The future of artificial intelligence in Southeast Asia: The case of Thailand

Abstract

Thailand's robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) skills are increasing quickly as a result of its relevance to global supply chains and the improvements pushed by the coronavirus outbreak and global megatrends. The Thai government has incorporated AI into its National Development Plan, and the Thailand 4.0 national policy pays a lot of attention to AI, robotics, and digital industries. Since AI has a significant influence on digital transactions and Thailand's economic growth, the Thai government must foresee future advancements, particularly in the AI industry, in order to respond effectively to the volatile and uncertain future. Therefore, the technique of strategic foresight was employed to analyze the future of AI in Thailand. At the end of the chapter, a policy recommendation for how Thailand should deal with the future of AI is also made. © 2023, IGI Global.
