Supportive government policies, a well-structured healthcare system, and responses to an aging society will all play key roles in the application and promotion of AI technology. These factors are essential in ensuring that the benefits of AI are maximized while effectively addressing potential societal impacts. Support from Government Policies Government policies are crucial for the development of Taiwan’s sports industry. To promote the widespread adoption and application of AI technology in the sports industry, the government can provide support in various ways, such as offering research and development funds, tax incentives, and technical training. These measures encourage enterprises to invest in AI technology and help them overcome technological barriers. Additionally, the government can facilitate cooperation and exchange between industry, academia, and research by organizing technology exchange meetings, industry forums, and other events, accelerating the practical application of AI technology in the sports industry. Improvement of the Healthcare System Taiwan’s universal healthcare system faces significant pressure due to an aging population and limited medical resources. The application of AI technology offers potential solutions for enhancing the system. For example, AI can assist doctors in making quicker and more accurate diagnoses, predicting disease risks, and providing personalized treatment plans. In the field of sports medicine, AI can help doctors detect sports injuries earlier and create more effective rehabilitation plans, reducing the waste of medical resources and improving the efficiency of the healthcare system.
