Abstract

This study explores the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), marine science, and legal governance in Taiwan, with the project Development and Application of Marine Exploration and Ecological Survey Technologies under Climate Change as a case study. It highlights Taiwan’s integration of AI into biodiversity monitoring, underwater exploration, and environmental analysis, while addressing legal challenges in intellectual property, data protection, and national security. A governance model was developed to enhance the legality, security, and credibility of marine datasets through data collection policies, legitimating measures, and inspection protocols. Comparative insights from the EU, United States, Japan, and Korea stress the need for Taiwan to refine AI policies, strengthen cross-agency coordination, and align with international frameworks, particularly the UN Sustainable Development Goal 14 (SDG 14) and the Ocean Decade. Taiwan’s experience provides a replicable prototype for emerging maritime AI nations, linking innovation with legal compliance and sustainable ocean governance.

人工智能海洋科学研究模式之发展：以台湾海洋科技政策及其合法实践为例

本研究以“气候变迁下海洋勘探与生态调查技术之开发与应用”为案例，探讨人工智慧、海洋科学与法治在台湾的交集。它突出了台湾将人工智能整合到生物多样性监测，水下勘探和环境分析中，同时解决了知识产权，数据保护和国家安全方面的法律挑战。开发了一个治理模型，通过数据收集政策、合法化措施和检查协议来提高海洋数据集的合法性、安全性和可信度。来自欧盟、美国、日本和韩国的比较见解强调了台湾需要完善人工智能政策，加强跨机构协调，并与国际框架保持一致，特别是联合国可持续发展目标14 （SDG 14）和海洋十年。

期刊介绍： Marine Policy is the leading journal of ocean policy studies. It offers researchers, analysts and policy makers a unique combination of analyses in the principal social science disciplines relevant to the formulation of marine policy. Major articles are contributed by specialists in marine affairs, including marine economists and marine resource managers, political scientists, marine scientists, international lawyers, geographers and anthropologists. Drawing on their expertise and research, the journal covers: international, regional and national marine policies; institutional arrangements for the management and regulation of marine activities, including fisheries and shipping; conflict resolution; marine pollution and environment; conservation and use of marine resources. Regular features of Marine Policy include research reports, conference reports and reports on current developments to keep readers up-to-date with the latest developments and research in ocean affairs.
