Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaichanok Chidchob is defending the government’s TH-AI Passport initiative, insisting the 1.6-billion-baht project is a transparent and cost-effective investment aimed at preventing Thailand from falling behind in the global artificial intelligence race.
He was responding in the House to criticism from opposition People’s Party MP Rukchanok Srinork, who chairs the House budget scrutiny committee. She said there were questions about the project’s transparency, value for money and data privacy implications.
