(Central News Agency, reporter Chen Zhizhong, Taipei, 11th) The National Arts Education Forum was held in Taipei today. Deputy Minister of Education Chang Liao Wan-chien stated that the development of new technologies such as AI (Artificial Intelligence) cannot replace human sensibility, imagination, and care. Future arts education must make technology a tool to expand creativity.
The Northern District session of the National Arts Education Forum was held today at the National Central Library. In his speech, Deputy Minister Chang Liao Wan-chien mentioned that since the promulgation and implementation of the "Arts Education Act" in 1997, arts education in Taiwan has gradually shifted from technical training towards core competencies, aesthetic experiences, and holistic development.
Now, as the "Arts Education Act" approaches its 30th year, Deputy Minister Chang Liao Wan-chien expressed his hope that professional arts education would respond to society and connect with life. He noted that artificial intelligence and digital technology will continue to change the ways of learning, creation, and performance. Technology can bring new tools and open up new imaginations; however, human sensibility, imagination, and care for culture and society remain irreplaceable.
The forum held today, themed "University Professional Arts Education and Social Connection," started from the role of professional arts education in talent cultivation, cultural shaping, and social development over the past nearly 30 years, exploring how university arts disciplines can respond to social needs, local culture, and public issues.
Additionally, the forum arranged practical case study sharing and interactive experiences between art and technology, inviting Cloud Gate Dance Theatre's dance classroom and video artists to share how AI can be used as a tool for creative assistance, sensory extension, and cross-domain co-creation.
