Microsoft Thailand, in collaboration with the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society, has launched the “THAI Academy driving Thailand’s AI future” project, aiming to enhance the skills of over 1 million Thai individuals by 2025 to propel Thailand into the era of AI First.
Citing data from LinkedIn, Microsoft found that 70% of the skills needed for future work will change significantly, with a sixfold increase in AI proficiency required. Therefore, to drive change in Thailand, it is imperative to start by developing individuals alongside teaching AI skills to enhance work efficiency and foster new innovations.
The “AI Skills Navigator” platform is an online learning platform that gathers over 200 AI courses from Microsoft, covering a wide range from basic AI technology to its history, to cloud and the creation of AI-powered tools and solutions to address and enhance work efficiency.
