Senator Nantana Nantavaropas on Monday grilled the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DES) over the B1.6bn TH-AI Passport project during a parliamentary session, questioning its transparency and stated benefits.
The senator raised nine concerns about the scheme, which involves planned spending of 1.6 billion baht to procure 12 AI models, providing up to 5 million Thais with access to professional AI services. Ms Nantana noted that the project's terms of reference (ToR) were drafted and the bidding process completed within just 34 days, arguing that the speed raised questions rather than confidence.
