Context
Thailand's Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI), Chulalongkorn University and telecom operator AIS jointly launched an 'AI Literacy' course under the existing Aunjai Cyber digital-safety platform, which has run since 2019.
Objectives
The course aims to build AI fundamentals, everyday-use and safe/ethical-use knowledge among the Thai public, with learning hours eventually convertible into academic credit.
Activities
Developed with AI subject-matter experts and certified by MHESI, the course is delivered free via Thai MOOC, the LearnDi for Thais platform and the Aunjai CYBER app.
Results
The wider Aunjai Cyber initiative reports over 1.05 million learners since 2019, and the partners state the new collaboration is designed to reach over 1.8 million people nationwide.
Conclusions
Because the AI-specific module only launched in April 2026, its own completion and outcome data are not yet available; the evidence rests on the track record of the platform it extends rather than the new course itself.
