The Taiwanese government plans to pay a bonus of 440,000 won per citizen next year. This is to share the economic growth resulting from the global increase in demand for AI, high-performance computing, and cloud services with its citizens. The Taiwanese government will compile the budget for 2027 at approximately 10.4 trillion won, which will also include funds for paying the AI bonus. However, criticism of "exclusivism" is also being raised, and there are analyses that this is a political purpose in local elections and the next presidential election.
