Dear directors and executives, good afternoon. I am delighted to be invited by the Taiwan Directors Association to share legal issues related to AI with you at Chia Hsin Cement Corporation. Today's topic is "Governance and Challenges of Intellectual Property Compliance in the AI-Driven Era." With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, corporate boards are facing unprecedented governance challenges, and the role of boards is also transforming. We will explore this from four perspectives: First, what governance challenges AI technology development brings to boards and how board roles are changing. Second, the importance of intellectual property rights in the AI era and risk management. Third, how to leverage generative AI to enhance intellectual property governance effectiveness. Finally, the responsibilities and practical directions boards should undertake in the AI era across four dimensions: governance, transparency, digital, and innovation.

From a legal perspective, because music creation exhibits the characteristics of human intellectual creation, it is classified as cultural intellectual property and is primarily protected by copyright law, enjoying various copyrights guaranteed by copyright law.

Sound recordings include any works featuring a series of sounds expressed through mechanical or electronic devices that can be fixed on any medium—ranging from vinyl records, cassettes, and optical discs to digital audio files in the internet age. Regarding performances,⋯
