even though the attribution to Audrey Tang and the 2026 source are otherwise correct.

AI Unverifiable
Checks: (1) Year 2026 — recent. (2) Author/relevancy — source is a genuine primary document: "Reframing Impact: AI Summit 2026 — Democratization" by Audrey Tang, published Feb 2026 by the AI Now Institute, confirmed via web search; the quote is highly consistent with Tang's well-documented plurality/democratic-AI views distinguishing mere access to compute/chips from control of models, pipelines, and governance values. (3) Vote alignment — quote supports public/plural governance over developer- (Silicon Valley) or state- (Beijing) controlled values, consistent with statement #450 and a "for" vote. (4) Source verification — direct WebFetch of the ainowinstitute.org PDF returned HTTP 403 (blocked), and two targeted web searches did not surface the verbatim passage, so I could not positively confirm the exact wording on the source. Marking ai_unverifiable because the source URL cannot be accessed by the AI; quote is plausible and source appears authentic, but exact text is unconfirmed.
