The Education Ministry has defended its plan to use artificial intelligence (AI) to help teachers produce short educational videos for TikTok, after the initiative sparked criticism from opponents who argued it contradicted global efforts to curb children's social media use.
The controversy emerged after Education Minister Prasert Jantararuangtong met executives from TikTok Thailand to discuss promoting educational content on the platform. The ministry also plans to sign memorandums of understanding with several sectors to support education initiatives.
