Opposition MP Requests Investigation into TH-AI Passport AI Project

On September 1, 2026, Thai Post reported that opposition Member of Parliament Rukchanok Srinork submitted a formal petition to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) regarding the 'TH-AI Passport' project, an artificial intelligence initiative overseen by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society.

Rukchanok alleges that the project is underperforming, citing expert opinions that suggest the government-funded AI system is inferior to existing free-to-use alternatives. The petition seeks a thorough investigation into the procurement and development processes of the technology to determine if there was any misconduct or misuse of public funds. The MP expressed a desire for accountability, stating that she hopes to see those responsible for any potential wrongdoing face legal consequences.

For residents and travelers in Thailand, this development highlights ongoing public scrutiny regarding government digital infrastructure and the efficiency of state-led technology projects. While the project is currently under the spotlight, it remains to be confirmed whether the NACC will initiate a formal inquiry or if the allegations of technical inferiority will be substantiated by independent technical audits. As of now, the project continues to operate under the purview of the Ministry, and no official findings have been released by the anti-corruption body.
