Thailand's Deputy PM and key tech leaders presented a framework for AI-driven competitiveness at an FCCT forum. Core message: AI adoption success hinges on converting technology into organizational capability (not merely access), developing human capital, and building Thailand's own tech sovereignty through domestic R&D and data assets. Critical challenge: 95% of AI pilot projects fail due to poor data quality and weak decision-making integration—Thai businesses must urgently shift to AI-powered efficiency to escape middle-income trap.
