Building a Responsible AI Ecosystem: Thailand’s Journey Towards Ethical AI
Abstract
AI Thailand is a national program aiming to prepare essential infrastructure for artificial intelligence (AI) development in Thailand to promote economic growth and increase the country’s competitiveness. Multiple facets of infrastructure, human capacity, and a practical ecosystem need to be established. As a result, Thailand’s national AI strategy and action plan (2022–2027), known as NAIS, was approved by the Prime Minister’s Cabinet Office on July 26, 2022. The strategy aims to provide Thailand with an effective ecosystem for AI development. Accordingly, by implementing its strategy, NAIS will concentrate on enhancing the economy and improving Thai people’s quality of life by 2027. There are five strategies and fifteen work plans, and this work pays attention to the first strategy that prepares Thailand’s readiness in social, ethical, law, and regulation for AI applications.
