Thailand moves forward with AI technology to upgrade industries and reduce economic inequality
Thailand is focusing on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technology to play a key role in driving the country's core industries, aiming to address the K-shaped economic recovery—a situation where some sectors grow well while others continue to struggle. It is believed that this technology will be the key to creating equality and increasing competitiveness on the international stage.
Thailand's major strengths lie in the abundance of natural resources, including land and water, as well as long-standing agricultural knowledge. Applying AI technology will help add value to these resources, particularly in the biotechnology, future food, and medical ingredient production sectors.
In the agricultural sector, AI technology will help increase the efficiency of cultivation and produce management, allowing farmers to predict and respond to weather conditions or plant diseases more accurately. This will help reduce costs and increase income for Thai farmers, who represent the majority of the population affected by economic inequality.
Furthermore, promoting industries through modern innovation creates new opportunities for Thai entrepreneurs and workers, enabling them to adapt to the digital economy era securely. Developing technological infrastructure is therefore a crucial step that will help Thailand grow sustainably and reduce the economic gap in the long term.
