News, Watcharin Ariyaprakai, Published on 17/02/2026
» Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant innovation confined to technology firms. It is quietly entering hospitals, medical schools and administrative offices. What appears today as a productivity tool may in fact represent a structural shift in how healthcare operates.

There has been no sign of the kind of financial turbulence that came with past economic shocks.

» In the 1990s, Thailand ranked second in Asean for state performance, behind only Singapore. Today, we trail several neighbours.
