    EP4-6 | An Ex-Anthropic Dev on AI Control and Why He’s Building Transparent AI in Taiwan
    Oct 5 2026
    In this episode, we sit down with Ninad Jagdish, founder of Dwnrt Absrd and creator of SupaSim, an AI platform that models and simulates how organizations work. Ninad argues that while AI systems like ChatGPT can know a lot, that doesn’t necessarily mean they understand how a business or organization actually works.So what’s missing? Ninad believes AI needs explicit models that people can inspect, test, and challenge. We discuss what SupaSim can do differently from ChatGPT, spreadsheets, and consultants, how we know when its models are wrong, and why he argues that memory and skills alone aren’t enough for AI.We also tackle the bigger question of AI control. As researchers warn about increasingly capable AI systems, could making AI’s models more transparent help keep humans in control? And with Taiwan pushing for transparency, explainability, and human oversight in AI, could Taiwan become a place to build and test a different approach?In this episode, you'll learn:Why more data doesn’t necessarily mean AI understands a businessWhat SupaSim does differently from ChatGPT or a spreadsheetWhy Ninad believes AI needs more than memory and skillsHow transparent models could help humans question AI decisionsWhat AI safety concerns mean for SupaSim’s approachHow Taiwan fits into the push for more transparent AIWhat happens if AI eventually moves from testing decisions to making them前 Anthropic 開發者提出 AI 控制警訊：這家台灣新創如何以「透明模型」守護人類主導權？ ft. Dwnrt Absrd 創辦人 Ninad Jagdish當以大型語言模型為核心的 AI 展現驚人記憶力與產出能力時，這是否意味著系統真的理解企業運作的底層邏輯？曾任職於 Anthropic 等頂尖團隊的 Ninad Jagdish 指出，海量資料與技能庫並不能等同於具備組織運行脈絡的認知模型。如果決策過程依然深藏於黑盒子中，人類將難以驗證其真偽。為此，Ninad 在台灣創立 Dwnrt Absrd 並推出 SupaSim，打造可受檢驗、推演與挑戰的透明組織模擬架構。本集節目深入探討 AI 安全與可解釋性的關鍵命題，以及台灣如何憑藉對信任與人本監管的重視，成為新世代負責任 AI 的淬鍊基地。本集重點：資料量不等於理解力：剖析語言模型的認知盲點，為何單純的記憶與技能無法替代真實商業邏輯突破試算表與顧問框架：SupaSim 如何透過動態模擬組織運作，提供比傳統工具更精確的驗證途徑打開黑盒子的透明模型：唯有讓人類能夠檢視並質疑演算依據，才能落實人機協作的安全底線防範失控的關鍵防線：直擊 AI 安全研究者的核心焦慮，探討模型透明化如何確保人類握有最終控制權台灣的制度與信任優勢：在注重可解釋性與人為監督的政策環境下，台灣如何成為透明 AI 技術的理想試驗場📍 About Host: Paolo Joseph LisingSenior Global Community Builder, Business Next Media Corp. 巨思媒體集團#GlobalFounders #TaiwanStartup #StartupEcosystem🌏 Helping foreign founders navigate Taiwan’s startup ecosystem by bringing together founders, investors, and innovators to share practical insights and support more global startups in Taiwan.🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paolojoseph/📚 Learn more about Taiwan’s startup ecosystem 👉🏼 https://meetstartup.pse.is/4jhd5u🚀 Stay connected with Taiwan–Silicon Valley innovation via the Startup Island TAIWAN Silicon Valley HubWebsite: https://sv.startupisland.tw/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/startup-island-taiwan-sv/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Startup-Island-Taiwan-Silicon-Valley-Hub/61586221303202/ Powered by Firstory Hosting

  • EP4-5 | Taiwan is Brewing a Different Kind of Coffee

    EP4-5 | Taiwan is Brewing a Different Kind of Coffee
    Sep 28 2026

    In this episode, we sit down with Jenny Hsu, a former Web3 operator who went from managing P&Ls, restructuring teams, and scaling startups to spending nearly three years working on farms, coral reefs, and regenerative agriculture.

    That unexpected journey eventually brought her back to entrepreneurship — this time through coffee.

    Jenny is now building ventures around regenerative agriculture and coffee, including Omawild, which she describes as “a nature fund disguised as coffee.”

    We talk about why she walked away from tech, what she discovered in Indonesia, why coffee became the vehicle for her bigger mission, and whether regenerative agriculture can actually scale without losing what makes it regenerative.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • Why Jenny walked away from the Web3 world
    • What she discovered through regenerative agriculture and coral restoration
    • Why coffee became her next business
    • What we don't see behind a bag of coffee
    • How Omawild connects coffee with nature restoration
    • Whether regenerative agriculture can actually scale
    • What Jenny is bringing back to Taiwan

    從 Web3 到再生農業：她如何用一杯咖啡打造「偽裝成咖啡的自然基金」？ ft. Omawild 創辦人 Jenny Hsu

    從經手損益表、重組團隊到推動 Web3 新創規模化，Jenny Hsu 曾身處科技與數位資產的最前線。然而，她卻選擇毅然轉身，走入印尼的農場、走進珊瑚礁與再生農業現場，度過將近三年的田野歲月。這段看似意料之外的歷程，最終引領她帶著全新的視角重返創業圈——這一次，她以「咖啡」為載體，創辦了再生農業品牌 Omawild，將其定義為「偽裝成咖啡的自然基金」。本集節目邀請 Jenny 深入分享她告別科技業的心路歷程、在印尼土地上的實地發現，以及如何在商業規模化與永續生態復育之間找到真正的平衡。

