The Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DES) will hold a public consultation to gather opinions on its TH-AI Passport project, which is facing growing scrutiny from the public and opposition parties.The ministry's "TH-AI Passport Forum" is inviting representatives from the private sector, academic institutions, industry experts and members of the public to participate in discussions on the development framework and implementation of this national AI upskilling initiative.
The forum will be held on June 11 at the ministry's building in the Government Complex on Chaeng Watthana Road, Bangkok.
The forum is viewed as an attempt by the ministry to open channels of communication with stakeholders while easing mounting criticism surrounding the project.
The event is expected to provide a platform for both supporters and sceptics to debate key issues, including transparency, value for money, implementation standards, and the long-term direction of Thailand's AI policy landscape.
A ministry source said the move comes at a sensitive moment for the TH-AI Passport programme, which has become the subject of intense public debate and scrutiny following criticism from opposition politicians, digital policy observers, academics, and segments of the technology industry.
