AI Education Foundation (AI教育基金會)

Identity Snapshot

  • Era: ~2024–present (first documented course Feb 2025)
  • Geography: Los Angeles (Chinatown OCAC center, SGV venues)
  • Core roles: community education organization (chinese american)

Record

  • Purpose (stated by president 潘意玲): popularize technology education, close the digital divide (縮短數位落差), “協助更多民眾接觸並善用數位工具.”
  • Programs: AI手機功能教學課程 (first cohort 2025-02-12; 2026-02-12 second run; instructor 謝逸琦); LINE/Google Maps/iPhone courses co-hosted with 洛杉磯華僑文教服務中心 at the Chinatown library (2025-06-25); co-organizer of the Taichung VGH health-lecture LA/OC tour press event.
  • Civic reach: co-host (with STC顺天联合基金会 and TUFBA 台美餐飲產業經貿发展協會) of Taste of Taiwan 2026 — the Taiwan night-market + Double Ten event at STC Rowland Heights, Oct 2–11, 2026.
  • Self-described civic philosophy: in-person teaching as community support network; digital literacy as the overseas community’s link to the world; AI as a bridge displaying Taiwan’s soft power.

Historical Significance

A data point on first-adopters of AI-era community organizing in the Chinese diaspora: an LA foundation whose entire program is teaching elders smartphone AI — anti-fraud, voice assistants — as elder-care-as-civic-work, operated hand-in-glove with the ROC consular apparatus (OCAC LA, 僑務委員 system) while co-fronting a Taiwan-framed public festival. The layer of SGV/Chinatown civil society that rarely reaches English-language histories.

Source Notes and Confidence

  • World Journal (2×, 2025), US Health Lifestyle (2×, 2025), Epoch Times SF 2026-02-14, World Journal 2026-09-26 (independent ZH press). Course dates and partnership facts multi-sourced. No own website found — founding date approximate → org-level record verified on activity, incorporation details unknown.

Deepen notes (2026-10-01)

  • Corpus re-grep 2026-10-01 (slice 09270315-7) over content/works + content/articles (EN + ZH terms: “AI Education Foundation”, “AI教育基金會”, “AI 教育基金會”): zero hits — the org’s record rests on independent ZH press (World Journal / Epoch Times / US Health Lifestyle), not on corpus memoirs, so there is nothing community-authored to absorb. Sister pages cross-checking the same facts (people/pan-yi-ling, organizations/stc-rowland-legacy, organizations/yes-plaza) carry no new facts about this org either. Verified at existing density; nothing absorbable — recorded for auto-skip next audit.
