The determination of rookie politician Chaichanok Chidchob, Minister of Digital Economy and Society (DES), to push ahead with the TH-AI Passport scheme by granting premium AI access to five million Thais with a budget of 1.6 billion baht has backfired, turning the initiative into a new political flashpoint for the Anutin government.
The so-called TH-AI Passport is being promoted as a scheme to expand citizens' access to AI technology and help the country keep pace with digital innovation.
