The National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (Nectec) is urging the National AI Committee to adopt a priority agenda to address job displacement by artificial intelligence (AI).The agency is also expected to collaborate with the Digital Government Agency (DGA) to develop AI tools to assist state officials in drafting and auditing terms of reference (ToR) for state AI projects.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul appointed the new National AI Committee last year to oversee the National AI Strategy and Action Plan, said Chai Wutiwiwatchai, executive director of Nectec and assistant secretary of the AI committee.
The new committee is expected to become permanent, unlike previous versions.
"We hope to hold the first committee meeting this month because AI integration is an urgent national issue, and it will guide major upcoming AI projects," Mr Chai said.
One AI strategy on the agenda is establishing specialised "Centers of Excellence" to act as the primary hosts for different AI sectors.
