Mr Chaichana says AI governance must be supported by practical mechanisms.

The Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA) has partnered with the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (Nectec), the Thailand Banking Sector Computer Emergency Response Team (TB-CERT) and the National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA) to address cybersecurity challenges in the age of artificial intelligence (AI).Together, they have launched Thailand's first "AI red-teaming" initiative.

AI red-teaming is an adversarial testing process in which human experts or automated tools simulate malicious actors attempting to "break" or exploit an AI system, helping to identify vulnerabilities and improve system resilience before deployment.

The collaboration aims to explore how AI systems can be tested, challenged and strengthened before they are deployed in real-world services.

Chaichana Mitrpant, executive director of ETDA, said AI governance must be supported by practical mechanisms that can test whether AI systems are safe, trustworthy, fair and resilient enough to handle potential risks before they are put into real use.
