True and AWS Launch AI Hackathon with 500,000 Baht Prize Pool

True Corporation, in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), has announced a new AI hackathon aimed at addressing six critical national challenges. According to Prachachat Business, the initiative is designed to be accessible to the general public, specifically allowing individuals without prior coding experience to participate and develop AI-driven solutions.

Participants will have the opportunity to join a training program that guides them through the process of building AI solutions from the ground up. The competition offers a total prize pool of 500,000 baht. Prateep Tankuranan, Head of Technology and Solutions for the 'AI First' program, highlighted that the initiative seeks to democratize AI development by removing technical barriers.

For residents and those interested in Thailand’s digital landscape, this event represents a significant push toward integrating AI into local problem-solving. It provides a unique entry point for non-technical professionals to engage with emerging technologies. While the initiative is currently open for applications, specific details regarding the exact timeline for the hackathon rounds and the full criteria for the six national challenges remain to be confirmed by the organizers. Interested parties are encouraged to monitor official announcements from True and AWS for further updates on registration and participation requirements.
