Thailand Launches ‘TH-AI Passport’ to Expand Public AI Access

NONTHABURI, Aug 31 (TNA) — Thailand’s Ministry of Digital Economy and Society officially launched the "TH-AI Passport" initiative via its AiPASS platform on Monday to boost national AI literacy and adoption.

The platform provides Thai citizens aged 15 and older with access to over 30 AI models from 14 global developers—including OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Microsoft—under a single portal.

More than 1.3 million users pre-registered for the program since sign-ups opened on August 19, according to the National Board of Digital Economy and Society Office.

The initiative combines tool access with educational courses from global tech partners. Registered users who sign up before November 30 receive a 30-day "Innovator" tier status granting access to advanced models, with free access maintained through August 2027 by completing monthly learning requirements. - 819 (TNA)
