Summary
Thailand’s controversial TH-AI Passport has burst out of the blocks, drawing more than 307,000 registrations within its first half-day. The government is targeting five million users for access to over 30 AI models, with the platform opening on August 31. Yet the huge early response comes amid opposition attacks, parliamentary scrutiny and an NACC complaint over the project. Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaiyanok Chidchob insists the scheme is legal and secure.
Thailand’s TH-AI Passport programme drew more than 307,000 registrations within hours of opening on Wednesday. The response immediately put the government’s five-million-user target into focus. However, the rapid uptake came as opposition scrutiny intensified over procurement, spending and implementation.
