Thailand Promotes Ethical AI Standards and Public Training

The Office of the National Digital Economy and Society Commission (ONDE) is actively promoting the 'Thailand AI Ethics Guideline' to ensure that artificial intelligence development in the country remains transparent, fair, and socially responsible. Led by ONDE Secretary-General Wetang Phuangsup and AI expert Assoc. Prof. Dr. Supaporn Kiatsin from Mahidol University, this initiative aims to raise awareness regarding the governance and risks associated with emerging technologies.

For 2026, ONDE has updated its online learning curriculum to address modern technological shifts and new risk patterns. The program covers AI governance, risk management, and responsible development. Residents and interested parties can access a free self-assessment tool for AI risks via the official website at https://ai-ethics.bde.go.th. Furthermore, ONDE has announced a free online training session titled 'Understanding AI: Using it Confidently and Ethically,' scheduled to begin on October 1, 2026.

For residents and digital professionals in Thailand, these resources provide a framework for navigating the evolving AI landscape safely. While these guidelines and training sessions are currently available, it remains to be seen how widely these ethical standards will be adopted by private sector entities and whether further regulatory mandates will follow to enforce these practices across the broader digital economy.
