Huawei urges businesses to digitize more quickly.

Talent development 'key' to digital, AI push

According to a website held now, the government needs to concentrate more on skill development if it wants to prioritize artificial intelligence technology across the board.

According to David Li, Director of Huawei Technologies Thailand, Thailand’s labor force needs to be upskilled in order to spur coming development through scientific innovation.

At the” Innovation Driving Thai for the New Future” conference, which is a part of the Bangkok Post Forum 2023, he stated that because Thai companies are more eager to adopt new technology and create new business models than their counterparts around the world, the government must look into how to create and use AI systems to drive development into speed.

Several Thai workplaces have really digitized their operations to improve efficiency, Mr. Li noted, despite society’s general openness to new technologies.

According to the CEO of Huawei Technologies Thailand, as the use of AI systems has become more widespread across many industries, it is now crucial for the labor force to get up in order to benefit most from their software.

He cited a McKinsey research that predicted the world market would grow by between US$ 2.6 and 4 trillion as AI technology was adopted across numerous industries, including healthcare, education, financial risk management, and climatology.

In reality, many of the region’s nations have incorporated AI into their regional strategies, with Singapore taking the lead in 2020. These nations are fundamentally rethinking business models in order to reap benefits and spur fresh areas of growth, he said, not only adopting systems.

We strongly believe that Thailand may contribute to the development of cutting-edge systems in this area.

DIFFICULTIES IN GOING Electric

Three important factors need to be taken care of when it comes to online change, he said: data infrastructure, real-world application, and talent preparedness.

Increased investment in infrastructure growth has aided Thailand’s push to get online. He stated that the government must then concentrate on increasing the potential of its human resources and support the use of AI-based technology across numerous industries.

He claimed that in order to ensure that the ecology is available, in sync, and open, the government must instantly participate in furthering its ICT infrastructure rather than relying on secret investments to fuel the change.

AI LOCALIZED

According to Mr. Li, Huawei is adamant about developing more modern talent, offering partners like Thailand the best services, and continuing to invest in regional data centers.

According to him, the organization is also dedicated to providing the nation with the most cutting-edge technology to help make it the state’s center for ICT.

More important, he said, Huawei did keep collaborating with neighborhood colleges and other organizations to develop regional rules and applications that will benefit countless industries.

For instance, the company unveiled the Pangu weather forecasting model in collaboration with the Thai Meteorological Department( TMD ) at the recent Huawei Connect 2023 event in China.

According to him, this model has already been shown to be 20 % more appropriate than conventional prediction technologies, increasing weather preparedness and lowering costs.

According to Mr. Li, Huawei has contributed to Thailand’s digital transformation over the past 24 years by directly creating 6,500 work across the nation and employing about 2, 000 people there, or 77 % of them locally.

Three native data centers in Thailand were also built by Huawei with an investment of 1.4 billion ringgit.

With more than 300 of its associates, including local colleges, Huawei has so far trained over 70,000 skills.

Post forum tackles banking digitisation

Post forum tackles banking digitisation

According to the head of Citibank Thailand, digitization may spur economic growth in Thailand and boost bank effectiveness.

The nation’s banking sector is evolving into a modern banking enterprise that is supported by the advancement of modern technology. Narumon Chivangkur, Citi’s state head for Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos, spoke now at the Bangkok Post Forum 2023 on the topic of Banking Revolution, The Catalyst for Thai Economic Revival. With digitization, banking services may lessen pain points in the three core areas of transparency, speed and operating cost.

Digitization can significantly increase productivity and efficiency in addition to helping users with their problems. For instance, Citibank individually handled 200 to 300 foreign exchange transactions per day in 1996, whereas this yr 10, 000 similar transactions occur and are managed by only half as many employees, she said.

” With digitization, the banking industry’s landscape has changed from one that was product-driven in the past to the present, with a potential environment driven by technology and solutions.” In the meantime, change is happening quickly in the modern era, according to Ms. Narumon.

As of July of this year, there were approximately 70.9 million personal licenses for modern banking platforms, an 8 % increase over the previous year. Biller ID registrations are at 152, 000, growing 43 %, corporate registration are up 25 %, and PromptPay transactions are 1.68 billion, representing a 35 % increase.

