Democracy in Taiwan: The People-Public-Private Partnership

‣ BIO:
Shu Yang is consultant & international liaison of PDIS.tw, who has worked with international teams as interaction designer and creative technologist before co-founded PDIS with the Digital Minister of Taiwan. She leverages her passion and skills in interaction design and HCI (Human Computer Interaction) to rethink the interaction between the government and the civil society. The computer science background helps her assist the digital transformation in Taiwan’s open government scene, sometimes with the power of VR and AI. She is interested in areas where design overlaps with ethics, policy making and artificial intelligence.
