Stay Ahead in the AI Era with "AI FOR ALL"
As AI rapidly transforms the world of work, business and the economy, scaling AI for broad impact takes more than technology alone. At the heart of this transformation is developing people who can apply AI, create innovation, and turn it into new products, services or businesses that can be realized in practice. This is the ambition behind the goal to develop AI professionals and enhance AI readiness for three million people across Thailand under the five-year strategic collaboration announced at the "Thailand AI National Mission". The AI FOR ALL Hackathon is one of the key mechanisms designed to turn learning into real-world action. Under the collaboration among CP Group, Arise Ventures Group and True Corporation, with AWS as a technology and knowledge enabler, the initiative aims to strengthen cloud and AI skills among Thais through AI learning pathways, hands-on training, certifications, and real-world innovation programs. As one of the largest private-sector digital enablement commitments in Thailand, to support that goal, the "AI for All" Hackathon is a national AI innovation hackathon open to all Thai citizens aged 18 and above. Through this program, participants from all backgrounds can have the opportunity to join and gain AI knowledge and skills, with top teams taking the next step into ideation, mentorship, and prototyping to solve Thailand's real-world challenges using AI.
