Provincial officials have launched a training programme on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in government administration as part of efforts to drive Phuket towards becoming a Smart City.
The training, titled ‘Enhancing Knowledge on the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Government Administration’, was held at Phuket Vocational College this morning (Aug 26). The session was presided over by Phuket Governor Sophon Suwannarat, with government agency heads, district chiefs, local administrative leaders and provincial officials taking part.
Narong On-in of the Phuket Provincial Office, said the rapid development of AI technology is already transforming industries and the public sector cannot afford to be left behind.
“Government officials need to have knowledge, understanding and the ability to apply AI in their work. This will help improve efficiency, streamline processes and better prepare for the digital era,” he said.
Governor Sophon noted that the initiative ties directly into Phuket’s ongoing Smart City vision.
“Phuket Province recognises the importance of Smart City development in the public sector,” he said. “This training equips leaders and officials with the knowledge to use AI to simplify tasks, enhance work processes and provide faster, more efficient public services.”
The session featured a special lecture by Chalermpol Punnotok, CEO of CT Asia Robotics Co Ltd and developer of Thailand and Asean’s first service robot, ‘Dinso’. Mr Chalermpol shared his expertise on AI applications and the future of automation in public service.
Phuket officials expect the training to improve the capabilities of government personnel, leading to the development of standardised manuals and service systems, said an official report of the event.
The aim, they said, is to align the province’s administration with Phuket’s long-term strategy for sustainable Smart City development, the report added.
