Our Vision

Emerging technologies are reshaping the world, bringing profound changes to the political, economic, and social landscapes. Mitigating negative impacts and guiding the use of technology to enhance societal well-being have become unavoidable contemporary issues. 

Organization and Tasks

Focusing on the public needs of democracy and society, we concentrate on policy issues arising from emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence(AI) and semiconductors and promote the following three major tasks

Our Taskforces

The Research Institute for Democracy, Society, and Emerging Technology (DSET) is a newly established think tank under the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) of Taiwan R.O.C. since October 2023. It aims to serve as the leading national think tank in Taiwan with a future-oriented vision of science and technology policies that infuse and safeguard democratic values.

Our Team

The operation of the center is supervised by a director and two co-directors, leading a team of researchers with specialized expertise. This includes researchers with doctoral degrees, policy analysts with master’s degrees, and Taiwanese scholars abroad organized according to the task and theme.
