World Bank calls for broader AI adoption in Thailand
Thailand is well-positioned to harness artificial intelligence (AI) to not only lift productivity, but also develop new industries and create more high-skilled jobs, though the challenge remains how to ensure AI is available to all companies, says the World Bank.
The World Bank has urged Thailand to embrace artificial intelligence (AI) more broadly in order to boost productivity, forge new industries, and generate high-skilled jobs, according to Carlos Felipe Jaramillo, the vice-president for the East Asia and Pacific Region. Jaramillo emphasized that Thailand possesses a robust electronics manufacturing base and top-notch digital infrastructure, which provide a strong foundation for AI implementation.
Nevertheless, only 12% of Thai companies currently utilize AI, highlighting the need for improved adoption and implementation. The World Bank presented the report "Building Thailand's Future Today," which outlines a forward-looking strategy for Thailand's transition to a high-income nation. The report underscores the importance of enhancing the startup system, bolstering a skilled yet inclusive workforce, and creating "cities of the future" to drive economic growth and job creation.
