The Thai branch of global consultancy McKinsey & Company predicts that the three most impactful trends for Thailand over the next year will be generative artificial intelligence (AI), immersive technology, and climate technology. The prediction is a part of the company’s 2023 Tech Trends Outlook, which was published in July.

 

Gordon Candelin, senior expert and leader of McKinsey Design Southeast Asia at McKinsey & Company Thailand, emphasised the transformative potential of generative AI technology.

 

“This new entrant represents the next frontier of AI. About 75% of the total value potential of applying generative AI will be realised in four business functions, one of them being customer operations. Generative AI could increase productivity at a value of 30-45% of current function costs.”

 

While the use of generative AI technology is still in its early stages, it is garnering considerable buzz with its potential applications for businesses, such as enhancing customer experience touchpoints.

 

Aside from AI, another trend to note is immersive-reality technology. In particular, the forthcoming release of Apple’s Vision Pro AR/VR headset has sparked renewed interest in augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies, Candelin says.

Instead of holding committee meetings at expensive resorts and pretending to be the hub of hubs, why not fix what's broken first?  Here are three boring ideas:

 

Overhead spaghetti power/comms lines.

Dual-track reg'lar speed rail.

Water lines and sewage.

 

Not as word-salady as "generative AI and immersive technology," but truly impactful for the population.  And still plenty of opportunity for "10% for the big guy."

Can't wait for the ai gogo bar to be opened

I have dealt extensively with this shower of idiots when I was working. Had to work AI in there somewhere, bit as for dominating Thailand's future, how can it if the population can't code?

<deleted> hilarious.  They can't even build and maintain a functional immigration website here and they are dreaming of AI.....

 

Will all of the Thai businesses that are still using Windows XP be part of this new immersive technology.

I used the ChatGPT button at the top of the page to translate a sentence in an article on AI.  I don't know how accurate it is but I am using it to translate my Thai Tales anthology for a Thai audience.

กิจกรรมที่น่าตื่นเต้นที่เป็นเวลาสี่วันตั้งแต่วันที่ 15 ถึงวันที่ 18 สิงหาคม พ.ศ. 2566 ซึ่งเป็นการแสดงความเป็นผู้นำระดับโลกของสหราชอาณาจักรในการประยุกต์ใช้ปัญญาประดิษฐ์ (AI)

A good strategy. Keep Thais low educated and dumb while using AI to do the smart work cheaper.

I actually beleive AI female robots will be available to rent within the next 10 years wait until they perfect it should be interesting.
