On the other hand, Siri AI will be available as a Beta version in the initial stage of launch. The first wave will only support English. Other languages will still need to wait for subsequent openings. Therefore, Siri AI related functions are not yet available in Taiwan. If you want to experience it first, you must change the system language and Siri language to English (United States).

Apple is pushing the iOS 27 update. The Siri AI function currently only supports English. Taiwanese users need to adjust the system language and Siri language to English (United States) and join the waiting list to experience it. The function is mainly limited to subsequent models of the iPhone 15 Pro series.

A survey by the Child Welfare Alliance shows that 31.4% of junior high school students have encountered problems with the use of AI. 15.1% of them have encountered classmates using AI to change faces to make fake photos or videos, 4.1% have been exposed to AI-generated violent or pornographic content, and 2.5% have seen AI-generated pornographic images of classmates. AI lowers the threshold for fraud and increases the risk of digital gender violence. It also shows that middle school students have insufficient media literacy. Only 31.8% do not believe AI fake news pictures at all. Australia's ban on social groups for those under 16 has sparked international discussion. 77% of Taiwan's junior high school students disagree with the ban, mainly worried about difficulty in contacting friends or feeling bored. Experts warn that children who treat AI as a target of confiding may also develop emotional dependence and risk personal information leakage.

As the functions of children's phone watches expand from call positioning to smartphone-based functions such as social networking, games, and payments, parents are worried about their children's vision loss, addiction to use, and increased consumption impulses. Brand barriers may also affect children's peer relationships. Experts point out that children's self-control ability is limited, and product design should avoid converting social needs into user stickiness tools, emphasizing necessity assessment and phased function opening. The new national standard will be implemented in 2027, but compliance does not mean suitable for children.

Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang unexpectedly received a call from U.S. President Trump at the All-In Summit event in Los Angeles. The two jointly refuted concerns that AI may "take over the world" and believed that AI will promote economic growth and national security. However, Huang Jen-Hsun emphasized that warnings from whistleblowers should be treated with caution and that AI development should be suspended or slowed down if it gets out of control.

The UN Security Council will hold a meeting on artificial intelligence next week during the UN General Assembly in New York, as France holds the council's presidency. A French diplomatic source said AI will be high on the agenda due to existential threats to global security and risks to children. UN rights chief Volker Turk urged countries and frontier AI companies to act urgently to address unprecedented risks posed by the technology.

U.S. President Donald Trump has lashed out at calls for guardrails on artificial intelligence, calling it a sick conspiracy and insisting the United States must maintain its lead over China in AI. Despite calls from Anthropic, OpenAI and xAI leaders to slow down research and development, which has garnered international attention and warnings, Trump has argued that the only control needed is a strong and smart president, warning that whoever wins AI wins everything. Chen Yixin, China’s Minister of National Security, also warned that AI has become a new strategic track for major powers and that foreign forces may threaten China’s critical information infrastructure. The international community, such as King Charles III of the United Kingdom, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the president of France's Thales, have all called for regulation, but Trump and the Republicans resisted legislation, and Vice President Vance questioned whether technology giants' initiative to seek regulation was a Trojan horse.
