Thailand and AI: The Impact of AI on Thai Workers

  • According to PwC Thailand’s CEO Survey 2024, 61 percent of CEOs hold the view that AI will significantly change operations in their companies over the next three years, while 58 percent think that it is essential for their employees to acquire new skills.
  • Overall, Thailand is expected to see fewer impacts compared to many other countries. AI is likely to primarily impact the country’s office-based and academic professions.
  • KResearch projects that Thailand’s service industry, which accounts for 52.4 percent of its GDP, is poised to be (both positively and negatively) affected by AI. Around 280,000 workers, or 3.5 percent of the total workforce in the service sector, which represents 34.7 percent of the service sector’s GDP, are at risk of being replaced by AI.
