AI REGULATIONS IN THAILAND

Thailand has been proactive in developing a National strategy and action plan for AI development. This initiative is overseen by the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) and the Office of the National Digital Economy and Society Commission (ONDE), with the goal of enhancing the country’s economy and quality of life through AI. The strategy aims to prepare Thailand’s readiness in social, ethics, law, and regulation for AI application, develop national infrastructure for sustainable AI development, increase human capability and improve AI education, drive AI technology and innovation development, and promote the use of AI in both public and private sectors

Several milestones have been achieved in this endeavor, including the establishment of the National AI Committee, approval of the Thailand National AI Strategy and Action Plan, and the creation of the Subcommittee on AI Workforce Development. Additionally, Thailand has released various guidelines and frameworks related to AI ethics, governance, and the use of AI in different sectors. These include the AI Ethics Guideline, Regulatory Framework for the Use of AI/ML in the Capital Market, Thailand Artificial Intelligence Guidelines 1.0, AI Governance Guideline for Executives, among others.

These initiatives demonstrate Thailand’s commitment to fostering a responsible and ethical AI ecosystem while promoting innovation and competitiveness in the AI sector.
