Thailand a country of 65 million people, has had an active AI community for almost three decades. With limited research funding (less than 1% of GDP), AI researchers have had to maintain a focus on producing concrete results. They have set clear research goals to ensure that ‘Smart’ or ‘Intelligent’ systems are developed and applied to help reduce costs, improve efficiency, and increase productivity in integrated public services.
Artificial Intelligence in Thailand will bring further innovation in the sectors it affects. The jobs eliminated by AI will simultaneously allow for more jobs in data science, management, research and other high-level jobs. Thai based companies and the Thai Government have been embracing AI and preparing for the disruptive impact it will create. We will continue to report on the development of AI in Thailand.
