Taiwan Delegation Attends MACE Annual Meeting in Mongolia, Focusing on Construction AI and Policy Governance

In mid-June 2026, a delegation from the Chinese Institute of Civil and Hydraulic Engineering (CICHE) traveled to Ulaanbaatar to participate in the 30th annual meeting of the Mongolian Association of Civil Engineers (MACE). The delegation included John Moh, Chairman of Moh and Associates, and Professor Kuan-Chung Lin from National Cheng Kung University. The itinerary included visits to Mongolia's Construction Development Center and participation in the KSCE & MACE Joint Seminar on AI Applications, alongside an International Roundtable on AI Policy in the Construction Sector. Discussions centered on deploying AI across construction management, civil design, site supervision, and maintenance. During the roundtable, Moh emphasized that AI adoption must align with engineering quality, risk management, and professional liability frameworks, addressing practical project management aspects. The mission highlighted that institutional readiness, data standards, and talent cultivation remain the primary hurdles to practical AI adoption.
