B80-million Thai-language AI project launched

The government is preparing to launch a new Thai large language model (LLM) project intended to secure artificial intelligence (AI) sovereignty and drive the country’s digital economy.

The 80-million-baht project is meant to build a foundational AI infrastructure in Thailand that deeply understands the Thai language, culture and context, said Patchara Anuntasilpa, the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DES).
