AIS Academy Launches AIS ACADEMY for THAIs 2026 to Drive National AI Capability and Practical Implementation

Brickinfo News Agency – AIS Academy opened its annual technology conference, AIS ACADEMY for THAIs 2026, under the theme “MASTERING AI BEYOND BORDERS” at Samyan Mitrtown Hall on September 11, 2026. The two-day conference brings together public and private sector representatives, academic institutions, and global technology partners to discuss practical strategies for transitioning Thailand from basic artificial intelligence access to functional AI capability.

Kantima Lerlertyuttitham, Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Chief Corporate Officer at AIS, stated that Thailand’s technological progression requires moving beyond generative AI toward advanced systems like Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). She emphasized that sustainable development requires cultivating a workforce skilled in data-driven decision-making, critical questioning, and responsible technology usage alongside foundational infrastructure development.

The conference outlines three primary operational shifts necessary for national technological adaptation: migrating from isolated individual AI adoption to comprehensive organizational transformation, advancing workforce education from simple tool usage to critical analytical capabilities, and consolidating fragmented sector initiatives into an integrated national AI ecosystem. Over 30 industry speakers and more than 20 practical workshops and masterclasses were scheduled across the event to address these dimensions.

The opening day also featured the final innovation pitching round of the JUMP Thailand Hackathon 2026, held under the theme “AI for the Future of Thai Education.” Selected from 603 competing teams representing 67 educational institutions nationwide, Team MAMO from Prince of Songkla University secured first place with “Wathasin,” an AI speech coach. Team Rub Mao Kor Rueng, also from Prince of Songkla University, placed as first runner-up with “BrailleBox,” while Team MR. BOBO from Chulalongkorn University and King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok took second runner-up with “DEAFIN Education,” and Khon Kaen University’s Team TLDR received the Popular Vote Award for “LearnLy.”

The event concludes on September 12, 2026, with sessions focused on practical SME adoption, enterprise workflow integration, and workforce readiness for automated systems.
