Bangkok (VNA) – The Thai Government is pursuing new digital policies to handle emerging security threats, including the impacts of US-China rivalry on the economy and technology, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has said.
The government will accelerate policies so that the digital economy makes up 30% of Thailand's gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030, Paetongtarn said in an address at the National Defence College, adding this would also enhance cyber security.
It is supporting the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen the agricultural sector and increase exports to China, she said.
Thailand has drawn in billions of USD of investments in the technology sector, including a regional data centre for Microsoft and a 1 billion USD investment from Google in a data centre and cloud infrastructure./.
