The fatal flaw of AI-driven business models
Oped, Joachim Klement, Published on 02/04/2026
» Hundreds of billions of dollars are riding on the assumption that artificial intelligence will be reliable enough for high-stakes work. New research suggests it may never be. The AI tools that power ChatGPT and its rivals -- known as large language models, or LLMs -- are a genuine productivity-enhancing innovation. But they have serious shortcomings, most notably, their tendency to hallucinate, or make things up.
Urgent push for fair climate finance
Oped, Sarinee Achavanuntakul, Published on 01/04/2026
» Ever more visible, the various impacts from climate change are eroding both Thailand's economic competitiveness and the livelihoods of its people: season by season, in heat waves that flatten productivity, floods that swallow farmland, and coastal erosion that is slowly reclaiming communities.

Cornered Orban at risk of losing next election
News, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 28/03/2026
» Viktor Orban has not aged well. When I met him in Budapest two months before the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, he was a typical hyper-ambitious student leader. Anybody who has been to university knows the type: fluent, ruthless, perpetually on the look-out for the main chance, and oddly old still to be a student. (He was 26.)

Oped, Thitinan Pongsudhirak, Published on 27/03/2026
» It was not supposed to work like this. "America First" and "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) were supposed to be about an inward turn to repair, replenish and rebuild an externally overstretched and internally weakened country, weighed down by unnecessary global entanglements, unsustainable national debt, and unimpeded mass migration. It seemed for a time that the MAGA movement to prioritise America above and beyond the international system and its constituent parts had found its final prophet in President Donald J Trump. But now, somehow, President Trump has betrayed the movement that has carried him to office by waging a disastrous war on Iran in cooperation with Israel.
State Audit Office collapse still demands answers
Oped, Worsak Kanok-Nukulchai, Published on 27/03/2026
» One year has passed since the collapse of the State Audit Office (SAO) building -- a broad-daylight engineering tragedy that shocked Thailand and, through countless video clips shared online, much of the world. The images were unforgettable: a high-rise sinking almost straight down and ending as a flattened stack of debris within seconds.
Thailand's food industry talent gap
Oped, Napapop Thongraya, Published on 25/03/2026
» Thailand has aspired to be the "kitchen of the world". But who will do the cooking when the food scientists are overworked, underpaid, and fewer young people want to study food science in the first place?
Tackle food waste, curb pollution
Oped, Edel S. Garingan, Published on 24/03/2026
» Climate change and air pollution are not driven by carbon dioxide alone. To address global warming, we must also address extremely powerful pollutants like methane, which has the capacity to trap heat in the atmosphere far more effectively than carbon dioxide over a short period of time.
