【vGCTF：COVID-19後疫情時期經濟復甦之『未來工作』】

AIT處長孫曉雅、美國勞動部副次長Thea Lee、台灣外交部部長吳釗燮、台灣勞動部部長許銘春、日本台灣交流協會代表泉裕泰，以及斯洛伐克駐台北經濟文化辦事處代表博塔文於9/9及9/10參加了全球合作暨訓練架構線上國際研討會(vGCTF)「COVID-19後疫情時期經濟復甦之『未來工作』」。

AIT處長孫曉雅於閉幕致詞中強調：「當監管機構和政府單位考慮制訂應對新興挑戰的政策時，我們認為應採取透明開放、以共識為基礎，並由私部門主導的方式，來為人工智慧等新興技術擬定標準，如此才能制訂出符合技術開發需求、獲得民眾信任，且反映我們價值觀的標準。我們將與台灣和日本等夥伴合作制訂相關標準和規範，以確保技術的運用符合倫理道德且尊重人權。」

AIT Director Sandra Oudkirk, U.S. Deputy Undersecretary of Labor Thea Lee, Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu, Taiwan Labor Minister Minister Hsu, Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association Chief Representative Hiroyasu Izumi, and Slovak Economic and Cultural Office Representative in Taipei Martin Podstavek participated in a virtual Global Cooperation and Training Framework (GCTF) workshop entitled “The Future of Work in a Post COVID-19 Economic Recovery” on September 9-10.

In her closing remarks, Director Oudkirk highlighted, “As regulators and governments consider policies to address new challenges, we believe in a transparent, consensus-based, and private sector-led approach to developing standards for emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence. That’s how we will arrive at standards that are technologically sound, have earned people’s trust, reflect our values, and help American companies compete on a level playing field. We will work with partners like Taiwan and Japan on developing standards and norms to ensure that technologies are deployed in an ethical way that respects people’s rights.”

【難忘口罩情誼】

謝謝柯思畢 Omer Caspi / 以色列駐台代表 推薦《以猶未盡 》10/30 正式出版 — 中英全文如下 ：

我很榮幸接受到邀請，為波阿斯的新書「以猶未盡」寫序。

跟波阿斯認識的契機是在2019年夏天，我當時剛抵台到任。打從一開始就對他印象深刻，尤其是他對以色列的真摯情感。他非常有天份與多才多藝，並且充份發揮他的創意來傳達他對以色列與其文化的熱忱。從過往到現在，波阿斯致力在商業、藝術、文化各領域促進雙方的互動，在彼此交流方面有很大的貢獻。而他的新作正是最好的例子。

波阿斯踏上了這趟旅程。以背包客的角度切入並且與以色列當地人民互動，也親自走過許多的地方。他的 “以色列經驗” 啟發他用文字和拍攝的相片來訴說他一路的所見所聞。

以色列地方雖小，但卻有豐富的歷史與文化。以觀光的角度，也許不需要花太多時間在景點之間的交通上，但若要讓行程賦予意義，那就要讓自己沉浸其中並且更深去體會感受。想要更整體的瞭解以色列這個國家或人民，就需要從多重的角度著手。波阿斯在探索過程中所捕捉到的片刻瞬間，恰如其分將以色列獨特迷人之處表現出來。

波阿斯說以色列開啟他對於攝影的熱忱。這對大家來說也是一大福音。從他敏銳的觀察角度，以色列的美盡收眼底，字裏行間彷彿身歷其境。

盼望這本書能夠啟發更多的人也背起行囊，來到亞洲大陸的另一端，就像波阿斯一樣，踏上發現以色列的旅程。

英文原稿：
It is both an honor and a pleasure to have been invited to write this forward for Boaz Wang's book "Gimme more Israel".

I've known Boaz since I arrived to Taiwan in the summer of 2019. From the outset, he impressed me as a true friend of Israel. An incredibly gifted, multi-talented man, Boaz found various and creative ways to express his passion for Israel. Promoting cooperation between Israelis and Taiwanese in business, art and culture, Boaz has, and continues to contribute tremendously to the mutual understanding between the people on both sides. His book is a new and wonderful example of that.

Backpacking and traveling across Israel afforded Boaz a unique personal experience made up by the people he met and places he visited along his journey. His "Israeli" encounters have greatly inspired him to express his experience in words and beautiful photos.

Israel may be a small place, but its culture, history and society are vast and extremely rich. One does not need much time to travel from one place to another in Israel, but if the journey is to be meaningful and significant, then one must submerge oneself below the surface, deep into the entrails of all that Israel has to offer. An holistic tour of Israel will always - by nature of the country and the people - be multidimensional.
So many of these dimensions were visited, explored and colorfully captured by Boaz - moments in time that reflect the special place that Israel is all about.

Boaz says that Israel has inspired him to discover his true passion – photography. I believe we should all feel blessed that such a wonderful thing has happened. Through his sensitive point of view, Israel unfolds across the pages of his book, allowing the reader a delightful reading experience.

I hope that this book will encourage many more to pack their bags and travel to the other side of the Asian continent to discover the wonders of Israel that Boaz has portrayed with such success and talent.
