The issue has been highlighted by several institutions and researchers, who claim that the government's focus on AI is not aligned with the needs of the industry. For instance, a recent report by the National Science and Technology Board (NSTB) found that India's AI research output has decreased significantly since 2015. This trend is concerning, as AI has the potential to drive innovation and economic growth in the country.

This move aims to accelerate the global deployment of 6G technology. ITRI also announced three major transboundary collaborations, including one with Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technologies in Germany and Taiwanese company YTTEK, to develop a metaverse solution for intelligent industries that will be tested at Fraunhofer's testing facility. The Taiwanese 6G delegation included representatives from various organizations, including MediaTek, Compal, and universities such as National Chung Cheng University and National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. ITRI presented its FORMOSA-6G initiative, covering AI-RAN, integrated circuits, and platform setup. An experimental 6G network will be launched this year at ITRI's Hsinchu campus, serving as an international collaboration hub.