    本集重點：

    • 轉身告別 Web3 浪潮：放下損益表與團隊擴張的日常，為何選擇跨入看似遙遠的自然土地
    • 泥土與珊瑚礁的現場震撼：深入印尼三年實地耕作，第一線看見再生農業與海洋修復的真實困境
    • 為何是咖啡？：揭開每一包咖啡背後被忽視的產銷鏈真相，讓日常飲品化為驅動生態修復的槓桿
    • Omawild 的商業模式解密：如何跳脫傳統綠色倡議框架，將商業利潤精準導向長期的大自然投資
    • 永續與規模化的拉鋸戰：探討再生農業能否在擴大市場規模的同時，守住對土壤與生態的核心承諾

  • EP4-3 | From Luxembourg to Taiwan: Building in Europe, Developing in Asia, Innovating in Taiwan

    EP4-3 | From Luxembourg to Taiwan: Building in Europe, Developing in Asia, Innovating in Taiwan
    Sep 21 2026
    In this episode, we sit down with Richard “Rick” Wiltgen, founder of RideFair, whose entrepreneurial journey has taken him across Europe and Asia before bringing him to southern Taiwan. After spending some 20 years in Asia and most recently running a company in Luxembourg, Rick could have chosen many places to build his next venture. Instead, he chose Taiwan, and specifically Kaohsiung. He shares what building in Luxembourg taught him, why Asia remains central to developing his business, and what he found in Taiwan that made it the place to build and innovate.That decision also led him to an overlooked problem. From couriers and university shuttles to elderly-care vehicles, Rick saw fleets still making routing decisions with limited tools and little evidence of whether a better route could actually save them time or money. That became the foundation for RideFair, which uses a fleet’s own historical data to test what could have happened differently before asking operators to trust a new system.Rick also explains how his background in history shaped that approach, why he believes trust rather than optimization is the real challenge, and where AI belongs once it can prove that it actually performs better.From Luxembourg to Kaohsiung, this is a conversation about what it takes to build across markets, why location still matters for founders, and why Rick believes Taiwan can be a place not just to enter Asia, but to build what comes next.In this episode, you'll learn:What Rick learned from building businesses across Europe and AsiaWhy he chose Taiwan for his next companyWhy Kaohsiung, rather than Taipei, became the home of RideFairWhat he discovered about how commercial fleets still make routing decisionsHow RideFair uses a fleet’s own historical data to test better routes before asking operators to trust its technologyWhy Rick believes trust, not optimization, is the missing piece in the industryHow his background in history inspired RideFair’s approach to asking, “What would have happened otherwise?”Where AI fits, and why Rick believes it should prove itself before making decisions for a live fleetWhat his experience says about Taiwan’s potential as a place for international founders to build and innovate從盧森堡到台灣：跨足歐亞市場，為何他選擇落腳高雄打造車隊智慧路網？ ft. RideFair 創辦人 Richard “Rick” Wiltgen在亞洲深耕二十年、並曾於盧森堡經營企業的連續創業者 Rick，在開啟下一段創業冒險時，做出了出人意表的決定——他選擇台灣，並且直接落腳高雄。從快遞配送、大學接駁車到長照車隊，Rick 敏銳觀察到許多營運團隊在路徑規劃上，仍仰賴有限工具與直覺決策，缺乏客觀數據佐證更佳路線能否切實降低成本。這催生了 RideFair 的誕生：透過車隊過往真實歷史數據進行逆向驗證與情境推演，在導入全新系統前先證明效益。兼具歷史學背景的他，更深刻指出車隊管理的核心瓶頸往往不是「演算法最佳化」，而是營運者對系統的「信任」。本集節目帶您探討跨國創業的選址思維，以及國際創辦人如何以台灣為起點，驅動新世代智慧移動創新。本集重點：橫跨歐亞的創業視角：融會盧森堡營運智慧與深厚亞洲經歷，淬鍊出敏捷的跨市場拓土思維為何是高雄而非台北？：跳脫傳統選址框架，直擊南台灣獨特的產業能量與智慧城市發展潛力破解車隊路徑規劃盲點：快遞至長照運輸皆受限於經驗決策，傳統派工亟需實證數據打破慣性以歷史數據建立信任：運用「如果當時這樣走」的歷史推演法，先驗證節省效益再推動系統導入歷史學思維翻轉 AI 應用：演算法必須先拿出客觀實證，方能在實際路面上承擔起關鍵決策重任📍 About Host: Paolo Joseph LisingSenior Global Community Builder, Business Next Media Corp. 巨思媒體集團#GlobalFounders #TaiwanStartup #StartupEcosystem🌏 Helping foreign founders navigate Taiwan’s startup ecosystem by bringing together founders, investors, and innovators to share practical insights and support more global startups in Taiwan.🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paolojoseph/📚 Learn more about Taiwan’s startup ecosystem 👉🏼 https://meetstartup.pse.is/4jhd5u🚀 Stay connected with Taiwan–Silicon Valley innovation via the Startup Island TAIWAN Silicon Valley HubWebsite: https://sv.startupisland.tw/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/startup-island-taiwan-sv/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Startup-Island-Taiwan-Silicon-Valley-Hub/61586221303202/ Powered by Firstory Hosting