According to Ms. Narumon, Citibank is prepared to assist local and foreign clients with both inbound and outbound purchase and growth as part of its global Citi 95 networks. Thailand is also a popular place for foreign direct investment, and local businesses are eager to grow abroad in search of fresh company prospects.

In addition, Citibank formed a first-of-its-kind collaboration with the World Bank and an importer of ocean purifiers in Vietnam. She expressed the hope that identical initiatives will soon be carried out in Thailand.

Police intend to question the owner and a worker at the Lat Krabang pot garden where two people’s decaying bodies were found.

On Monday, the two bodies were discovered in the 20-foot box product. It was recently deemed bare and shipped on September 28 from the Philippines.

The benefits of the examination indicate that the two had been dead for at least two weeks because both systems were swollen. There were no injuries on their bodies, and no recognition records were discovered.

According to Pol Maj Narongrit Thongsawee, an investigator at the Makkasan Railway Police Station, authorities have examined surveillance footage around the box garden and plan to gather additional footage from Laem Chabang Port in Chon Buri, where the cargo was moved.

The systems are so swelled, according to Pol Maj Narongrit, that it is currently impossible to determine the cause of death. The benefits of muscle tests, which should take at least 30 days, must be awaited by the officers.

The door was tightly locked from the outside, leading investigators to think that the couple may have suffocated while being held captive inside the box. Pol Maj Narongrit speculated that they might not have been illegal immigrants because no luggage or other things were discovered at the field.

As the ship stopped it before reaching Thailand, authorities will look for information about any missing persons from the Asian embassy, the Chinese Embassy andnbsp, Hong Kong’s official office, and Taiwan.

According to Pol Maj Narongrit, the investigation is anticipated to be resolved prior to the Railway Police Division’s closure on October 17, at which point the case may be turned over to an appropriate local police station.

Former MP Pareena calls for senator Porntip's resignation over Iceland trip
On February 16, 2021, Pareena Kraikupt, who is currently Ratchaburi’s MP Palang Pracharath, attends a political session. The former MP demanded senator Khunying Porntip Rojanasunan submit on Tuesday over her journey to Iceland during a parliamentary session and said she would ask the anti-graft organization to look into the president’s moral behavior. ( File image )

Previous Palang Pracharath MP Pareena Kraikupt has demanded senator Khunying Porntip Rojanasunan resign over her trip to Iceland during a political meeting and may ask the anti-graft organization to look into her moral behavior.

On Tuesday, Ms. Pareena demanded that Khunying Porntip submit on her Facebook website.

” Resigning from parliamentary sessions to go on vacation!” simply because you purchased an airline ticket in progress. & nbsp, Sharing photos of the visit on social media demonstrates no embarrassment over a bad deed that damaged senators’ dignity.

The original PPRP MP said,” I want to visit on Khunying Porntip to retire as a senator so she will have time to travel and this will make room for another senator next in line with the resolve to work for the country and people to exchange her.” & nbsp,

She omitted to mention the senator’s poor deed. Andnbsp, Khunying Porntip earlier shared a picture of herself lounging on moss-covered ground on an Norwegian lava area on social media. After receiving condemnation from online users for her lying on moss in a location protected for its natural sensitivity, the picture was taken down.

Ms. Pareena announced on her Facebook page that she would be traveling as well and had scheduled a conference with her younger sister. However, her journey was different from Khunying Porntip’s in that she didn’t make use of tax dollars. She did visit the Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission on Tuesday after her return from the vacation.

She would request that the NACC look into the senator’s moral behavior for taking time off for an overseas trip during the a & nbsp parliament meeting.

” There have been instances where some lawmakers gave their electronic voting accounts to other lawmakers, who finally voted on their behalf.” ……….. Then, a senator took keep from an political meeting to go on vacation rather than attend his constituency. Despite the fact that she took a constitutional leave of absence, the meeting in parliament was when she did so. This is not a good example. Were her deeds unethical in nature? ‘ She penned.

The Supreme Court andnbsp forbade Ms. Pareena from running for office for the rest of her life in April for unlawfully occupying property in a jungle modesty in her home state of Ratchaburi.
